How Southbank rates have moved
Where the offices are
The serviced floors are in the towers along Southbank Boulevard, City Road and the St Kilda Road end, with the coworking concentrated near the arts precinct and Southbank Promenade. It is a tower market: the offices here are in newer buildings with larger floors than the CBD laneways, and the smallest suites are less common. Next door, South Melbourne at $750 has the converted warehouses and the small creative suites Southbank lacks.
Getting to Southbank
Flinders Street station is a five minute walk over the Evan Walker or Sandridge footbridges, which puts every suburban line within reach without changing trains. The St Kilda Road and Southbank Boulevard trams run through the precinct, and the free tram zone reaches its southern edge. Parking is the practical difference from the grid: the Southbank towers and the Crown precinct have far more of it, and Kings Way and the West Gate are at the door for a team driving in from the west or south-east.
Coworking and hot desks in Southbank
The precinct carries a small number of coworking floors and the rate for a dedicated desk is best confirmed on the current listings, since with so few the median moves week to week. Shared office space and coworking desks are listed on the Southbank coworking page, and the CBD's much larger coworking market is a footbridge away at around $550 a desk.
Serviced offices in Southbank: what is included
Almost everything listed in Southbank is serviced space, let per desk on a monthly agreement that normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, internet, furniture, cleaning, security, a staffed reception and shared kitchens. Across Victoria 94% of listed offices come furnished, 90% are air conditioned, 85% include meeting rooms and 85% offer 24 hour access; 47% offer private parking and Southbank's towers are well represented in that share. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, whether IT support is extra, and the security deposit, which is typically one to two months.

Office space in Southbank: your questions answered
How much does office space cost in Southbank?
The rate is all-in on a monthly agreement: rent, outgoings, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception. You pay the grid's rate for a tower with a river view, a footbridge from Flinders Street and, unlike the grid, a car park.
Is Southbank cheaper than the Melbourne CBD?
No, it is the same, and that is the point: the choice between them is about the building and the commute rather than the money. Where Southbank wins is parking and newer, larger floors; where the grid wins is the depth of choice, 21 listings against Southbank's 116, and the laneway character. If you want to pay less than either, Carlton at around $600 is the cheapest area within a tram ride; if you want to pay more for the newest towers, Docklands at $725 is next door.
What is included in a Southbank serviced office?
The monthly fee normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, a staffed reception, and shared kitchens and breakout space, 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. Southbank's towers are more likely than the grid's to include end-of-trip facilities and a car space, either included or as a monthly extra. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, IT support and the deposit, typically one to two months.
How quickly can I move into a Southbank office?
A week or two, since the suites are already furnished, wired and staffed. Southbank's offices run from one to about sixteen people, so a larger team is looking at a managed floor in one of the towers, four to twelve weeks to fit out, or at the grid across the river. Coworking here is a handful of floors and the rate moves week to week, so check the current desks rather than a median. Give us your date and headcount and we will shortlist Southbank and the CBD together. There is no charge to you.
