Entry Description

The 57-story Salesforce Chicago sits where the Chicago River’s branches meet. The Ohana Floor, Salesforce’s marquee work and gathering space, sits on Levels 56-57 offering panoramic views. The goal for this space was to transform workspaces to reinforce the company’s commitment to “Ohana”—a Hawaiian term for “family” that embodies the firm’s values. The space connects to nature via views, daylight, and landscape to promote social harmony for its occupants. Its flexible design allows for the floors to adapt to different uses, enhancing connections among employees, customers, and communities.
