"We're continuing to experience strong demand for our cost-effective workplace solutions - even in the tough environment in which we're operating," Jeff Doughman, Regus central region VP, says. "Given the economic uncertainty, we're finding that our clients are looking for flexibility and avoiding committing to long-term, risky office space leases. Our clients have long been requesting a center in the River North area so we're pleased to open our first location here."

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1987, the property is located along the Chicago River in the River North neighborhood. Major tenants include American Bar Association, Foley & Lardner, Mesirow Financial, and Howrey, Simon Arnold & White.

"Our new River North center is perfect for companies of all sizes including those nearby home-based businesses needing a more professional environment in which to work; law firms with its close proximity to the courthouse; or enterprise-level organizations that are seeking to set up satellite offices downtown," Doughman says.
