What is Creative Coworking?
Creative Coworking has previously had locations in Downtown Evanston and in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago, but has happily made itself at home at Colvin House in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. As a business incubator for creative professionals, startups, entrepreneurs and everyone in between you will find quiet, comfortable workspaces with a sense of community. From private offices and conference rooms to collaboration zones and public spaces, all members of Creative Coworking can find a place that best suits their work mode under one historic roof.
Built in 1909, Colvin House is a historic mansion on the lakefront that doubles as a private event venue. The daytime life of the house is coworking, then our evenings are available for weddings, corporate events, concerts and more — so there are opportunities to connect even after the workday ends!
We aim to provide a professional environment that best suits your work style and your business needs. Our space fosters creativity and productivity in a calm, comfortable environment. Once you're a member, you're part of our community.
