Glad they didn’t give up the whole building for the new Chicago tower. I was really worried the whole office would move north
Scott Dorsey is still local and active in the local tech scene. He’s also on the board of Salesforce. I don’t anticipate them leaving. And when I checked a little while ago, Salesforce had many positions hiring in Indy.
This 25% space reduction is a relatively small reduction in the world of remote work. I don’t think it’s worth worrying too much about by itself.
Scott Dorsey is not on the board of Salesforce.

Salesforce is expected to offload as much as 125,000 square feet of office space in its 60-story namesake skyscraper in Chicago, about two months before the company is set to move into the nearly completed trophy tower.
San Francisco-based Salesforce will begin formally marketing a large block of its 500,000-square-foot space along the Chicago River soon, a company spokeswoman confirmed, citing previously announced job cuts and plans to cut back on real estate.
Salesforce is set to move into the 1.2 million-square-foot tower, which broke ground in the early weeks of COVID-19, by late May.
Considering the prevalence of remote work, a 25% reduction in physical footprint isn’t bad. Many companies that aren’t tech companies and don’t have as much ability to allow remote work have cut much more office space, which is a lot more concerning.
It’s a 50 story file cabinet! Is the skyscraper dead? Will anyone ever build another office building skyscraper?
When necessary, towers been getting converted into hotels, apartments, and condos. I don’t think Salesforce Tower will get to that point, but that’s worst case scenario.
According to architects and developers, suburban-style complexes are harder to convert. We should keep a close eye on those to prevent a house of cards from falling.

Thanks for the info.
So glad to see that Scott Dorsey is still local and a strong advocate for
Indianapolis.
When We all are work from home what could possibly go wrong.
Located on floors 20-22 of a Downtown tower, the new Target will have great sight lines.
That’s probably never going to happen, let alone in this building.
I see what you did there, Channing K.
