There are a few major trends going on right now that are impacting where and when people work and how they utilize their office space.  First, companies are seeking ways to cut costs.  In doing so, it’s critically important that they identify ways to ensure productivity and image remains in tact.  Second, the workforce is becoming more distributed.  This powerful segment needs to be supported whenever and wherever their work gets done.  The local coffee shop, hotel lobby, home office or camping out a client’s space isn’t cutting it.

OfficeLinks not only understands, we also have a solution – CoWorking offices.  This product enables companies to slash office space fees while maintaining a professional front face.  The product supports workers with a workplace environment, enterprise-grade technology infrastructure and business support staff that stimulates the mind and inspires great work.

OfficeLinks is launching CoWorking at our Willis Tower (Chicago )and 40 Wall Street locations.  Clients will enter into the best buildings in the city, take the elevator up to the 84th and 28th floors respectively, be greeted by a welcoming receptionist and guided into their own Co-Working office.  The office is open plan and encourages interaction while privacy is ensured through locked desks and secure phones.  Clients will have access to the OfficeLinks Java Lounge where they can enjoy freshly brewed gourmet coffee, Tazo teas, filtered water and connectivity via iMacs.  In addition, they may also access boardroom style meeting rooms and videoconference studios on a pay–for-use basis.  

As an OfficeLinks team member, I have always been impressed with our company’s foresight and leading-edge products and services.  However, our latest offering takes the cake.  In fact, we’re launching Co-Working at OfficeLinks New York and Chicago with a FREE test drive.  Anyone interested in test-driving our new product may try it for FREE on Fridays starting August 28, 2009. Each week, we’ll have 10 desks available on a first come first serve basis. So, give us a call to make a reservation 646-512-5700.

We’re launching this product due to strong customer demand.  I’m thrilled that we’re the first in our industry to respond to the demand and to deliver an office product that really makes sense in today’s business climate. Just think—your isolated home office… a coffee shop… a hotel lobby… or a premiere office location featuring brilliant views, modern workstations, high-speed WiFi, free refreshments, and other business people.  Sounds to me like a no brainer!

Sears Tower - Willis Tower

It’s time for Chicagoans to bid farewell to the Sears Tower’s and welcome the newly named “Willis Tower”. The verdict is still out on how the new name will be used day to day. But other than a name change, not much will be different on the outside. But on the inside, there are some notable additions to this 110-story landmark office building.

On Floor 103: You can stand out on top of Chicago – literally! Visitors will be able to step out to one of four glass-floored balconies jutting 4 feet out from the building’s 103rd floor Skydeck and take in a complete view of Chicago from up above. In case you are wondering, that’s some 1,353 foot view down through the strong half-inch thick glass that can hold up to five tons of weight. Maybe it’s best to take in the sights before lunch!

On Floor 84: Work from the office of the future. OfficeLinks boasts top notch attention to detail throughout it’s 30,000 square feet, with 100 offices, 241 workstations and a High Definition videoconferencing studio. Like all OfficeLinks facilities, the Sears Tower location offers tenants a staffed reception area, secretarial and administrative services, multiple conference rooms, pantry & break-out areas, ergonomically superior lighting and furniture, wireless connectivity, and gigabit speed network access in a “green” office environment.
