Frequently Asked Questions — Deerfield
How stable is the Walgreens Boots Alliance HQ presence?
The corporate structure has evolved (Walgreens merged with Boots, then Walgreens Boots Alliance formed) and headcount at the Deerfield campus has fluctuated with the company's global reorganizations. The physical HQ presence remains material; it's the largest single employer in Deerfield and shapes adjacent CRE demand.
How does Deerfield office compare to Oak Brook or Schaumburg?
Different character — Deerfield is a more residential-adjacent corporate campus market (Walgreens HQ, Baxter historical, mid-size Fortune 500 tenants) with premium demographics driving quality-of-life amenities. Oak Brook is more purpose-built corporate density; Schaumburg is more retail-anchored (Woodfield) with corporate as a secondary layer. Each has a different tenant thesis.
