THE CHALLENGE
Having been in the same space for the last 20 years, Susan G. Komen Chicago required a complete office refresh to perfectly fit the company's current and future needs. Bespoke represented the non-profit organization in its quest to find a space that was more collaborative and modern to adapt to today's changing work environments. Komen Chicago also needed a location that would help accommodate growth, while recruiting for top talent, as well further its efforts in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.

THE SOLUTION
Bespoke assessed the company's office operations and noticed inefficiencies in the current layout as several private offices restricted collaboration among team members, and the large space was no longer conducive to day-to-day functions. By evaluating several options and ultimately finding a landlord that believed in the company's mission and brand, we secured an office for Komen Chicago in a prominent River North location. The new office consists of open, collaborative spaces with break out areas that align with staff needs, a complete transformation from the constricted, private offices in the previous space.
THE RESULTS
By negotiating a well-below market deal with numerous concessions and rightsizing the non-profit int a space that better fits strategic needs, the Bespoke team shaved about $100k of Komen Chicago's overhead in one of the tightest submarkets in the country. Additionally, through our strategic partner, Office Revolution, we were able to get the non-profit close to $90k in new furniture at a very low cost. The savings achieved for Komen Chicago translate into 1,055 mammograms for Chicagoland women who otherwise might not have access to lifesaving screenings.
