Corporate photography at the Esplanade at Locust Point

The Esplanade at Locust Point is a master planned office development in Downers Grove, roughly two million square feet on about a hundred acres at the interchange of I-88 and I-355, developed by Hamilton Partners. Its buildings are joined by a skywalk system, so the property works as one connected campus rather than as separate addresses sharing a parking field. Executive Towers West at 1431 Opus Place sits inside it. The amenity base is on the property: a DoubleTree Suites hotel, the Esplanade Fitness Center, a Bright Horizons daycare and Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant. For a photography program the skywalks are the detail that changes the day, because people can reach the room without going outside.

The tenant mix across the Esplanade runs to insurance, technology and finance, which is a narrower band than a general purpose suburban park and tends to mean formal briefs and a recognizable house style. Public sources describe the mix rather than publishing a company by company directory. If your team is in one of these buildings, the session happens inside your own suite.

The skywalk system is the practical advantage. A program covering two or three buildings can keep one room and bring people across under cover, which holds a schedule together in weather that would otherwise scatter it. It also means the setup only has to be built once. Tell us which building and which skywalk level your floor connects on, and we plan the walking route before the day rather than during it. A conference room of around eight feet by ten with one power outlet is the whole requirement, and the on site hotel makes two day programs straightforward.

We photograph on site, in your own office. If your team is in this building, the notes below are what the day looks like. Nothing here is a claim to a past session in it, and no tenant named is a client unless it says so elsewhere on this site.
