Office space in South Melbourne: your questions answered
How much does office space cost in South Melbourne?
As at September 2026 the median private office in South Melbourne is $750 per desk per month, about 15% above the $650 Victorian median and a little above the Melbourne CBD at $700. The rate is all-in on a monthly agreement: rent, outgoings, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception. The premium over the grid buys converted warehouses and small self-contained suites on Clarendon Street and around the market, in the most searched suburb outside the CBD.
Why does South Melbourne cost more than the CBD?
Because the offices are small and characterful, and small suites always price higher per desk. South Melbourne's listings run from two to about twenty-four people, mostly in converted warehouses and shopfronts, and every one of them is a private office: there are no coworking floors here to pull the average down. Teams choose it for the building and the neighbourhood rather than to save money. If the rate matters more than the character, Southbank next door matches the CBD at $700 in towers with parking, and Carlton at $600 is the cheapest character suburb within a tram ride of the grid.
What is included in a South Melbourne serviced office?
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; 47% offer private parking and South Melbourne's warehouse buildings are well represented, which is one of its draws over the grid. Many of the smaller buildings run without a staffed reception, using code access instead. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, IT support and the deposit, typically one to two months.
How quickly can I move into a South Melbourne office?
A week or two, since the suites are already furnished and wired and only the agreement and the deposit stand in the way. The constraint is availability rather than speed: with around two dozen listings and no large floors, the right suite for a team of ten to twenty may not be free in the week you want it, and the good ones go quickly. Say early what you need and we will tell you what is genuinely available and shortlist Southbank and the grid alongside it. There is no charge to you.
