5 office spaces for rent in Collingwood at The Commons

As at September 2026 the median private office in Collingwood is $638 per desk per month, level with the $650 Victorian median and under the Melbourne CBD at $620. The rate is all-in on a monthly agreement: rent, outgoings, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception. Collingwood's offices are the largest of the northern fringe, up to about sixty people, in the converted factories and new mid-rise buildings along Smith Street, Wellington Street and Gipps Street.

Against the CBD, yes, by around 7% a desk, with tram and train access that is nearly as good: Collingwood and Victoria Park stations are ten minutes from Flinders Street and the Smith Street tram runs into the city. Against Fitzroy next door at $600 it is a few dollars dearer, and against Carlton at around $600 more so. Where Collingwood wins is scale: it is the one northern suburb with floors for forty to sixty people, so a growing creative or tech team that has outgrown Fitzroy usually moves here rather than back to the grid.

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. Across the offices listed in Victoria, 94% come furnished, 90% are air conditioned, 85% include meeting rooms and 85% offer 24 hour access. Collingwood mixes unstaffed warehouse buildings with code access and newer buildings with a reception, so check which you are getting; parking is on the street or in the newer buildings as an extra. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, IT support and the deposit, typically one to two months.
