The rate is all-in on a monthly agreement: rent, outgoings, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception.

Yes, of the inner suburbs we can measure. What it gives up is size: offices here top out at about eighteen people, so a team growing past that moves to Collingwood or the grid. For a founder or a small practice near the university and the hospitals, it is the best value in inner Melbourne.

The monthly fee normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security and shared kitchens, with meeting rooms up to a monthly allowance.
