Uber Technologies will officially call the Old Main Post Office home, according to reports earlier this week. The company signed a 10-year lease and will occupy 463,000 square feet in the building and plans to move in January of 2020. Construction is set to begin in early spring. “Uber is excited to deepen its roots in Chicago,” Uber spokesperson Kelley Quinn said in a written statement. “The city continues to attract the top talent that Uber needs to continue to thrive, and we remain committed to working together to have a positive impact in the local community.” Chicago will be the company’s second largest locations behind its headquarters in San Francisco. Uber will join other tenants including Walgreens, Ferrara Candy, Home Chef, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and ad firm Abelson Taylor.
