In addition, you were very helpful and responsive to me in booking the room and getting me comfortable with a facility I'd never used. Thank you.

However, we went down the stairs, walked in the door and the gentleman at the security desk assured us we were in the right place. Your operation was a welcome surprise, and I'll certainly consider your facility for future meetings. Thank you again for providing this valuable service!

If seems to be a co-working space, but I was here for a workshop. Had I known I would be the first…read morereview, I'd have taken some photos because their website is conspicuously light on photos. It wasn't a bad space. The room we were in was kind of on the small side, since there were 5 rows of tables set up in the room. They were those skinny little tables you see at conferences and stuff too, which was a little bit of a pain, but no big. What actually surprised me most was that there weren't more outlets. I had my laptop to take notes, as did a couple other women, and the only outlets were high up (like more than halfway up) the wall, and only on one side of the room. My laptop didn't die, though, so it worked it alright since I was able to charge during the break. Just a bit unexpected in a modern space. I was here on a Saturday morning, in a small workshop that only had about 20 people total, so I'm not sure how it would be on a weekday, but we were the only ones there during the timeframe of our event. That was nice because it was super quiet. A couple quirks about the building, if you're heading here: They have smart elevators, and though I'm not sure exactly how they work the guard selected the floor from his desk and told me which elevator I would take to get to my floor. There are touchpads just outside the elevators, and on the way down, the only option the touchpad fave me was the lobby (although if you work there, there must be a way to access other floors). There are only about 4 buttons in the actual elevator. Also--on this floor, at least--the bathrooms are secured and you have to enter a code to enter. Nice for keeping it clean and orderly, but it could've a little stressful if you forget the code! We didn't have any kind of tech issues or anything, though it was more than a little annoying to have to agree to get promo emails from them in order to log onto the WiFi--the space was being paid for; that seems like it should have been included in the rental fee. I'm also not sure if adding a slightly larger space made it that much more expensive or something, because the catered lunch we had was set up in a kind of closet-like alcove adjacent to the larger room we were using. But overall it seems like a useful space for small meetings or other events, presentation, or co-working.

Office management has suggested we move offices (which isn't very convenient when our items are here). We requested a $100 credit from Office management for the 3 weeks the office has been less than 63 degrees, and their rebuttal was they had not heard about the issue until last week (incorrect) and that no credit will be accommodated for the poor HVAC services. I would consider this pretty poor customer service for a new tenant.

I had heard of shared spaces but wasn't sure if it would work. I shopped around looking at various shared spaces and decided to go with Co-Lab. It was the best deal out of all the different co-working places. Miguel was very accommodating, loved the idea of having an IT person on site, and was able to set up a space suitable for my type of business. The best part is that I'm saving so much money running my business from here verses renting an office alone and adding up the cost of Internet, Office supplies, furniture, etc. Co-Lab is in a vibrant area with lots of businesses nearby. I've been able to expand my clientele just by being in this location and still maintain my existing clients. My clients even commented on the space, saying that it's such an improvement compared to my old location. They love that we can meet in a professional conference room, complete with white board, and flat screen TV. I no longer have to worry about printer supplies, internet expense, electric bills, high rent, it's month to month, no risk or commitment and the free coffee is a nice touch! It's a full service, state of the art professional office space without the huge overhead of one. If you're looking for a place to run your business, or a cost effective way to begin your start-up, Co-Lab is the place. Miguel has 2 locations, one in the downtown area of Evanston, and the other on the southern boarder, practically in Chicago.

This is honestly one of the strangest reviews I've ever had to write…read more Let me start by saying I have a 30-year-old furnace and will absolutely be replacing my HVAC system within the next 12 months. I'm the type of customer most companies would want--ready to buy and looking for estimates. My first experience was with their website. I filled out the contact form, but it was clearly broken. No big deal--I found an email address on the site and let them know the form wasn't working. I never received any response. Normally, I would have moved on to another company, but they had good reviews, so I decided to give them another chance. The second time, I called to schedule an estimate for a new system. Before I could even explain what I needed, the woman who answered said, "Can you hold on? I have a customer calling." I was honestly confused and replied, "I am a customer." I was calling because I wanted to buy an entirely new HVAC system. Today, I decided to give them one final opportunity after seeing one of their trucks around town. I was transferred to someone who took my name and phone number but didn't explain what would happen next. When I asked when I should expect a callback, I was told their business hours were 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. I clarified that I wasn't asking for their hours--I was asking how long it typically takes for someone to call back about an estimate. The response was simply, "I don't know." None of these issues are major on their own, but together they paint a picture of a company that doesn't seem interested in earning new business. Three very avoidable experiences were enough for me. I'll gladly take my business elsewhere and spend my money with a company that's more responsive and customer-focused.

The location on Michigan Avenue is hard to beat, with convenient access to public transportation and a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and everyday amenities just steps away. The building offers a variety of office sizes and suites that can accommodate different business needs, making it an excellent option for startups, small businesses, and larger companies. The modern design and open layout help create a professional, comfortable environment that encourages both focused work and collaboration. One feature we especially value is access to other Expansive lounge locations throughout Chicago and in other U.S. cities. This added flexibility is a great benefit for teams or individuals who travel frequently for work. Another advantage is the included amenities, which help reduce overhead costs and simplify operations. Utilities, high-speed internet, and janitorial services are provided, along with a shared kitchen that offers complimentary coffee and water--small details that make the workspace more convenient and enjoyable. The staff--especially Dan, the on-site community manager--have been incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. From the start, he ensured a smooth onboarding process and continue to be attentive and supportive, helping create a welcoming and community-oriented environment. Overall, we highly recommend this office space to any business seeking a prime location, flexible workspace options, and a well-managed environment that supports productivity and growth.
