Game Developer Zynga Signs Long-Term Lease at Cumberland Centre in Chicago

NAI Hiffman, the Midwest’s leading independent commercial real estate firm, today announced that Zynga, Inc., a global leader in interactive entertainment, has signed a long-term lease for approximately 14,000 square feet of office space at Cumberland Centre, located at 5440 N Cumberland in Chicago, IL. The relocation marks a modest expansion for Zynga from their previous 12,448 square-foot space in a nearby single-story office complex.

Cumberland Centre, a dynamic and modern three-story office building situated in the heart of O’Hare market, has recently undergone significant renovations to cater to the evolving needs of today’s workforce. The property boasts a highly energized lobby area featuring modernized lighting, comfortable seating areas, and unique pop-culture decor, creating a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for tenants.

“We are thrilled to welcome Zynga to Cumberland Centre,” said David Tomlinson, Managing Director at Integris Ventures. “Their decision to lease space here is a testament to the property’s prime location, modern amenities, and commitment to providing a superior tenant experience.”

Additional building amenities under construction include common area hallway upgrades, a building cafe, and an animated tenant lounge, designed to appeal to the youthful and energetic workforce. These enhancements are slated for completion in 2025, further solidifying Cumberland Centre’s position as a premier destination for businesses seeking a boutique hotel-inspired work environment.

“In an office environment where we’ve seen a lot of owners pulling back, Integris has continually demonstrated their commitment to Cumberland Centre,” said NAI Hiffman Executive Vice President Jason Wurtz, who represented Integris Ventures in the transaction. “Strong, committed ownership is a huge qualifier for tenants looking to make a long-term decision.”

Zynga, known for its popular social games like FarmVille and Words With Friends, was represented in the lease transaction by Jim Rose of JLL. Integris Ventures was represented by Wurtz and Jack Reardon of NAI Hiffman.
