She says designers are trying to figure out how large of a logo the tower can structurally support. Smith Jones also says the EmployIndy initiative will help "train up" Indianapolis residents to potentially fill some of the approximately 800 jobs the tech giant plans to add in the city by 2021.
During an interview with Inside INdiana Business, Smith Jones said a local restaurant will also likely come to the tower. Plans for the office also include collaboration spaces, social zones and interactive demonstrations of Salesforce technology.
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) announced in May that it would establish a new headquarters in the former Chase Tower and rebrand it as Salesforce Tower Indianapolis. The tower will house both Salesforce and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, which was founded in 2000 as ExactTarget.
Salesforce, which was founded 17 years ago in San Francisco, has more than 1,000 employees in the Indianapolis area and more than 20,000 worldwide. The company says it is currently hiring for openings in business operations and technology development.
Earlier this month, Salesforce announced the $340 million acquisition of San Francisco-based data management technology company Krux Digital Inc. and ruled out a bid to purchase Twitter (NYSE: TWTR).
