The village’s combination of prestigious image, excellent highway access, abundant parking, and affluent surroundings attracts corporate headquarters, regional offices, and professional services firms.

Class A space in Oakbrook Terrace towers and newer developments commands $25-32/SF. Class B office parks with good highway visibility run $18-25/SF. The market currently offers favorable tenant conditions with competitive concession packages.

Strategic Location: Oak Brook’s position at the intersection of I-88 (East-West Tollway) and I-294 (Tri-State Tollway) provides connectivity to the entire Chicago metropolitan region. O’Hare Airport is 25 minutes away. The adjacent Oakbrook Center mall, one of the Midwest’s premier shopping destinations, adds retail amenities for employees and creates a complete business environment.

Oak Brook Office Buildings

Western Suburbs’ Premier Business District

Oak Brook offers what urban locations cannot—ample parking, campus environments with landscaping and outdoor space, and the convenience-focused lifestyle that many businesses and employees prefer. Buildings range from mid-rise towers in Oakbrook Terrace to landscaped office parks offering a more traditional suburban corporate experience.

The area draws from DuPage County’s highly educated workforce. Median household incomes in surrounding communities exceed $100,000, and the concentration of corporate headquarters has created a talent pool experienced in corporate environments. For companies with employees living in the western suburbs, Oak Brook eliminates reverse commutes and parking challenges.

Medical office space serves the area’s substantial residential population, with several medical office buildings concentrated near Good Samaritan Hospital. Retail and restaurant space in and around Oakbrook Center benefits from the regional shopping destination’s significant traffic.

Oak Brook Questions Answered

How does Oak Brook compare to downtown Chicago for office space?
Oak Brook offers 40-50% savings versus comparable downtown Chicago space, abundant free parking, campus environments, and convenience for employees living in the western suburbs. Trade-offs include limited public transit (Metra BNSF line requires shuttle connection) and less urban energy. The choice depends on your workforce location, client meeting requirements, and company culture preferences.
Is Oak Brook primarily corporate or small business oriented?
Oak Brook accommodates both. While the market includes large corporate users, many buildings offer smaller suite configurations from 1,000 SF up. Professional services firms, regional sales offices, medical practices, and small to mid-size companies make up a significant portion of the tenant base. Flexible lease terms are often available for smaller tenants.
What retail and restaurant options exist for employees?
Oakbrook Center, one of the Midwest’s premier shopping malls, provides extensive retail and restaurant options within minutes. Additional restaurants along 22nd Street and in surrounding developments offer variety. The area’s restaurant scene, while different from urban neighborhoods, provides adequate options for business lunches and employee convenience.
