Located in the iconic Michigan Plaza at the center of Michigan Avenue, the Avenue Business Center is a coworking and virtual office space that provides a top-notch workspace for business owners in need of a professional environment, rather than a work-from-home setting. Specifically, the workspace serves local attorneys, salespersons, entrepreneurs, and other business owners who need a presence in downtown Chicago, want to have a space within a community of thriving businesses and desire to improve their business image with a professional address.
Namely, the Avenue Business Center provides fully furnished, ready-to-occupy office suites to serve each business’ needs and accelerate growth in a well-designed environment. To that end, each office is designed to provide the essential administrative services that businesses require, while also ensuring that they have privacy and a focused work environment. Moreover, for enhanced professionalism, business phone numbers and trained receptionists are available to answer or transfer calls and handle voicemails.
Here, the office suites are a perfect option for small to large businesses that want to improve productivity by collaborating with like-minded professionals, as well as present a business location that leaves a good impression on their clients. Or, as a virtual office, Avenue Business Center also provides mailing services and enables on-site members to receive mail and packages that can either be picked up at their convenience or sent by schedule or upon request.
The iconic Michigan Plaza on North Michigan Avenue — also known as the Magnificent Mile — boasts access to the city’s major attractions and gives its tenants great views of Lake Michigan, Millennium Park, and the Chicago River all of which can foster creativity and inspiration while at work. The area also houses several businesses that provide convenient facilities for basic needs, such as stores, restaurants, and hotels, thereby enabling tenants to run errands without a car. In fact, transit to and from the building is easy, as the property has great transportation infrastructure for both public and private options.

The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
-
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Avenue Business Center, who is more than happy to help out.
-
Storage in coworking spaces can be limited, with most of it reserved for members with dedicated desks and private offices. However, you can reach out to the coworking operator using the form on the right side of the page to see what options are currently available.
