To accommodate Hubbard
Street’s significant growth and to create capacity for future expansion, the
organization is exploring alternatives to its current home, the Hubbard Street
Dance Center.
Located at 1147 West Jackson Boulevard at
South Racine Avenue, this 53,000-square-foot facility is situated in the West
Loop neighborhood, near the Interstate 90/290 interchange, the University of
Illinois at Chicago and the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Blue Line station
at Racine.
The HFF team representing
Hubbard Street is led by senior managing directors Jeff Bramson and Jaime Fink, managing director Danny Kaufman and director Amy
Sands.
“Change is a core
component of Hubbard Street’s identity,” says Sara Albrecht, chair of Hubbard Street’s Board of Directors. “The organization’s strength has always been
its willingness to evolve continuously in response to the dynamic field of
contemporary dance.
“ Multiple options are
available to us as we look toward Hubbard Street’s promising future, and still
more will be identified and clarified through this assessment process. We are excited to work closely with HFF in
exploring all of these possibilities.”
