Sydney Flexible Office Price Guide
Compare prices for office space in Inner Sydney vs North Sydney vs South Sydney to find the best deals for your business.
With 28,285 sqm of flexible office space, Sydney leads the way in available flexible space for rent in Australia. While the slower economy has been largely responsible for adding new supply to the market over the past 2 years, the trend has started to reverse as demand has picked up and operators have found it more more challenging to open new centres. However, with continued inflationary pressure and uncertain times keeping many businesses from booking long term leases, we expect flex space inventory to grow over the long term as landlords look to offload unleased space.
Change in Sydney Flexible Office Floor Space
The increased demand and reduced supply over the past two quarters, of course, had an impact on prices with desk rates reaching a new high of $1,045 in February before settling to $938 per desk at the end of June; a 6% drop over Q1.

Sydney Office Space Summary
| Median Office Rate Per Person | Median Coworking Desk Rate Per Person | Flex Floorspace Available (sqm) | Available Desk Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| $955 | $600 | 28,285 | 5,241 |
As the primary business centre for many Australian head offices, the Sydney CBD also has some of the pricier rents before discounts. Typically, the median price per person for larger offices is higher since these roomier spaces are often fully enclosed, on a dedicated floor, and/or have their own amenities and meeting rooms included.
However, over the past year demand for smaller offices for teams of 5 to 25 people has outstripped demand for much larger offices pushing prices for these smaller offices up 5% over the past year. Larger offices for teams of 50 or more have a median rent of $800 per desk per month while offices for 16-25 staff have a median rent of $1,047 per desk.

There are plenty of other coworking spaces on the city fringes where you can quickly set up shop including North Sydney, St Leonards or North Strathfield, all of which represent real value. And for smaller businesses that need to be closer to the downtown core, Pyrmont, Chippendale, Paddington, and Bondi Junction all provide flexible office space a little more budget-friendly.
From the Northern Beaches to Sydney Inner and Outer West, and South Sydney to the Eastern Suburbs, Sydney has office space for rent in over 70 bustling suburbs to choose from, starting as low as $260 per person per month.
