How to Read the Chicago Market
- The catch is the spread — the $289–$600 interquartile range is wide, because Loop Class A towers and neighborhood space price like different markets.
- The Loop premium is worth interrogating: the same team often saves 30% one neighborhood west.
- Per-desk pricing is all-in. Compare against a traditional lease’s total occupancy cost — rent plus buildout, furniture, internet, utilities, and staffing — not base rent alone.
