CHICAGO — Bradford Allen has secured a new 10,641-square-foot office lease for AMI Group at 208 S. Jefferson St. in Chicago’s West Loop. The lease marks AMI Group’s first office in the city.

The transaction was led by Bradford Allen’s Nathan Meisner, associate director, and Lauryn Sussman, senior associate, who represented AMI Group in securing the space. Mike Lombardo and Amy Skalla of Blue Star represented ownership.

AMI Group, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, will use the new location as both an office and a dedicated test kitchen for its Culinary Design Solution team, supporting its work with airline partners. The space is designed to serve as a hub for collaboration and product development.

“AMI Group’s vision for the space went beyond a traditional office,” Meisner said. “They were looking for a location that could support both day-to-day operations and a dedicated  test kitchen. This space allows them to do both in one of Chicago’s most active neighborhoods.”

Located in Chicago’s West Loop, 208 S. Jefferson offers access to public transportation, walkable dining and retail, and proximity to the city’s broader business district. The neighborhood’s reputation as a leading culinary destination aligned closely with AMI Group’s focus, making it a natural fit for the company’s next phase of growth.
