Uber moving to 370 North Carpenter

Uber is hitching a ride to Chicago’s meatpacking district, where it plans to hire another 150 employees in its Midwest headquarters by late 2015.

San Francisco‐based Uber Technologies Inc., which brought its taxi‐hailing and ride‐sharing smartphone app to Chicago in 2011, signed a three‐year lease for the 12,000‐square‐foot building at 370 N. Carpenter St., where it plans to move by June, said Midwest General Manager Andrew Macdonald. The property owner, Chicago‐based developer Sterling Bay Cos., is in the process of gutting the interior of the building, a former Kingdom Farms Inc. meatpacking facility, Sterling Bay Managing Principal Andy Gloor confirmed.
