S.C. Johnson's new building is located just north of Union Station in downtown Chicago's West Loop Gate and is located about a mile and a half due west of Millennium Park.

According to the Business Journal, Crain's Chicago Business is also reporting that S.C. Johnson will lease space in a nearby office building possibly as overflow space. The IBEW building that S.C. Johnson bought is a little less than 15,000 square feet, and would be too small to house 175 workers.
