Bell Works Chicagoland is the former home of the AT&T headquarters, a 150-acre corporate campus located in Hoffman Estates, IL and Chicagoland’s first ‘metroburb’ — a self-contained metropolis in suburbia. Originally built in 1990 as the Ameritech Center, Inspired by Somerset Development is transforming the 1.65-million-square-foot space into a central destination complete with offices, ground-floor retail, dining, residences, community gathering spaces, and more. The transformation will turn a vacant corporate campus into a thriving ‘Main Street’ that serves Hoffman Estates and the surrounding communities. Dirk Lohan, FAIA - who helped design the original Ameritech Center - returns to the project with design firm Wight & Company and NPZ studio+, who led the reimagining of the Bell Works New Jersey Metroburb.
