Accenture set for big West Loop expansion

Quote:
Downtown Chicago's booming tech scene is in for another big jump.
Accenture, the consulting firm, tomorrow is expected to announce a major expansion of its Chicago office. The firm is not commenting, but the event is significant enough that both Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot are scheduled to attend a mid-morning press conference unveiling the news.
Sources close to the matter say the company, which started as a spinoff of the old Arthur Andersen accounting firm, will be adding about 600 net new jobs, most of them in the tech area.
Accenture three years ago opened a 70,000-square-foot digital hub at 500 W. Madison, and sources say the firm will be consolidating all of its local workforce there.
