Deeply uncool--until Google moves in and all the vacant office space (that costs a tiny fraction of comparable spaces in similar neighborhoods in SF and NY) downtown suddenly becomes very attractive to smaller tech companies... Pretty much the same thing happened in Fulton Market, right? There's been lots of talk of Google adding lots of new jobs in Chicago, maybe their Fulton Market office will be for engineers and tech workers and the new space would be for the front facing roles?
Unless I'm misreading this totally. Does Google have a RE arm now?
