Sydney

For businesses looking to move into Sydney, our specialist local consultant, Betty Chen, recommends the Sydney CBD, as it has the most options and is easily accessible by public transport.

Costs

One to two desk private serviced offices in sydney start from $1,000 per month. 

The ANZ market does not typically use workstation or desk rates to give guide prices. 

These prices will vary according to location and requirements, and cover the cost of amenities, which can include Internet, meeting rooms, lounges, kitchen facilities, reception services and AV equipment.

Office sizes

In general, private suites are favoured over coworking spaces in Sydney. 

However, Instant Offices offer a great variety of office types and sizes, and are able to accommodate most enquiries, from one person through to 100 or more depending on the specifics. 

Serviced office providers can be flexible with the layout of the workspace, and are happy to discuss partitioning to fit a particular business requirement.
