Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Astellas executives joined Monday morning in opening the new Japanese pharmaceutical headquarters in Glenview. The $140 million glass high-rise at Willow Road and I-294 will create 150 tech jobs, plus another 90 under a state tax incentive plan, said company spokeswoman Jenny Kite.
“With the 90 extra jobs, we’ve exceeded the original number. The jobs are in administration, finance, human resources and development,” she said.
The seven-story building will house 1,000 employees, and construction started in April 2010.
