The Platform office at 1212 N. Ashland Ave. is a newly opened coworking space, ideally set right at the center of the buzzing Wicker Park area. This dynamic and vibrant neighborhood is a fantastic place to work as it’s within close proximity of fabulous eateries, bars, shops, lush green parks and other small businesses. Accessibility is another strong suit of this Platform location, as it can be easily reached not only by public transportation, via car or by foot, but also through an extensive bike path that connects the area with other important parts of the city. Specifically, the Division Blue Line stop is just a stone’s throw away and the view of the historic Polonia Park can be admired from the coworking space’s lovely rooftop terrace.
Plus, the community manager and the on-site staff are there to make every workday effortless and productive. In fact, the coworking hub itself was designed with productivity in mind, ensuring plenty of space for those working from flex desks or regular desks, and offering privacy for anyone looking to work from an office with closed doors. The common areas and well-equipped kitchen were also conceived to encourage socializing and networking among coworkers.
Additionally, members can enjoy 24/7 access, printing services, wired and wireless internet connections, entry to a fully stocked conference room that can seat up to eight people, as well as complimentary tea and coffee. Notably, locals prefer this Platform office over other Chicago coworking hubs because of its quiet and productive atmosphere, its reasonably priced membership packages, and its fantastic location. Furthermore, the shared office space attracts individuals of all backgrounds, ranging from writers and designers to programmers and salespeople, most of whom are established professionals in their respective fields.

Adaptability is at the core of coworking, so membership options are always designed to cater to your changing work requirements and team dynamics. Most spaces offer month-to-month memberships, enabling you to adjust your workspace to your changing needs. Whether your business is growing or downsizing – or you just want to upgrade to a more private setting – you always have the flexibility to make the changes you need.
While your membership agreement may have specific terms regarding changes, don’t hesitate to reach out to Platform to discuss accommodating your adjustments.
-
For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.
On the other hand, private offices are best suited for focused work and private interactions. They're ideal for solo workers as well as teams seeking a dedicated space, shielded from distractions.
Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.
-
Whether you're a day pass holder or a monthly member, you can access most amenities. Meeting rooms do require prior scheduling, and private offices are reserved for those with subscriptions. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to all. Complimentary services are also available regardless of membership tier, while ancillary services can be purchased separately or negotiated with Platform.
-
If you’re seeking flexible access, the monthly membership at 1212 North Ashland Avenue provides 24/7 access to our workspace. Hourly and day passes, however, are typically limited to regular business hours.
