The 3 PM reset.
You know that point in the afternoon when you’ve been staring at the same screen, sitting in the same spot, and your brain is officially asking for a change of scenery? At HUB116, sometimes the answer is as simple as taking the laptop upstairs and working from the balcony for a while. Fresh air. A little sunshine. River North buzzing below. And somehow, the same inbox feels a whole lot more manageable. We talk a lot about what makes a great workplace, but sometimes it’s the l

On Wednesdays, the Adler Planetarium stays open until 10:00 p.m.
One of the best parts of working in Chicago is how easily the workday can turn into something a little more memorable.

From the Doane Observatory and its incredible telescope views to dome shows like The Universe Explained and Worlds Beyond Earth, plus the Other Worlds exhibit, it is a fun way to end the day on a completely different note.

There’s a noticeably better energy around office space right now.

There’s just something better about starting the workday outside. ☀️☕💻
One of the little perks at HUB116 is being able to take your morning coffee, laptop, and to-do list out to the deck and ease into the day with fresh air and a River North view. It’s a simple thing, but having spaces where you can step away from your desk, reset, and work a little differently can make a big impact on the overall office experience. Morning meetings, solo work time, or just a quiet moment before the day gets busy… the deck is definitely one of our favorite spots

One of the things we appreciate most at HUB116 is that every workspace opportunity looks a little different.
This private window office for two is a great example of how thoughtful, smaller-scale space can still offer a comfortable and polished work environment in the heart of River North.

And beyond the office itself, being part of HUB116 means access to shared amenities, conference room space, and a building experience designed to support both focus and flexibility. It’s one more e

A good office should still feel good at 2:00 PM.
Not just at the start of the day, and not just in photos - but in the middle of meetings, deadlines, coffee refills, and everything in between. That is when the right space really proves itself. At HUB116, we believe the best workplaces are the ones that support the full rhythm of the day.

More conversations. More movement. More companies taking a fresh look at what kind of environment will best support their teams moving forward. And that feels exciting.

Summer is a smart time to rethink office space.
It is often one of the few points in the year when companies have enough perspective to step back and ask what is really working for their team. By midyear, it becomes clearer where more flexibility is needed, where collaboration feels strongest, and what kind of environment actually supports productivity and growth. That is why this season can be such a valuable time to reevaluate space needs. Whether it is layout, amenities, location, or the overall workplace experience, th

The reinvention of River North
