WHO WE ARE
WHERE WE'RE AT
WHAT WE DO
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
For over 100 years, the building where 36Squared is located has played host to many thriving businesses and still evokes an image of a place where hard work and struggle lead to success. The rich history of our building still invokes a story of imagination, invention, innovation, and iteration. We continue to build on that narrative by re-imagining the potential for this classic building. Today, we’re a collection of start-ups, small businesses, artisans, and local enterprises. By fostering an environment where these business can thrive and grow, we are extending that long line of success.
We hope that you’ll come visit us and find the space that’s right for your business.
36Squared is only 4 miles from downtown. We’re conveniently located in the heart of the developing Bridgeport and McKinley Park neighborhoods. We are easily accessible from I-90/I-94 and I-55 and have ample gated parking.
Situated in the Central Manufacturing District (CMD), straddling the South Branch of the Chicago River, the CMD is the oldest industrial park in the country. In the early years, the CMD was host to many names linked to Chicago’s history – names like Armour, Spiegel, Sears, and Swift, among others.
The rediscovered Central Manufacturing District is gaining traction and is already home to a number of growing and thriving businesses.
We provide an entrepreneurial environment that is safe, clean, and neighborly.
We strive to create a collaborative community where your small business can achieve its goals. Our in-house small business incubator provides support along the way as you grow your business.
We currently have a wide variety of tenant “partner” businesses from professional office services and web startups to artistic endeavors and light product and package assembly. We even have on-site storage facilities for seasonal businesses and special event production storage.
We’re building an inspired business community here at 36Squared and we hope you join us. Whether you’re looking for a private loft office, a shared work space, storage, or workshops and showrooms, we have a space that’s right for you. We also host private events in our large venue spaces.
Reach out to us, we’ll be happy to give you a tour.
Find Out If We’re A Match For Your Business
At 36Squared, we strive to maintain a community of complementary businesses that work well alongside one another. When businesses treat each other like partners, it makes the whole community stronger. That’s why we prefer to call our tenants “partners” in the 36Squared community. We have a selective screening process that welcomes businesses that are not disruptive to other “partners” in the building. Generally that means activities that are loud, fragrant, or dusty are not allowed.
