What a great place to set up shop snd get work fine in a fantastic environment. It's the best I've seen.

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.

Industrious is a great addition to the North Shore. I had the pleasure of working there for a…read morecouple of hours. 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.

Located right in the heart of downtown Evanston in a beautiful building with views of downtown Chicago, the entire top floor of the building is brand new with a gorgeous design, furniture, coffee on tap it makes me want to never stop working in this space, very inspiring. The conference rooms are welcoming and it's not as stark as some of the other co working chains I have been in. There's a family/wellness room for people with medical needs or who are nursing, lots of private call booths, and private space outside of the reserved rooms. It was fun to see people already at work in the space and this is really going to be in the perfect location for Evanston young entrepreneurs, small businesses and rising professionals. Would also be a great space for an event!

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.

In short, I'd recommend coLab Evanston.
