Coworking in Chicago located across from Chase Plaza in the heart of The Loop

The building where it all began! 73 West Monroe holds a special place in our hearts as our original flagship location. This jewel box of a building offers five floors of renovated workspace with a bright ground floor lobby, large bike room, and stunning views of the Exelon Plaza clock and fountain. Built in 1881 and extensively restored, it retains original details like rough wood beams and ornate ironwork despite its updated finishes.

Access: Located five blocks from the Metro, three blocks from Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago, and a short walk to the Federal Building, Courthouse, and Union Station, the center offers easy access to dining (Revival Food Hall), theaters (CIBC Theater), hotels and retail.

Gil More and his team at Expansive The Loop are a top notch crew delivering stellar customer service and support. There was a temporary transition in community management and from Day 1, Gil More turned it in a strong direction and it’s been such an enjoyable experience. For those need flex office spaces, Expansive is a great option and Gil More is the person to work with*We also wanted to add that Eddie provides the best office cleaning service. Definitely the best since we've been here. The place is pristine and spotless, Eddie is communicative and super friendly with us and all the tenants. Great quality service with a smile is a rarity these days, so we're really glad Eddie is here

We're super happy with Novel Coworking! The offices are well designed with a clean layout and their offerings are more reasonable than other coworking spaces. The community manager is is super helpful with our needs and we're just happy to be looking at our 4th office space with Novel as we've been growing with them for the past 3 years. If you're looking for a coworking space, we always recommend Novel because of their flexible, safe and clean spaces! Also, a quick shout out to our community manager to appreciate all she's done for us!
