Multi-floor Office Buildout

28,000 RSF

Linden Capital built a 28,000 RSF headquarters within a premier trophy tower, transforming a dramatic double-height floor into a highly customized workplace with a new floating mezzanine and elevated conferencing suite.

The Challenge

Linden selected an exceptional double-height space at the top of the building, but needed additional area to accommodate its current team and future growth without sacrificing the openness and character that made the space unique.

At the same time, the project demanded every element carefully selected or custom designed.

The project required:

  • Creating additional usable square footage within the existing volume
  • Engineering and constructing a floating mezzanine within the double-height space
  • Preserving views, openness, and architectural impact
  • Delivering highly customized finishes and details
  • Managing specialty fabrication and long-lead procurement

 

The challenge was adding density and functionality without diminishing an exceptional piece of real estate.

Our Approach

Lumen worked with the project team to integrate a floating mezzanine into the double-height space, creating additional square footage while preserving the dramatic volume below. The new upper level became a distinctive conferencing environment overlooking the city, while careful coordination of custom materials, specialty trades, and early procurement supported the exceptionally high design standard throughout the project.

The Outcome

The completed headquarters gave Linden the space it needed for both its current team and future growth while creating a workplace appropriate to one of Chicago’s premier office locations.

The mezzanine transformed unused volume into valuable occupiable space and created a jewel-box conferencing experience at the top of the building.

The result was one of the city’s most refined office environments—adding capacity without compromising the architecture that made the space special.
