This year, our team proudly finished the 38,000-square-foot expansion for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. The Food Depository is a pillar of our community, and we are honored to help them expand and serve more people than ever before. The expansion added a commercial kitchen for meal preparation, cold storage spaces to support the food preparation areas, a new lobby and 11.5 acres of site work with ample parking for volunteers and guests. Congratulation to JLL, Partners by Design, V3 Companies, Buro Happold, Salas O'Brien, PM&E Partners, LLC, and all of our trade partners on this incredible feat. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g9AXTcp2

Our team had the incredible opportunity to volunteer for the Chicago Winter Stand Down on Friday to help give back to Veterans in need. We're honored to be able to serve this community as they have served us. Today, we take a moment to reflect on the selfless sacrifice our Veterans have made and continue to make for our country. Thank you to all who have served or are actively serving.

Take a walk inside Relativity's stunning new 100,000-square-foot office. The modern, high-tech workspace was meticulously constructed inside the iconic, 100-year-old Central Standard Building at 231 S LaSalle. From a stadium staircase to a dedicated outdoor terrace, the software developer’s new HQ was a labor of love for everyone on the team.
