Office space for rent in Chicago, IL — 625 offices in 57 buildings

Private offices in conventional buildings, fully serviced suites, coworking desks, meeting rooms, business addresses and virtual offices. Serviced and coworking space is let on flexible monthly terms; a conventional lease is usually signed for a year or more.

Serviced offices and coworking desks are furnished, wired and ready to use — usually within a few business days. A conventionally leased floor needs a fit-out, which typically takes weeks to a few months depending on the scope of work.

For serviced offices and coworking, many operators work with foreign entities. For a conventional lease landlords normally expect a US entity, a local guarantor or a larger deposit. Setting up an LLC or a corporation is straightforward and does not block the search.

No. Our service is free for tenants — the fee is paid by the landlord or the operator. You compare buildings, pick the units you like and book a viewing directly, with no commission on your side.
