If the number of coworking spaces in a city is any indication of its entrepreneurial health, Chicago is firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n
Based on a recent survey<\/a> by Newmark Grubb Knight Frank<\/a> and Chicago Creative Space<\/a> there are 41 coworking spaces in the city, covering a staggering 868,124 square feet of space.<\/p>\n With competition for desk tenants fierce, coworking spaces are diversifying and expanding their services. Never mind barista-quality coffee, fast Internet access, and virtual office services – now you can find spaces with perks, such as art galleries, recording studios, indoor rock climbing, fresh produce, and herbs. And most use flexible coworking space software<\/a> for easy access, booking, and managing the spaces.<\/p>\n The advantages of coworking are numerous.<\/p>\n Besides the financial benefits of sharing space, coworking offers access to networking and communities that can be invaluable to any new or growing business.<\/p>\n And, being part of a group of like-minded, driven people can bring focus and energy you can\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n With these positives in mind, we\u2019ve gathered together some of Chicago’s most interesting coworking spaces.<\/p>\n 20 N Upper Wacker Dr #1200<\/p>\n TechNexus is one of the oldest coworking spaces in Chicago and prides itself on being \u201cthe gateway to collaboration for Chicago\u2019s technology leaders.\u201d Since 2007 it\u2019s helped find, fund, and nurture technology companies out of its 65,000-square-foot workspace in downtown\u2019s Lyric Opera building.<\/p>\n Receive six actionable guides, including a how to start a business checklist, detailed comparisons of LLCs, corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships to determine the best fit for your business, plus insights on crafting a compelling pitch deck to attract investors.<\/p> Receive six actionable guides, including a how to start a business checklist, detailed comparisons of LLCs, corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships to determine the best fit for your business, plus insights on crafting a compelling pitch deck to attract investors.<\/p> Receive six actionable guides, including a how to start a business checklist, detailed comparisons of LLCs, corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships to determine the best fit for your business, plus insights on crafting a compelling pitch deck to attract investors.<\/p> 224 W. Merchandise Mart Plaza This coworking space gets its name from the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, but not to commemorate it. The name is a tribute to the innovation and passion that came after the fire, \u201ca remarkable moment when the most brilliant engineers, architects, and inventors came together to build a new city.\u201d Located in the Merchandise Mart, this incubator and coworking space offers shared and private office space, meeting rooms, and a diverse slate of events. Over the years, 1871 has added coworking software<\/a> to promote easier and more flexible use of the space.<\/p>\n 600 W Jackson Blvd Assemble has two locations (with a third to open in 2017 in Wicker Park) that boast gorgeously designed spaces with lots of natural light and close proximity to transit. They offer month-to-month leases that allow tenants to upgrade as needed, a vibrant and engaged community, and complimentary access to printing, copying, utilities, and conference rooms.<\/p>\n 2100 S. Canalport Ave.<\/p>\n BLUE 1647 is a coworking space that fosters collaboration, entrepreneurialism, and creativity across many disciplines and businesses. In addition to supporting local tech startups, BLUE 1647 strives to be an education center. Hundreds of Chicago students have learned various technology skills in the space.<\/p>\n 405 W Superior, Floor 5 & 7 Coalition has six locations, with two in Chicago and others in New York and Boston. Impact’s River North location is dedicated to social innovation and boasts over 14,000 square feet spread over two floors. Energy, their second location, is in the historic Gage building in the heart of Chicago\u2019s Loop and focuses on energy-related endeavors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 North State Street #1500 MakeOffices has three locations in Chicago. Their River North location is a good example of what you\u2019ll get from any of their spaces: a large, well-designed space with a full complement of private offices, open desks, and other amenities. The Fairbanks Court location works primarily with health-tech startups, which is appropriate considering it has leased space from Northwestern Memorial Hospital. No matter which location you choose, you\u2019ll find beautiful offices and vibrant coworking communities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4101 North Broadway The Shift has two locations, one located in Uptown on North Broadway and the second (aptly named \u201cSecond Shift\u201d) in Logan Square on Diversey Avenue. Both have a neighborhood feel and have made serious efforts to integrate with the communities they are based out of. Besides the traditional coworking space and packages, people can rent the space for community events and gatherings.<\/p>\n 73 W Monroe St. Bill Bennett, one of Chicago\u2019s entrepreneur powerhouses, runs Level Office. Bennett believes in small businesses, the self-employed, and entrepreneurs and has created a space perfectly suited for their needs. Offering a modern and professional office space from which you can run your business, Level provides fully furnished, technology equipped, and amenity-rich workspaces at an affordable rate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 100 S Morgan St.<\/p>\n With research continually pushing evidence that physical exercise is linked to improved mental ability, it makes sense to have a co-working space readily accessible from your local gym. With its climbing wall, yoga studio, and sauna, Brooklyn Boulders offers just that – all within feet of your desk. With locations in Chicago, Brooklyn, Queens, and Somerville, Massachusetts, the work-workout trend is catching on. A place where your body, mind, and fledgling startup are all welcome? Hold my phone calls, please; I\u2019m going for a climb.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2141 W. North Ave., 2nd Floor<\/p>\n Free Range Office (FREO) is a coworking and conference space with the lofty goal of promoting productivity, innovation, networking, and work-life balance. They partially achieve this goal by offering members a prime location – a slew of Chicago\u2019s best restaurants and stores are a short walk away. They also carefully designed the 3800sf of space with a feng shui layout offering plenty of natural light, comfortable workspace options, a meeting\/conference\/seminar room with a 40-person capacity, and a wide array of amenities. How about a fully-equipped chef\u2019s kitchen? Maybe a shower or a peaceful outdoor terrace? If these sound appealing, FREO might be worth checking out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3455 W North Ave<\/p>\n Picture the best coworking spaces and your favorite internet cafe, and you get a pretty clear picture of what Homiey offers. Mobile professionals, students, and other independent entrepreneurs can all find a place to focus, collaborate, drink coffee, and ride the caffeine high to productivity. If you need a place to meet clients, a professional yet cozy place for a study group, or a change of scenery in your work week, homiey has you covered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1516 W Carroll Ave<\/p>\n The Roof Crop offers an unusual, idyllic landscape for green-seeking entrepreneurs. With plenty of light and abundant greenery, Roof Crop is an ideal place to collaborate, create, strategize, and spend time with nature at Chicago\u2019s finest urban farm.<\/p>\n A co-working and conference room is available for booking, and a full-service kitchen and rooftop deck to enjoy the farm’s fresh produce on-site. Daily passes are $30, but you can harvest a month\u2019s worth of visits for $310.<\/p>\n Chicago’s bustling with creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as its amazing array of coworking spaces, are proof of that.
