Office space in Sydney

Rubberdesk lists 149 offices and desks for rent in the Sydney CBD and 1,166 across New South Wales, from a single desk to whole floors for over 140 people. As of September 2026, the median private office in the CBD costs $858 per desk per month, against $750 across the state, with 2,059 desks in the CBD alone. Sydney is the dearest office market in Australia, and the gap between the CBD and the suburbs a train stop away is the biggest lever on the budget.

What a desk costs by area and office size

Rates move with the size of office as well as the area, and not always the way people expect: a small suite in the CBD often costs less per desk than a whole floor in a fringe suburb.

Getting to work in Sydney

Pick the line most of your team already uses, then the area. Wynyard, Martin Place and Town Hall stations put you inside the CBD core, with Circular Quay and Barangaroo at the harbour end. Central is the interchange for the whole suburban network and the walk-in point for Surry Hills and Chippendale. The Metro North West and City line links Norwest, Macquarie Park, Crows Nest and Barangaroo on one train, which makes those four the strongest choice for a team spread across the north and the Hills. North Sydney and St Leonards sit on the North Shore line one and three stops over the Harbour Bridge. Parramatta is the fast-train hub for the west and the natural base for a team that mostly lives out that way.

Parking in the CBD is expensive and most buildings offer none, so plan around trains and the light rail. Across New South Wales, 32% of listed offices offer private parking; it is the fringe and suburban buildings that do.

Coworking and hot desks in Sydney

Rubberdesk lists 74 coworking listings across Sydney, at a median of $466 per desk per month. A dedicated desk gives you a fixed spot in an open floor with the same reception, kitchens and meeting rooms as the private offices around it; a hot desk is the cheaper, turn-up-and-sit version. Shared office space and coworking desks in Sydney are listed on the Sydney coworking page.

Serviced offices in Sydney: what is included

Almost everything listed for rent or lease in Sydney is serviced or managed space, so the monthly figure is close to all-in. A serviced office is let on a single monthly agreement that normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, a staffed reception and shared kitchens. 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, so those are safe to assume rather than negotiate. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, whether IT support is extra, and the security deposit, which is typically one to two months.

Managed offices, a whole floor fitted to your brief on a two or three year term and priced per floor rather than per desk, make up a growing share of the Sydney listings and suit teams of twenty upwards. The operators with the most listings in Sydney on Rubberdesk are WeWork, The Executive Centre, Corporate Cubes, Servcorp and Hub Australia.
