Mondelez International's global headquarters sits at 905 W. Fulton Street, and Stead 220's studios through two-bedroom homes at 220 N. Ada Street put that address inside a walk of under 10 minutes in 2026. This guide breaks down what to look for in apartments near Mondelez Fulton Market, which floor plans fit which relocation situation, and what to skip if a listing only looks close on a map.
- Stead 220 at 220 N. Ada Street sits under a 10-minute walk from Mondelez's Fulton Market headquarters in 2026.
- One-bedroom units suit solo relocators; two-bedroom floor plans split rent for roommates moving together.
- Skip buildings marketed as 'Fulton Market adjacent' that actually sit past Ashland Avenue or south of Lake Street.
- A rooftop pool and TechnoGym fitness center replace a commute-dependent gym membership entirely.
Why this matters
Mondelez International consolidated its global headquarters in Fulton Market, and that changes the math for anyone commuting into the neighborhood in 2026. A ten-block walk beats a forty-minute train-and-transfer commute every day of the week, and it matters twice as much for a global team running calls tied to European or Asian time zones. The apartment you pick determines whether a 7 a.m. call means rolling out of bed or catching a bus.
Fulton Market has filled in fast, and not every building advertised as "near Mondelez" or "Fulton Market adjacent" actually delivers a short walk. Some sit closer to the river or past Ashland Avenue, adding 15-20 minutes each way. That gap is the whole point of this guide.
Who this is for
This guide is built for Mondelez International employees relocating to Chicago for the Fulton Market headquarters, hybrid staff splitting time between the office and home, and anyone on a global team who can't afford a commute eating into an early or late call. It also applies to a relocating employee bringing a partner or roommate and needing a two-bedroom instead of a studio.
What to look for in apartments near Mondelez Fulton Market
Walk time under 10 minutes, not "close on paper"
A pin on a map doesn't account for one-way streets, construction detours, or the walk around a rail viaduct. Confirm the actual walking route from the building entrance to 905 W. Fulton Street before signing anything in 2026.
A workspace that isn't the kitchen table
Hybrid schedules mean video calls from home several days a week. A unit with a defined desk area or a building coworking lounge keeps a Mondelez call off a couch and off a countertop.
On-site fitness that replaces a January sidewalk run
Chicago winters cut into outdoor training fast. A building with a TechnoGym-equipped fitness center keeps a workout routine intact without a separate gym membership or a cold walk to one.
Package security for daily delivery volume
Fulton Market residents order constantly, and a lobby shelf can't handle it. Buildings with dedicated package rooms or locker systems keep deliveries from stacking up or disappearing.
Move-in flexibility that matches a relocation timeline
Corporate relocations rarely align with a standard lease start date. A building that can move a lease date by a few weeks saves a relocating employee from a temporary extended-stay bill.
Top picks near Mondelez Fulton Market
Studio at Stead 220 — the fastest move
The studio floor plans at Stead 220 pair oak hardwood floors with Italian wardrobe storage, so a solo relocator isn't unpacking into a closet built for a studio apartment twice its size. The walk to Mondelez's Fulton Market office runs under 10 minutes. For a first six months in Chicago while a relocation package sorts itself out, this is the Buy.
One-bedroom at Stead 220 — for solo professionals settling in
The one-bedroom apartments for solo professionals at Stead 220 add a separated bedroom and enough square footage for a real desk setup, which matters once a hybrid schedule settles into a routine. Anyone planning to stay in Fulton Market past the first year should look here first. Buy.
Two-bedroom at Stead 220 — for roommates or a relocating couple
Splitting a two-bedroom cuts the per-person cost of living inside a ten-minute walk of Mondelez's headquarters, and the layout works for a couple relocating together as easily as it does for two coworkers. It's a strong option, though it depends on finding a compatible roommate before a lease start date. Consider.
Corporate relocation fit at Stead 220
Employees moving on a company relocation package need a building that can flex on lease start dates and doesn't require furnishing a unit from zero. The corporate relocation apartments option at Stead 220 is built around exactly that timeline. Buy for anyone relocating on a company-driven schedule in 2026.

What to avoid
- Listings marketed as "Fulton Market adjacent" that actually sit past Ashland Avenue or south of Lake Street — that's a 15-20 minute walk, not 10.
- Walk-up buildings with no package room. Fulton Market's delivery volume overwhelms a lobby shelf fast, and a missing package is a bad way to start a relocation.
- Short-term corporate sublets without gym or pool access. Paying rent plus a separate gym membership defeats the point of picking a building near the office.

FAQ
How far is Stead 220 from Mondelez International's Fulton Market office?
Stead 220, at 220 N. Ada Street, sits under a 10-minute walk from Mondelez International's Fulton Market headquarters at 905 W. Fulton Street. The route runs entirely within the Fulton Market district, without a river crossing or highway detour.
Are studio apartments enough space for a corporate relocation?
A studio works for the first six months of a relocation, especially for a solo employee still deciding on a longer-term neighborhood. Anyone planning to stay past a year typically upgrades to a one-bedroom for the extra desk space.
Does Stead 220 have a fitness center for daily workouts?
Yes, Stead 220 includes an on-site fitness center equipped with TechnoGym equipment, which removes the need for a separate gym membership. It also cuts out a cold outdoor walk to a gym during Chicago winters.
What's the difference between a one-bedroom and two-bedroom lease for roommates?
A one-bedroom suits a single relocating employee, while a two-bedroom splits the cost between two people, whether that's roommates or a relocating couple. The two-bedroom layout at Stead 220 keeps both residents inside the same 10-minute walk to Mondelez's Fulton Market office.
Is Fulton Market walkable without a car?
Fulton Market is one of Chicago's most walkable commercial districts, with restaurants, grocery options, and the Mondelez headquarters all within a short walk of most residential buildings. A car becomes optional rather than necessary for daily life in the neighborhood.
Does Stead 220 offer secure package storage?
Stead 220's building design accounts for the high delivery volume typical of Fulton Market residents, cutting down on lost or stolen packages compared to a lobby shelf. Check current building details directly for the specific package system in place.
How much does an apartment near Mondelez Fulton Market cost in 2026?
Pricing varies by floor plan, floor, and lease term, so check current availability and rates directly with the leasing office. Studios generally run below one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms split the cost across two renters.
Is Stead 220 close to Fulton Market's restaurant row?
Yes, Stead 220 sits within walking distance of Fulton Market's restaurant corridor, putting dinner and drinks within a few minutes of both home and the Mondelez office. That proximity matters most on nights after a long stretch of global calls.
One last thing
The rooftop pool at Stead 220 sits above Fulton Market's restaurant row, so a summer evening after a Mondelez all-hands call turns into a five-minute trip up, not a rideshare across town. That's the actual value of picking a building this close to the office in 2026 — the ten minutes saved on the commute get spent on the roof instead of in a car.
