Commercial real estate services provider Ryan Companies US, Inc. says has opened a new downtown office at 224 North Desplaines in the West Loop. The 6,500-sq. ft. space accommodates approximately 35 full-time employees and will complement the firm’s larger office in suburban Westmont.

“While we’ve long had a robust presence in the Chicago area, with 150 employees based in Westmont, our business is increasingly bringing us downtown as we capture more market share,” said Jim McDonald, president of Ryan Companies’ Great Lakes Region. “Our region’s business platform has grown significantly in recent years, so we need additional office space to accommodate our larger team and our growth strategies.”

More than 15 people within Ryan’s architecture + engineering division began working in the new downtown office in the fall. As the design studio of Ryan Companies, the A+E team includes experts in healthcare, industrial, multifamily, office and senior living planning and design. Other professionals in the downtown office include members of the firm’s construction, development, capital markets and marketing divisions, the company says in an April 4 statement.
