New to Office805! Went looking around Evanston for a new office location and immediately drawn to Office805 - the building, the design, the individual spaces large and small, the common areas and the small business in the office. No hesitation recommending Office805!
Welcoming, Comfortable, and InspiringOffice 805 is a co-working space at the south end of Evanstons CBD. On a tree-lined street at the confluence of restaurants/retail and residences. Walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, other business services, and the Dempster Street El station.Dan (owner/manager) is friendly, accommodating, and reasonable.Office 805 offers private offices & dedicated desks for individuals, and suites for larger teams.Office 805 is a great option for individuals and teams looking for office space in Evanstons CBD.
Great co-working office space - attractive aesthetics, clean, quiet, friendly community. I especially appreciate the responsiveness of the owner, Dan, and the care he takes to ensure a safe environment amid lingering Covid concerns. Highly recommend Office805.
We had a great experience at Office 805 with Dan and the gang. We did have a small, dedicated space, and we enjoyed the location, a neat mix of fellow tenants, and personalized service. Would recommend checking out the space whole-heartedly!
Great co-working space. The environment, the people, and everything about it is great! I highly recommend it. Dan, the owner, is very welcoming and accommodating!
I currently hold an office space at 805. Great co-op location for anyone looking to have a small office or even for a space for a daytime meeting. The place is spacious and clean and Dan the owner is always making sure we’re taken care of. Plus you have 24/7 access to your space. I highly recommend this place!
Due to Covid, we relocated to 805. The office is really comfortable, the space is tremendous, the other members are great and it has been a fantastic experience all the way. From potluck vegan chili lunches, to fresh juices- the community is alive and vibrant- even during the pandemic. Everyone is considerate about social distancing and masking. It beats working from home with the only social interaction via Zoom meetings or MS TEAMS. The space is much less than our previous rent- and unlike other collaborative work environments - there is no nickel and diming. It is a great experience and we hope to be here for years!
Awesome space led by an awesome leader with Dan. Truly you can not no wrong working with Office 805. Super clean, super updated, and an awesome environment!
I absolutely love this place. I studied for the bar exam here and it was perfect. I was able to focus on my studies because it was quiet. The kitchen is wonderful! The location of this space is perfect and there are many options for food around here if you want to grab something to eat or take a break for a stroll around the neighborhood. I am soooo glad to have found this place and it made my two months study period a blissful experience. Clean, quiet, beautiful space.Some of my favorite things here were the adjustable desks for standing or sitting, the massage chair, and the kind/supportive people here! Also, the manager, Christina, is so welcoming and a wonderful person to know!
I rent a suite in the building. The landlord, Dan Bleier, is the nicest gent and easy to work with. Hes extremely responsive. (Example: when golfball-sized hail punched through a skylight last summer, repairs were made the next day.) The facility is bright, clean, and well maintained. I highly recommend.
I love working at 818! After several years of hopping between co-working places and coffee shops, Im in love with my new office and community. Im not sure what I like more - the beautiful, well designed space with natural light. My dedicated desk with a fully adjustable deck for standing (private offices are available, too). The quality shredder. They paid attention to the important details that matter for running a productive business. Plus, there are amazing professionals, led by the owners and office manager, committed to helping each other and building a supportive community environment.
We recently used the conference room for an offsite team meeting. The space is beautiful and everyone made us feel very welcome. There were glasses and water in the room and we had access to coffee, coffee mugs, tea, and fridge in their beautiful kitchen. We were able to utilize the huge table in the kitchen to share lunch as a team and a few of us even snuck out into the outdoor space (such a surprise) during break out time If you are looking for a great space to collaborate and feel inspired, 818 Coworking is it! The aesthetics and hospitality are excellent!
818 is the best coworking space in Evanston. The decor and amenities are lovely, as are the events. The sit-stand desks and accompanying chairs are very comfortable to use. And Christina, the manager, is amazing -- friendly, accommodating, helpful. I love the free days and the hot desk deals as an occasional user of the space. I havent had a need for the conference rooms, but they look fabulous and are included in some memberships and affordable for day pass users.My only complaint -- which is not their fault -- is that parking in the area can be tricky, with time restrictions on most nearby spaces. (It is close to public transit and it is bike friendly, including lockers and a shower.) My only suggestion is to add a greater variety of monthly packages to the current lineup, at various points between 4 visits and unlimited.
Spent time working out of Dan’s space and found it to be everything I needed in a shared work space. If and when my circumstances require office space again in the future I will certainly call Dan!
I have been at 818 for three weeks now and my experience thus far has been INCREDIBLE. The space is smartly designed, the environment is cozy, the amenities are terrific, the team is welcoming and highly responsive (Christina, the manager, is a delight), and best of all, my productivity has been greatly increased. Breakfast on Fridays, meditation sessions, fast WiFi, great coffee and filtered water, the list goes on and on. I HIGHLY recommend this co-working space.
I love it here. Great atmosphere, desks move up so you have option to stand up and do work. , Nice kitchen with utensils. free coffee and snacks. Super friendly. Love it that they bring in guest speakers to give presentations to the entrepreneurs. Very helpful. Excellent advice. Also like the comp brkfasts on Fridays, comp lunch, snacks, and comp coffee. theyre open 24hrs too.
We finally found an office home! When looking for a coworking space, it was super critical for me to find one that emphasized community, had great neighbors & operators, and opened up opportunities beyond just being an office. Dan & Christina have been awesome PARTNERS from day 1. Theyve been super accommodating and are always open to finding creative ways to support me personally and my business. Ive enjoyed collaborating with them on many fronts well beyond my time working in 818 -- I look forward to continuing all the work we are doing in the entrepreneurial, Evanston, and small business communities.
I took advantage of the monthly free days as a way to check out the space. 818 has a very relaxing vibe and all of the modern office amenities. I explored the different areas to work including the outdoor seating space. It’s a great community of people. Loved the location too — it was right off the purple line. Highly recommend!
What an amazing space! Not only is this one is the most well designed coworking facilities I’ve ever been to, it happens to be filled with a dynamic group of people!The staff and owners have been extremely accommodating, hospitable and instrumental in making some key introductions as I’ve been building my book of business.If you support local business, you will be in good company! Not only is 818 built by local Evanstonians, it’s also managed by locals too which happens to be my favorite feature.
818 provides the perfect professional office and conference room space for client meetings. Upbeat atmosphere, extensive amenities and Christina, the community manager, make this an excellent co-working experience!
This is the a simple co-working space that has what you need. A desk, wi-fi and a printer. The manager is a good guy and the space options are good. Very reasonable pricing and great flexibility.
Im so lucky to have found this place! Yes the office and furniture are gorgeous, and the location is perfect, and the perks are great, and the price is awesome, and all of this has attracted some amazing members and staff to work with. But what I really like is...Im from the corporate world, now working on a new tech startup. 818 is a place where I can impress guests, avoid distractions and most of all be inspired and encouraged during a time that feels like something between arranged marriage and base-jumping. Trying not to oversell, but 818 is more helpful than I could have imagined. You know they’ve done right when you’re grateful to them for just being here!Like me, 818 over-delivers and undercharges. Lets just keep that a secret, shall we? The people who put this together hired architects and interior designers to give the space a soul. That was a key factor missing from other co-working spaces that felt more like lunchrooms or hamster cages against 818’s stylish décor and cozy hangouts. The interiors are gorgeous and they didnt skimp on the top notch equipment and internet. The office chairs are ergonomic and the high-end desks are motorized to rise to standing height; I can go from author to war planner with the push of a button. Its really impressive.818 is brand new. I know the neighborhood, so I wasn’t put off when Google street view still showed the old carpet building that once stood here. It’s prime real estate, so the carpet building didn’t last. Somehow, Evanston has condensed culture, food and smart people into an area that can be traversed by foot in a few minutes, and 818 found its home right in the middle of that. 818 is within 3 blocks of some great restaurants, shopping, coffee and just beautiful venues.If you’re thinking about office space, I highly recommend checking out 818 Coworking at 818 Lake street. It’s really amazing how much the right space and good people can make things go smoothly and make you feel like a total success. I’m really proud to be here.
Ive been with Office805 on and off even before when it was Office818. I love the space, enjoy the members of the community, and am thankful for the management. Ill probably be working out of this space for as long as I can.
Ive been working from 818 for about a month now, and the space is absolutely awesome. The community theyre building here is even better. Ive been able to be both more productive and more creative by virtue of the great space and the great people Im surrounded by. Definitely worth checking out if youre in the Evanston or Rogers Park areas (easy el access).
This place is great. Having worked from home for nearly 20 years, its been great to find a comfortable work environment that is out of the house, but still homey. The people working at 818 are a very interesting mix of background and business, and willing to collaborate.
Great space on a quiet street. A really nice and convenient option!
Great place to work with extremely nice managers and co-workers. Team lunches are what I live for!
818 is well-run, welcoming and really has everything I’ve needed and then some. Highly recommend!
Beautiful space and very comfortable. Super friendly. I always visit when Im in town!
Great coworking space.
Amazing and comfortable space with a great atmosphere conducive for productivity. Highly recommended!
I love this place as a remote work spot. Clean, quiet, and great location.
Great place to work and LOVE the furniture!
The operations manager is the best Ive ever come across

