A one-person private office in Chicago starts at $249 a month and a two-person office at $498. Those are not estimates: Wezoo lists 90 private offices across 19 Chicago buildings sized for one or two people, and every one of them publishes a monthly price. 1-2 person office space Chicago is also the part of the market where the fewest buildings compete. Wezoo lists 35 private-office buildings in the city; 33 of them publish prices and sizes at all, and only 19 of those publish a room this small.
This guide is built from the live catalogue on Wezoo’s Chicago private-office pages, read on 8 September 2026. It names every building, prints what each one asks for a one-person and a two-person office, how much floor area that money buys, and when the rooms are listed as free. For the wider product, start with our complete guide to private office space; for the next size up, we have written 6 person office space Chicago separately.
Three things decide this purchase, and only one of them is price. The second is whether the building sells your size at all. The third is when the room is free.

Those seven lines are the whole of this size band in the Wezoo catalogue, and the rest of this guide is what sits behind them.
What does 1-2 person office space Chicago cost?
A one-person office runs $249 to $600 a month, median $299. A two-person office runs $498 to $1,071, median $610. Every figure is the price of the office, not of a seat in it, and none of them includes tax — the listing publishes a monthly amount and no fee or tax line beside it, so treat the number as the floor of your bill rather than the whole of it.
The spread does not lie along the map in the way you would expect, and this catalogue cannot tell you whether it ever does: 16 of the 19 buildings sit within 3.4 miles of each other in and around the Loop, so there is barely any distance in the sample to test. What it can show is two pairs. The lowest published one-person price, $249 at Jefferson Park on the far northwest side — 4 rooms there carry it — is six dollars a month under the second cheapest, $255 at 203 North LaSalle on LaSalle Street. And Spaces State Street and 5113 South Harper Avenue both ask $305 for one person, 5.9 miles apart. If you want the neighborhood picture instead, we set that out in how much a private office costs in Chicago.
The most expensive office in the band sits at the other end of the same short list: $1,071 for two people at The Yard: Fulton Market. That is 2.15 times the cheapest two-person office in Chicago — and it is one of only two listings in the band whose floor area the catalogue does not publish, so what the extra buys is a question for the operator.
Which Chicago buildings rent an office this small?
19 of the 33 that publish anything. That number decides your shortlist before any price does: the other 14 priced buildings open their published range at three people or more, so a solo consultant sorting the whole city by price will spend an afternoon on rooms they cannot rent.
| Operator | Chicago buildings priced on Wezoo | Selling a 1- or 2-person office | Of those, listing a 1-person room | Smallest size published |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regus | 15 | 13 | 8 | 1, 2 or 3 people, depending on the building |
| WeWork | 8 | 0 | 0 | 3 people, at all 8 |
| Expansive | 4 | 0 | 0 | 5, 7, 9 or 13 people, depending on the building |
| Spaces | 4 | 4 | 3 | 1 or 2 people, depending on the building |
| Signature | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 person |
| The Yard | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 person |
| All operators | 33 | 19 | 13 | — |
Four operators sell 1-2 person office space Chicago: Regus, Spaces, Signature and The Yard. Between them they hold every one of the 19 buildings in this band. A further 2 Chicago buildings appear on Wezoo with no published size or price at all, so they are absent from every count on this page.
Within the 19, one more split matters. 13 publish a genuine one-person room. At the other 6, the smallest published room is priced for two. So the Chicago floor for a single occupant is $249, but it is reachable at 13 addresses rather than 19.
Two figures for background, and neither is evidence about this size band. The Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational survey for the Chicago metro (May 2025 data, published July 2026) puts management at 9.0 percent of local employment against 7.2 percent nationally, and financial managers at 1.70 times the national rate. New business applications are counted monthly by the Census Bureau’s Business Formation Statistics, nationally rather than by metro.
Does a second desk cost less per person?
No, and the reason is a pricing convention rather than a judgement about your business. At 18 of the 19 buildings in this band, every published starting price is one seat rate multiplied by the stated occupancy, exact to the cent — and it holds across every size those buildings publish, not only across one and two. Some of them publish seventeen different sizes over forty-four listings and never break the pattern once.
Once you know that, the two-person price follows by multiplication rather than by negotiation. At the 12 of 13 both-size buildings that use the convention, two people cost exactly twice one person, because that is what the arithmetic does. The table below is there so you can read the seat rate off it, not because the ratio is a discovery.

