When we signed the agreement, we told them we only needed the space for one month and they said they'd charge us for two but we would get a refund after the month was up. A few weeks into our renting the space, we received a contract that was to last until the end of the year. We let them know, again, that we only needed space for one month. We received written confirmation letting us know the contract was terminated. The one month is up and not only did we not get the promised refund for the additional month, they charged us for 3 more months! I would not recommend using Regus after our experience and we will be looking at other options should we need temporary office space in the future.

Nice location and very helpful staff but the billing experience here is a disaster. First, they…read morerequire a large downpayment and say you will get it returned in 3 months after leaving. Secondly, they billed me for another month after I had given my notice (and they accepted it- btw, 60 day notice) and getting the money back was a huge hassle. Finally, they slap on a $122 "exit fee" upon termination. Like I said, it's a nice facility and the on-site people are great but the organization itself needs improvement.

A great co-working space in Evanston…read more coLab was probably the best co-working space in Evanston for the price. The price was great especially for the private office. The WiFi was fast. The space was well lit. The toilet was clean. One feedback is the noise isolation between private offices, but that's the problem with other co-working spaces in the area too. In short, I'd recommend coLab Evanston.

Miguel has been nothing but accommodating for my business's needs and I consider him a partner in our success.

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.

Angela (the owner) has really created a great community of small business owners that do not have the need for a full time office or the overhead that comes with it. She has also put together a team of temporary helpers that can fill in as needed with any of the "coworkers". Everyone I have met has been friendly and there is a nice diversity of tennants. Physically, the space is great as she keeps a rotating display of local artist's work hanging on the walls and also does gallery nights. I would highly recommend Creative Coworking for anyone looking for some shared office space or mailing address on the North Shore of Chicago.

My company is a nationwide CPG brand that has established its headquarters in good ol' Evanston, IL…read more- right here at this Industrious. I feel lucky to have Elisabeth & Scott on my team - they're here to solve issues quickly and make our workday more productive by handling all the essential things a (large or small) business needs to succeed. As a hip and with-it millennial, I hear all about coworking spaces from my friends who work in the city. "We have a barista and kegs with light beer on Fridays!" they say, to which I respond, "do you have a Scott to bring you cookies?" or "what about an Elisabeth, my go-to, who makes sure that there are endless, allergy-free options to eat & drink in the community fridge at all times?" (we're talkin' soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, the expensive dairy-free yogurt I only treat myself to when there's a coupon). In all seriousness, the crew here at Industrious Evanston are reliable, relatable, realistic, timely, organized, personable, motivated and innovative. They'll jump into action to solve any problem headed their way and make you feel right at home while doing it. The space itself is COOL. It's slick and professional. A lot of coworking spaces have a too modern, very cold feel. Industrious makes sure their community spaces here are cozy, comfy, and functional. There are tons of phone booths for private conversations, focus rooms for brainstorms, and big-to-small conference rooms that provide technology to make you feel confident and comfortable in any presentation or conversation you're faced with. Gone are the days of a too cold, styrofoam ceiling spaces with projectors that stopped working in 2008. Included is even a tucked away wellness room, where I will retreat for a quick nap under a wool blanket and dim-lighting (I think this room is probably for breastfeeding mothers). Let's talk about the kitchen. People, there are four dishwashers, two sinks, two industri(ous)al sized refrigerators, two mini-fridges stocked with La Croix and the like, a cold brew and tea keg, and a toaster that takes you to the year 3000 and back all while crisping up a premium bagel. The kitchen has everything you need at all times - bowls, plates, to-go cups & silverware that are made from recyclable materials. There is something provided for breakfast every. single. day. which has brought my personal grocery budget down 40%. We have bagels, croissants, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, granola, oatmeal, etc. weekly. There's always a snack out in the afternoon too, whether it's carefully sourced organic crackers or a mac and cheese bar, you're always fed. I could literally write 4 more paragraphs on each specific thing Industrious has to offer but I've got to get back to my real job. Industrious, as a brand and as a branch here in Evanston, do NOT skimp out on quality in the slightest. Everything here is top-notch and well worth the budget we pay for rent. It's right off of the CTA and Metra and parking is right across the street - making it easy for city & suburb folks to come together. I may be biased, but Scott & Elisabeth are truly the best Industrious employees EVER. I'm so grateful for their ability to make everyone know that their concerns (if there are any) are heard, suggestions are taken into consideration, and they're here for us if things go awry.

A+ location as it's adjacent to two train stations: the Metra Union Pacific North line and the CTA Purple Line. Being in downtown Evanston, it's surrounded by lots of restaurants, cafes, and other establishments. Definitely in the vibrant part of town. When you enter the building, you can just go straight to the elevators (I didn't need to check in at the lobby to get a badge or name tag) and go up to the 5th floor. I met Katrina, the community manager, who was extremely friendly and gave me a tour of the space. It's beautifully decorated with large indoor plants, wall art made by local artists, chairs/tables of different shapes and sizes (some with colored upholstery) and contemporary accents. The ceilings are exposed and there's plenty of natural light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Very industrial chic with a modern touch. There are 69 units that vary in size: small, medium, large, coworking and executive suite. Loud, quiet, solitary, collaborative -- whatever environment works for you in terms of productivity, they've got it. Amenities include multiple conference rooms, two lounge areas, copy rooms with unlimited printing, a wellness room, a room for new moms outfitted with a changing table, huddle rooms (good for group meetings for 4-5 people), phone booths that can fit 1-2 people and even a kids' play area! In the kitchen, you'll find self-serve Colectivo coffee, nitro cold brew and matcha green tea from Limitless coffee and a fridge that's stocked with beer, juice and other beverages. There's also fruit, snacks, and breakfast. Major props for having paper straws! They make it a point to interact and get to know each and every person who works there through social hours, fun activities and networking seminars. What's great is that once you have a membership, you immediately gain access to all the other Industrious locations throughout the country. Those who frequently travel for work can revel in the fact that they can walk into any Industrious office and enjoy the same amenities and hospitality as their home location. Term agreements are flexible to accommodate your needs. Good for students, parents, entrepreneurs, remote workers, nomads, startups, and even established businesses of any size.