2022-01-19What a wonderful place to have an office. I love my space. The neighbors are a friendly, diverse, and interesting bunch. Owner is personable and very responsive -- really willing to help. I like that there are community events (pandemic permitting) where we can be social with our office mates. Great location too -- 5 min walk to the center of downtown Evanston, and around the corner from the Purple line.

2022-05-21What a great and convenient change from working at home the past two+ years. I live near by, the location cannot be beat, Dan is awesome, and the mix of tenants is great for business development and daily interaction with others. The availability of a free try out period was unexpected, as well as the sit/stand desks. Highly recommended.

2022-01-12Office 805 is a great coworking space. Its unique structure fits my needs as a professional in the creative field, unlike other working spaces around that have a mundane look of white walls and typical cubicle desks. Dan, the owner, is very accommodating and always aware of his tenants needs.

2022-01-25I just moved to Evanston from the West Coast and decided to try out co-working spaces cause I needed to get out of my house. I can not work in my house anymore!! The first one I tried was not a great fit, then I found 805. Everyone here is great and its located in a very cool space. It also feels very clean, safe and open during these Covid times. Dan the Owner is real good guy. I plan on staying for awhile.

2022-05-20805 is a great coworking space in a great location in Evanston. The spaces leader, Dan, is generous, helpful, and flexible, and goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests and day-to-day needs for the coworking space. Those coworking alongside me include lawyers, logistics claims personnel, website developers, brand and advertising specialists, beverage entrepreneurs, and many others, and having met most of us here, everyone has been friendly and caring. I am and feel like part of a community. The space is spacious, even drafty at times, but there are lots of semi-private and private conference rooms that increase the value for even people like me who otherwise usually uses a dedicated desk in the open space. Networking opportunities abound as well!