| The Yard: Fulton Market | $600 | $1,071 | $471 | 1.7850× |
The other six. Five multiply; the sixth does not.
The Yard: Fulton Market is the one building in the band that prices each size on its own. $600 for one becomes $1,071 for two — a second desk at $471 instead of a second $600, or 1.7850 times rather than two. It is also the most expensive building in the band. 12 other Chicago buildings price size by size as well, but every one of them opens its published range at three people or more, so that curve is out of reach at this size.
The practical reading: there is no two-for-one to negotiate for here. Look for the building whose seat rate is low in the first place. The same question comes out differently in 2 person office space New York, where more of the buildings drop the rate at the second desk.
How much room does the second desk buy?
Wezoo publishes a floor area for 88 of the 90 offices in this band. Across the 20 one-person offices that publish one, rooms run 43 to 75 square feet, median 65. Across the 68 two-person offices, 65 to 108, median 86. Two different sets of listings, so read them as two distributions rather than as one room growing.
The comparison that is actually about one room growing is inside a single building, and it is where the money question lives. 12 buildings publish both a one-person and a two-person office with a floor area attached to each. At 3 of them the smallest two-person room is the same published size as the one-person room — 65 square feet at all three — for exactly twice the money:
| Building | One person | Two people | Smallest room at each size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 110 North Wacker Drive | $519 | $1,038 | 65 sq ft and 65 sq ft |
| 1200 North Ashland Avenue | $349 | $698 | 65 sq ft and 65 sq ft |
| 5113 South Harper Avenue | $305 | $610 | 65 sq ft and 65 sq ft |
At those three 1-2 person office space Chicago addresses the price doubles for the occupancy label, not for the room.
At the other end of the same 12 sits John Hancock Center, the only building in the band where a two-person room reaches twice the area of the one-person room: 43 square feet for $415, against 75 · 86 · 97 square feet for $830. Between those two cases the second desk buys anything from nothing to more than a second room, and the price step is identical either way. That is the single most useful thing on this page: the doubling is fixed, the room is not, so the floor area is where the value is won or lost.
One number worth having before you tour anything. The median two-person office in Chicago is 86 square feet, which is 43 square feet each — the same floor area as the smallest one-person room published in the city. 22 of the 68 two-person rooms give each occupant less than that. The stated occupancy is a maximum the operator will allow; it is not a statement about how many permanent desks the room holds.
One price, several rooms
At a building that multiplies a seat rate, one price per size is arithmetic: it could not have come out any other way, and every one of the band’s 23 building-and-size combinations that holds more than one office sits at such a building. What that arithmetic hides is that those offices are often not the same room.
1918 N Mendell Street, offices for up to two people, $550 a month
6 offices, published floor areas 65 · 75 · 86 · 97 square feet, all at one price. Which of the six you are offered is not a price question and the catalogue will not decide it for you. Two people in 65 square feet and two people in 97 square feet are different working days for the same $550.
Two other building-and-size combinations in the band also hold six offices at a single price, so the depth is not unusual. What is worth your time is that the rooms behind one price differ in more than floor area, and the published size is the only one of those differences you can check before you ask. Everything else about the specific room — where it sits, what it looks out on, whether it is the one that is free — comes from the operator.
So ask which specific rooms are free at your size, and what the differences between them are. They cost the same. The catch is in the second half: move-in dates differ inside those same combinations, which is why the tables below put the date in the price cell rather than in a paragraph.
Every building selling 1-2 person office space Chicago, cheapest first
Sorted on the two-person price, because every one of the 19 buildings publishes one and only 13 publish a one-person room. Each price cell also carries the published floor area, how many rooms sit at that price, and when they are listed as free. A room marked undated has no published start date, so the listing does not hold it to a future date; a published date means that room is spoken for until then. ZIP codes are printed so you can place each building yourself. Prices are per office per month, before tax.

