It's small - my guess is no more than 50-75 employees, but will be interesting to see who else follows suit. And although it's not a HQ or anything, add another food/beverage office from a major company to the downtown area.

Coca-Cola moving local office to Fulton Market

Coca-Cola has leased offices at a new 150,000-square-foot building that Chicago developer McCaffery Interests will open in March at 1201 W. Lake St., McCaffery announced.

The deal is relatively small, at a little under 7,400 square feet, and a Coca-Cola spokesman declined to say how many employees will be stationed there. But the beverage company will move its Chicago corporate office to the building from west suburban Downers Grove, where it was a few miles from McDonald's former headquarters in Oak Brook. Coca-Cola also will consolidate teams from other local offices to regain its proximity to one of its largest customers in McDonald’s, which moved last April to 110 N. Carpenter St

Some set up shop quickly, like Sydney, Australia-based Coates Group, which among other products designs digital displays for McDonald's drive-through lanes. The company moved its U.S. headquarters last year to 112 N. May St., two blocks west of McDonald's home. French digital kiosk company Acrelec in late 2017 bought a mixed-use loft building six blocks west of the McDonald's headquarters to build out an innovation center. And some have tested the waters by leasing co-working space nearby.

But leasing brokers in the area say it has been more of a trickle than a flood of vendors. It's far from what developer Sterling Bay envisioned when it initially proposed a 12-story office building at 210 N. Carpenter St.—a little more than a block north of McDonald's—as a "vendor village" that would be a destination for companies that do a lot of business with McDonald's.
