Current price ranges

Let’s start with the numbers we can stand behind. At O’Hare Offices’ 1111 E. Touhy Avenue building, 450,000 SF on a 28-acre campus by Lake Opeka, office space is currently listed from $21.50 to $23.50 per square foot per year. For context, the Des Plaines submarket average sits around $29.64/SF/YR, which puts well-located, amenity-rich space here meaningfully below the area norm. Those figures are base rent ranges; your all-in number depends on suite size, floor, level of customization, and lease structure. A compact suite at 999 or 1011 E. Touhy Avenue will price differently than a large configured floor at 1111, which is why the next section matters more than any single number.

What drives the cost

Five factors move office pricing in Des Plaines more than anything else: 1) Location within the submarket. Proximity to O’Hare, I-90 access, and corridor visibility command premiums: you’re paying for the logistics your business runs on. 2) Building class and condition. Newer or recently improved buildings with real amenity packages price above commodity space, and usually justify it in hiring and retention. 3) Suite size and layout. Larger contiguous space often prices more efficiently per foot; heavy customization (demising walls, specialized finishes) adds to the build-out side. 4) Lease term. Longer commitments typically unlock better effective rates; shorter or more flexible structures trade some rate for optionality. 5) What’s bundled. A lower headline rent with no amenities, no parking, and triple-net surprises can cost more all-in than a higher rent that includes the package. Always compare total occupancy cost, not just the rent line.

What’s included at O’Hare Offices

When you compare quotes, make sure you’re comparing complete pictures. Leasing here includes access to the campus amenity set: fitness center with showers and lockers, on-site dining, reservable meeting rooms, EV charging stations, and regular networking events, plus 427 parking spaces at the 1111 campus and the Lake Opeka walking trails. Suites are fully customizable, and lease terms are structured flexibly rather than forced into a template. Ask any competing quote what it includes beyond four walls, and the comparison gets much clearer.