The three most expensive. That is every building selling 1-2 person office space Chicago on Wezoo, as read on 8 September 2026.
Six buildings worth a request
Six of the 19, chosen to span 1-2 person office space Chicago rather than to rank it: the cheapest, the cheapest downtown, the deepest choice of room at one price, a central floor, a landmark address, and the one building that prices the second desk differently. The other thirteen are in the tables above, each one linked to its own request page.
1. Jefferson Park — 4849 N Milwaukee Ave., Chicago
What to expect: A brick facade with dark tinted glazing above a row of ground-floor storefronts, photographed from the sidewalk under a clear sky. The lowest published one-person price in the catalogue at $249 a month, and the lowest two-person at $498. It is on the far northwest side, ZIP 60630. Note that the second cheapest building in the band is on LaSalle Street, six dollars a month above it, so the saving is not a reward for going out.
Published for this size: one person $249 per month, 65 · 75 sq ft, 3 of 4 with no start date published; two people $498 per month, 75 · 86 · 108 sq ft, no start date published. 10 offices in the band in total. The building listing flags near public transport, near a public parking lot, parking, breakout spaces, catering, a coffee and tea bar, a lounge and wheelchair access.
Operator: Regus · Address: 4849 N Milwaukee Ave., Chicago 60630

2. 203 North LaSalle — 203 North LaSalle Street, Chicago
What to expect: Two high-backed amber armchairs and a small white side table under a framed abstract print, with a glass partition on the right. Six dollars a month more than the cheapest building in the catalogue, and it is in the Loop. $255 for one person and $510 for two, on LaSalle Street. If you had assumed a central address costs a premium in this size band, this is the listing that says otherwise.
Published for this size: one person $255 per month, 65 sq ft, no start date published; two people $510 per month, 86 sq ft, 1 of 2 with no start date published. 3 offices in the band in total. The building listing flags near public transport, parking, breakout spaces, catering, a coffee and tea bar, a lounge and a restaurant.

3. 1918 N Mendell Street — 1918 N. Mendell Street, Chicago
What to expect: A glazed door set in yellow brick under a covered walkway with green railings and a ramp, a bare tree in front of it and snow on the ground. Six two-person offices at one price, $550, with published floor areas of 65 · 75 · 86 · 97 square feet. The price will not tell you which one you are being offered, so make the room the question rather than the rate.
Published for this size: no one-person office listed; two people $550 per month, 65 · 75 · 86 · 97 sq ft, 3 of 6 with no start date published. 6 offices in the band in total. The building listing flags near public transport, near a public parking lot, parking, bike storage, breakout spaces, catering and wheelchair access.

4. Spaces State Street — 1 N State St, Chicago
What to expect: A pale sectional sofa and a round white table on a patterned rug, cafe tables with orange chairs, and a long counter under white pendant lamps. 1 N State St, ZIP 60602, about as central as Chicago gets. $305 for one and $610 for two, and the building publishes a size ladder of 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 people — useful if you expect to outgrow two.
Published for this size: one person $305 per month, 54 sq ft, 1 of 2 with no start date published; two people $610 per month, 75 · 86 · 97 sq ft, 2 of 3 with no start date published. 5 offices in the band in total. The building listing flags near public transport, near a public parking lot, breakout spaces and catering.

5. John Hancock Center — 875 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago
What to expect: A long white table with grey chairs beside a high-top table and stools, a kitchen run with a refrigerator, and a wall-mounted screen. 875 North Michigan. $415 buys the smallest published one-person room in the band, 43 square feet, and the listing prints that figure rather than leaving you to find out. Its two-person offices, at $830, run 75 · 86 · 97 square feet.
Published for this size: one person $415 per month, 43 sq ft, 1 of 2 with no start date published; two people $830 per month, 75 · 86 · 97 sq ft, 3 of 4 with no start date published. 6 offices in the band in total.

6. The Yard: Fulton Market — 1101 West Lake Street, Chicago
What to expect: Exposed brick and a timber-beamed ceiling over a leather Chesterfield, two tan wingback chairs and a round marble-topped table on a striped rug. The most expensive building in the band and the only one that does not multiply a seat rate. $600 for one, $1,071 for two — the second desk costs $471, not another $600. It is also the only building in the band that publishes no floor area for either size.
Published for this size: one person $600 per month, not published sq ft, no start date published; two people $1,071 per month, not published sq ft, no start date published. 2 offices in the band in total. The building listing flags breakout spaces, a coffee and tea bar, a lounge and a reception service.

