Alvéole uses beehives to run a year-round tenant engagement program at your properties. Tenants gather around it, participate in it, and stay connected to the building because of it. Managed by us, with no operational lift for your team.

Bee Habitats
Bring an Alvéole program to your building
Chicago, the City of Wind, blends iconic architecture with a deep commitment to green spaces and urban sustainability. The city's pollinator-friendly initiatives and community gardens reflect its dedication to environmental stewardship. Native plants such as prairie blazing star, wild bergamot, and black-eyed Susans thrive here, supporting pollinators and contributing to Chicago's natural beauty.
A living amenity tenants actually use
A rooftop beehive gives your building a physical anchor for programming, workshops, and honey harvests. Something no other building on the block has.
Year-round events
Beekeeping workshops, honey harvests, seasonal activations. Alvéole runs all of it.
Participation data that compounds
Every workshop attended, every harvest event, every honey jar delivered generates documentation. By year three, you have a three-year participation record across every tenant.

Located in the heart of Chicago's Loop, 24 East Washington is home to a rooftop beehive that has become a cornerstone of the building's sustainability and tenant engagement strategy. Managed by JLL, the program has helped the building win a TOBY Award while giving tenants a unique, hands-on connection to urban nature.
"Tenants love the honey, and prospects never forget it. It’s thoughtful, unexpected, and a constant reminder of what makes this building different."
