Greater Melbourne CBD Desk Rates by Space Type

Finally when it comes to an analysis of desk rates by coworking operator vs traditional businesses, coworking operators in Melbourne tend to have higher desk rates for a private office due to the additional amenities they provide yet these same operators charge less for a single coworking desk vs a shared desk in a traditional office. If your business doesn't need all the amenities of a fully serviced office, a shared space in a traditional space can be an attractive option in the short to medium term.