One thing the catalogue does not carry for any of the 19 buildings: anything about storage, locks, or access outside working hours. If you need a lockable cabinet for files, or the room after six, put it in the first message rather than assuming it — the listing will not answer it either way.
When is 1-2 person office space Chicago the right call?
When you want a room of your own rather than a seat, and you want it for one or two people. That is the whole case, and the band starts at $249 a month for the room. This guide prices private offices only; it does not price hot desks or coworking memberships, which are a different product on a different rate card.
It is the wrong call if you are three people today, and the catalogue rewards you for admitting it. 29 of the 33 priced Chicago buildings publish a three-person office against 19 at one or two — half again as much choice for one more seat, including all eight WeWork buildings, which publish the same five-rung ladder as each other and start at three. Six-person office space in Chicago goes further up the same ladder.
It is also the wrong call if what you want is a mailing address rather than a room. And if you are weighing the wider small-office market in the city rather than this specific size, our guide to private small office space for rent Chicago covers the neighborhoods around the 1-2 person office space Chicago buildings listed here.
How far in advance should you book?
The catalogue will not give you a lead time, but it will tell you which rooms are spoken for. Of the 90 offices in the band, 56 publish no start date at all, 32 publish a date still in the future, and 2 publish a date that has already passed. A future date is the signal worth acting on: it means that specific room is not free yet. The tables above carry that date per building and per size, which is the only form in which it is any use to someone with a moving date.
Read a missing date as missing information, not as a vacancy: 18 of the 19 buildings have at least one two-person room with no published start date, and that tells you the listing is not holding it to a future date — nothing more. Because one price usually covers several rooms, the question to send an operator is not what it costs but which of those rooms you can have, and when. 88 of the 90 listings publish a one-month minimum term, and one month is the only value that field ever takes in this catalogue — so it is a standing convention rather than an offer, and the terms you are actually quoted come with the operator’s reply.
If you are weighing the West Loop and Fulton Market end of this band specifically, office space West Loop goes into that submarket in more detail.

1-2 Person Office Space Chicago: frequently asked questions
How much does 1-2 person office space Chicago cost?
Across the 90 private offices Wezoo lists in Chicago for one or two people, a one-person office runs $249 to $600 a month and a two-person office $498 to $1,071. The medians are $299 and $610. Every one of those figures is the monthly price of the whole office, before tax, as published in the listing — not a per-desk rate, and not a quote.
Which Chicago building has the cheapest one-person private office?
Of the private offices Wezoo lists in Chicago, the lowest published one-person price is $249 a month at Jefferson Park, a Regus building at 4849 N Milwaukee Ave.. No other building matches it, and 4 separate rooms there carry that price. It sits 8.8 miles northwest of 203 North LaSalle in the Loop — which is the second cheapest, at $255. Across 1-2 person office space Chicago, going further out does not reliably buy a lower price.
Is a two-person office cheaper per person than a one-person office in Chicago?
Almost never. Of the 13 Chicago buildings Wezoo lists with both sizes, 12 price the two-person office at exactly twice the one-person office, so the rate per person does not move. The single exception is The Yard: Fulton Market, where $600 becomes $1,071 — a second desk for $471 rather than a second $600.
How big is a one- or two-person private office in Chicago?
Wezoo publishes a floor area for 88 of the 90 1-2 person office space Chicago listings. One-person offices run 43 to 75 square feet, median 65. Two-person offices run 65 to 108 square feet, median 86. The stated occupancy is a maximum the operator will allow; it is not a statement about how many permanent desks the room holds.
Can I rent 1-2 person office space Chicago month to month?
88 of the 90 one- and two-person offices Wezoo lists in Chicago publish a minimum term of one month, and the remaining 2 publish no term at all. One month is the only value this field ever takes anywhere in the Chicago catalogue, so read it as the listing’s standing convention rather than as an offer. What you are actually quoted is a matter for the operator.
How many buildings in Chicago rent a private office this small?
Wezoo lists 35 private-office buildings in Chicago. 33 of them publish prices and sizes; the other 2 publish neither, so nothing is known about what they offer. Of the 33 that do publish, 19 list an office for one or two people and 14 start at three people or more. The four operators selling 1-2 person office space Chicago are Regus, Spaces, Signature and The Yard.
