Chicago Mart Expands Showrooms
Staff -- Gifts & Decorative Accessories, 1/1/2003
Chicago — Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. will add another 60,000 square feet of exhibition space to the Permanent Market-Time Showrooms on the 13th floor of the Chicago Merchandise Mart. A total of 50 spaces, ranging in size from 650 to 5,000 square feet, will be added to the south portion of the floor in time for the January 2004 Chicago Gift & Home Market. "We're thrilled to announce this expansion, which allows us to continue to bring the best resources to Chicago," said Joan Ulrich, the Market's vice president of leasing and marketing. Permanent market-time showroom lessees have the advantage of a permanent showroom, but are required to open only during four annual markets.
