We love our private office and access to conference rooms and coworking space at Expansive Workspace! As our business has grown, we find ourselves needing more options - Expansive delivers each time. 211 W Wacker is only 5 minutes from the Merch Mart El stop, and 7 minutes from Ogilvie.
Best place to work! I love Novel Co-working. Our community manager always knows how to keep the atmosphere fun, the coffee machine working, and the beer tap flowing. The monthly get togethers are really great too. The offices are always kept clean and garbage thrown out. Truly a pleasure to work at and the Wacker Dr. location is prime.

I first started renting office space with Novel in April 2019 after opening my Reiki and holistic health and wellness business a few months prior. I checked many of the other co-working spaces available throughout downtown Chicago, and Novel was by far the best option for me. Their spaces were perfectly sized and priced for my needs...and they were QUIET, which is a must for what I do! The staff (Dalila and Chrissy) have been super helpful and accommodating during my time in this space. They helped me to coordinate my move-in with furniture and numerous office supply deliveries, and they continue to support me with solutions for all kinds of requests/situations that come up as a small business owner. I love Novel and their team, and I plan on continuing to work in this space as long as I am in Chicago!

Our office has grown up in this Novel location. Over the years, we have more than doubled in size and Novel has been there every step of the way. Great office space and great location in the loop. The Community Manager, Chrissy, goes above and beyond every day to keep the space friendly, clean, organized, and a great place to work. I would highly recommend visiting this location of you are looking for a convenient and flexible work space for your company.

This is the best coworking space in Chicago. The flexibility to grow within the building and company is perfect for new businesses. The staff is friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to questions. The offices are well kept and the maintenance will help you set up your room if requested. We are extremely happy to have chosen Novel for our office!
