FDIC Leases Large Office Space


The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is opening a satellite office in Schaumburg that will accommodate up to 500 temporary staffers and contractors.

The banking regulator recently began running recruiting advertisements for the new office, saying it’s looking for people with skills and experience in such areas as loan management, contract oversight and asset marketing. Its Web site lists more than 330 job openings in Schaumburg.

The FDIC, which has a downtown office, said the new location will open in March. It will manage receiverships and liquidate assets from failed Midwest banks.

That suggests that the pace of Illinois bank failures is likely to remain brisk. In 2009, regulators seized 21 banks statewide, topped only by Georgia.

The FDIC’s new office is at 200 N. Martingale Road. It said it’s occupying 105,700 square feet of the 150,705-square-foot building, or seven out of its 11 floors. It’s a three-year lease with an option to renew one to two years.

The FDIC has similar offices in Irvine, Calif., and Jacksonville, Fla., and the number of bank failures in those states picked up dramatically after the FDIC opened those quarters.

In 2008, only about a half-dozen banks failed in California despite being home to some of the nation’s most overheated real estate markets, according to bank data tracker SNL Financial. In 2009, coinciding with the opening of a West Coast FDIC office, the failure numbers tripled, SNL pointed out. Similarly, after adding its Jacksonville office, the regulator had more resources to handle collapsing lenders, and bank seizures in Florida also became more common.

Virtual office space is a great alternative if you are a small business who does not need the use of dedicated full time office space, but who still wants to create a professional business identity or if you need a branch office without the high overhead of a full time office space. As we all know taking a virtual office on rent will cost us very cheap and ill also make a different look of our venue for conducting any meeting or conference.
