The Coresite building you are talking about is 427 S. LaSalle and Coresite owns the whole thing. I worked for a company that was customer #1 on the first floor around 2007 or so when they were still renovating the building. We moved 4 racks from 600 South Federal Street which was owned by Digital Reality Trust. Coresite built out 427 over time and IIRC Google has the entire 5th or 6th floors or at least they did back when I left the company in 2015.
- kkielhofner 4y agoSure is (first link has the address). I was there once around '09/'10 for a tour and only remember them showing 2-3 floors which, again from what I remember, was the shared colocation space at the time. IIRC at least one floor was newly built out and barely occupied. We signed with them and I never had to go inside again. As far as Chicago goes from what I remember someone at the company had a bad experience with DRT so we never looked at 600 S Federal but we did look at Equinix at 350 E Cermak (which REALLY stands out) and a handful of others that weren't memorable. Thanks for the added detail!
