O’Hare OfficesOffices for Rent in Chicago’s O’Hare Area
Searching for offices for rent in Chicago covers a lot of ground, from Loop towers to neighborhood storefronts to the airport submarket. If your business runs on air travel, highway access, and room to operate, the smartest Chicago address might not be downtown at all. O’Hare Offices in Des Plaines, 18 miles northwest of the Loop, gives Chicago businesses an O’Hare-area base with space from $21.50 per square foot per year, against a Des Plaines submarket average around $29.64. That’s the core proposition: a Chicago office with airport-side logistics, genuine amenities, and economics that downtown simply can’t match.

Downtown access without downtown cost
Nobody is suggesting Des Plaines replaces a Loop headquarters for every company. But for a large share of Chicago businesses, including regional sales offices, professional services, healthcare administration, logistics and aviation-adjacent firms, the daily reality is client visits, airport runs, and highway commutes, not a view of the river. From O’Hare Offices, O’Hare International Airport is minutes away. I-90 puts downtown Chicago 18 miles down the expressway. Your team avoids the downtown commute, your clients park for free instead of paying garage rates, and your rent buys roughly a third more space than the submarket average would suggest. The O’Hare Offices campus — 450,000 SF on 28 acres by Lake Opeka, spanning 999, 1011 and 1111 E. Touhy Avenue — delivers a corporate-campus feel that a mid-rise floor plate can’t.
Who this suits
This page is for Chicago searchers weighing their options: companies priced out of downtown renewals, firms opening a Chicago-area presence that needs to be near the airport rather than the Loop, and suburban businesses that want a Chicago-market address with real infrastructure. Suites are fully customizable across all three buildings, and flexible lease terms mean the commitment fits the plan, from startups planting their first flag to enterprises running regional operations.
Amenities tie-in
The amenity story is part of the value case: fitness center with showers and lockers, on-site dining, bookable meeting rooms, EV charging stations, networking events, and Lake Opeka walking trails at the 1111 campus. It’s the package you’d expect from a premium downtown building, delivered at suburban economics.
