Regus operates thousands of locations worldwide, which is genuinely useful if your business needs an address in twelve cities.

If your business is in Chicago, the trade you are making is worth understanding.

The agreement is where the cost lives

The most common complaint about large workspace operators is not the headline rate. It is what surfaces afterwards: annual escalators written into multi-year terms, per-item mail handling charges, service fees added at renewal, and pricing that only appears after a sales conversation.

None of that is hidden or improper — it is in the agreement. But it means the number you were quoted in month one is frequently not the number you pay in month eighteen.

Read your agreement for three things specifically: the term length, the escalator clause, and how mail handling is billed. Those three lines account for most of the difference between the quoted price and the real one.

How we do it

Published pricing. Business Mailbox Pro $25/mo ($20 annually, $50 setup). Virtual Office Pro $75/mo ($67 annually, $95 setup). Private offices from $595/mo. Meeting rooms $125/hr. Registered agent $78/yr. It is all on the pricing page without a form.

Mail included, not metered. Your plan includes mail items and scans. Forwarding is $5 plus postage. On-demand pickup is free.

Short commitments. The mailbox is month-to-month with no lease. The virtual office has a six-month minimum. Private offices are a 12-month lease with a 60-day opt-out.

One building, one team. We are at 1655 S Blue Island Ave in Pilsen and we have been since 2015. When something goes wrong you call us, not a national support queue.

Where Regus wins

A multi-city footprint, international coverage, and airport-adjacent locations. If you need an address in Denver and Dallas as well as Chicago, a global network does something a single Pilsen building cannot.

Who we are actually built for

Businesses rooted on the South and West Sides of Chicago that need a credible address without downtown overhead. Free parking on site. Ten minutes to the Loop and straight onto I-90/94.
