48 office spaces for rent in Surry Hills

As at November 2026 the median private office in Surry Hills is $878 per desk per month, about 12% under the $728 New South Wales median and around 30% under the Sydney CBD a ten minute walk away. The rate is all-in on a monthly agreement: rent, outgoings, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception. The stock is converted warehouses and terraces rather than towers, so offices top out at about fifty people and the smallest suites are plentiful.

For a small creative, tech or agency team, usually yes. The saving against the CBD's $897 a desk is around 30%, the walk to Central station is five to ten minutes, and the cafes and the character of the buildings are the reason many teams want to be here in the first place. What Surry Hills does not offer is scale: no floor here holds more than about fifty people, and there are no managed offices, so a team that expects to pass that size within a year is better off looking at the southern CBD or Alexandria.

It has the highest share of coworking of any office area in Australia: 13 of its listings are shared floors rather than private offices. For a founder or a team of two or three it is the natural first office in Sydney. Shared office space and coworking desks are listed on the Surry Hills coworking page.

The monthly fee normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, a reception where the building has one, and shared kitchens and breakout space, with meeting rooms up to a monthly allowance. Across the offices listed in New South Wales, 93% are air conditioned, 92% come furnished, 88% offer 24 hour access and 77% include meeting rooms, but Surry Hills' warehouse conversions are the exception to the reception figure: many run unstaffed with code access. Parking is scarce and street parking is metered. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, IT support and the deposit, typically one to two months.

Days for a coworking desk, a week or two for a private office, since the rooms are already furnished and wired. The constraint here is not speed but availability: the area holds 48 flexible listings and the good small suites go quickly, so if you want a particular building or a corner with light, say so early.
