In the vibrant River North neighborhood of Chicago, Workbox – River North offers a coworking experience that blends premium workspace design with real business growth opportunities.
As part of a national network of innovative workspaces, Workbox is more than a place to work — it’s a platform for connection, capital, and collaboration.
About Workbox: A National Workspace Platform
Workbox is a national workspace operator and professional platform that helps businesses go beyond office space. In addition to providing flexible work environments, Workbox connects members to investors, professional specialists, and high-growth businesses across its national network.
With 13 locations across 7 U.S. cities, Workbox is one of the fastest-growing workspace operators in the country, recognized for its hybrid model that combines physical space with business-growth infrastructure.
Across all its locations — including River North — Workbox offers:
- Private offices for individuals and teams
- Reserved desks for consistent workspace access
- Floating memberships for flexible mobility
- Meeting and event spaces for collaboration and brand building
This integrated approach makes Workbox a standout among coworking providers in Chicago and beyond.
Prime Location in Chicago’s River North
Situated in Chicago’s River North District, this coworking space offers a mix of culture, commerce, and creativity. Known for its art galleries, tech companies, and vibrant dining scene, River North attracts ambitious professionals looking for more than just a workspace — it’s a lifestyle hub.
From this central location, members enjoy easy access to downtown, major transit routes, and a community that mirrors Chicago’s entrepreneurial spirit.
“Our location is the cultural embodiment of Chicago—on the eastern side of the office, members can view the “L” train pass by while the western side of the office offers up a direct view to the filming site for Hulu’s hit cooking drama The Bear. It couldn’t be more Chicago!”
John Wallace, Founder & CEO

Why Workbox River North Stands Out
1. A Platform, Not Just a Place
Unlike traditional coworking operators, Workbox combines workspace with business acceleration tools, giving members direct access to investors and specialists who can help drive growth.
2. National Reach
With 13 locations across 7 major U.S. cities, Workbox offers unmatched flexibility for remote and expanding teams that need seamless access to multiple markets.
3. Community and Collaboration
From curated introductions to investor pitch sessions, the Workbox ecosystem thrives on connection. River North members benefit from local engagement while remaining plugged into a national network.
4. Scalable and Flexible Options
Whether you need one desk or a private suite for a team, flexible contracts make it easy to grow within the same location — or across the country.
5. Chicago Prestige, River North Energy
River North’s mix of creativity, business, and culture makes it one of the most desirable work addresses in Chicago.
“We were honored to showcase one of our original spaces, Workbox – River North, during the GWA conference. This space is very special to us as it remains our first and only full-development location in the portfolio. It is also where we launched our events business, hosting large-scale events for our members and the local business community. Guest speakers have included Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Sports Owners (like Tom Ricketts of the Chicago Cubs), and countless other entrepreneurs, investors, and unicorn founders.”
John Wallace, Founder & CEO
