New Shared Office Space Option in the Northern Chicago Suburbs

Highland Park, IL—PLUGIN workspace, a coworking office space that recently opened in downtown Highland Park, is a work place solution for those needing a place to work without the social isolation of working from home.  With the growing number of people working remotely, this space provides more than 20 individual work spaces all with secure high-speed wired and wireless internet and outlets, conference rooms and coffee lounge. 

For a small monthly fee ranging from $100-$250 per month, members not only receive a productive place to work, but have the opportunity to immerse themselves into a professional business community to network, collaborate and receive insight unavailable if they were working in isolation at home.

Coworking refers to people who are employed by different companies or work for themselves and share office space.  It’s a trend that is established in New York and the West Coast, and is starting to emerge in Chicago and Evanston.

Founder Mark Rosen is taking this shared office space model and offering it to those who work in the northern suburbs.  “With so many global companies headquartered in the northern suburbs, and with the sharp increase in people working remotely, providing a shared work space in Highland Park is a sensible business solution for those needing a quiet and professional place to get their work done—without the distractions of a noisy café or restaurant,” said Rosen.  “My goal is to provide a clean, productive and comfortable working destination for those who often find themselves isolated at home or in other unproductive working environments.”

Rosen understands that each professional has varying needs, so there are a range of membership options, as well as concierge-type services.  Rosen recently had a member need a specific mailing address, so he was able to work with the local post office to incorporate that into her membership.  “I understand that the members are here to get their work done, and PLUGIN’s mission is to provide that service and accommodate it to each individual.”

PLUGIN workspace also hosts a number of networking and local business group sessions.  All upcoming events can be found on their website, www.pluginworkspace.com.

With parking, an expansive view of the Highland Park Metra Rail Station and a full-range of office necessities, including printer/copier and private spaces for phone calls, PLUGIN workspace is currently offering a free one-week trial for those interested in the shared work space experience.
