s a rapidly growing technology company, space decisions
decisions are very important. It was important to consider balancing three critical factors: high impact space conducive to meeting with our enterprise clients like MillerCoors, Airba/SAP, PepsiCo and RE/MAX; the right financial terms; and most importantly an environment with the amenities that will attract and retain the best talent in Chicago as we continue our growth trajectory. We were extremely fortunate to work with Kyle Robbins and MB Real Estate team. Kyle quarterbacked the entire process, clearly understanding our budgetary constraints while looking to deliver a space that would delight staff and clients alike. After an 18 month search and after considering 26 properties, Mediafly built its new headquarters at 444 N Michigan and we are thrilled with the result. Kyle’s amazing responsiveness and understanding of the Chicago marketplace was exactly what we needed to ensure Mediafly is well-positioned with a home that will support us today and for years to come.”
