Since 2006, Green Exchange has emerged as a center for innovation in the green economy and served as a living showcase for green design and practices.
Our History
The Vassar Swiss Co. Building, pictured in 1914, has been renovated to preserve its architectural heritage and place in Chicago’s history.
The Building
When Baum Development acquired the building in 2006, following the closing of the Cooper Lamp Factory, it was vacant and dilapidated, requiring a complete renovation.
Awards
A truly disruptive, first-of-its-kind project at the time of completion, Green Exchange has received numerous awards, accolades, and certifications.
