Impact is expanding from its current 7,000-square-foot space on the 21st floor to lease the top two floors, 40th and 41st, at the iconic150 N. Michigan. The company will initiate a build-out of the property’s penthouse suite, developing a branded, state-of-the-art workplace that will position Impact for current and future growth. As part of the deal, Impact will also receive prominent logo visibility and signage on the street-level of the building, visible to the 424,000 pedestrians and drivers traveling on Michigan Avenue every week.
The penthouse suite features two floors of angled floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of Millennium Park and the Lake Michigan shoreline. The space planning and design will amplify the Impact brand, and a full build-out will yield an open collaborative workspace with capacity for 105 employees. For the first time, this Impact office will feature a Customer Experience Center that will incorporate a new Software Demo Theater with floor-to-ceiling display technology creating an unparalleled experience for clients. Additionally, Impact will have a branded elevator with private access to the 40th and 41st floor, as well as a private interior staircase connecting both floors.

“This expansion will position Impact to recruit and retain the top-tier talent that will propel it to even greater heights in the near future,” said CBRE’s Sheehy. “With this state-of-the-art new space, combined with the wonderful building improvements that ownership is putting in place, this will be an excellent location for long-term growth.”
Founded in 1999, Impact employs over 550 people at its 17 locations and specializes in Business Process Optimization through the conception, development and execution of enterprise data & document strategies.

“We are looking forward to continuing our tenure at 150 N. Michigan Avenue, and more than doubling the square footage of office space we currently occupy.
