Office furniture liquidation in Chicago, IL
Corporate office furniture liquidation and decommissioning for Chicago companies, with the resale value of your furniture credited against removal in one written net offer.
Liquidating an office in Chicago
Chicago's office market draws on finance, trading, law, consulting, insurance, technology and corporate headquarters, with the deepest concentration in the Loop and West Loop and large suburban markets along the East-West Tollway, O'Hare and the northwest suburbs. Tenants moving to newer buildings while shrinking their footprint leave entire floors of furniture behind in older towers.
Downtown high-rises require freight-elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, dock scheduling and often evening or weekend work, and some buildings require union crews for moves. Suburban Tollway and O'Hare buildings are easier with surface parking and dock doors, but winter snow and ice affect loading across the whole region.
