Office Capacity by Office Size
When it comes to availability, 85% of all available offices and 58% of available space is set aside for small teams of up to ten people. This is great for small businesses or startups who prioritise flexibility and features over a long term lease but unlike other major cities, there are no options available for teams larger than 50.
Desk Rates by Space Type
Looking closely at pricing, specifically for space from coworking operators versus more traditional businesses, you'll find a median price of $360 per person for a single desk in a coworking facility compared to $680 for a desk in a traditional business. When it comes to private offices the desk rate at a coworking operator is just a shave above a traditional business at $540. When you consider that flex space from a coworking operator provides an attractive proposition with extra amenities included - think break rooms, reception support, shared kitchens and even bike storage or shower facilities, you get a lot more for your budget.
Desk Rates by Operator
Though price is not always the best option to compare coworking operators, as quality and amenities varies across operators and locations, you'll find median prices starting as low as $400 at Haven Workspaces and $500 per desk at Wotso to $600 at Jaga Workspaces and $832 at Work Club.
Median Price of Office Space by Suburb in Canberra
For companies looking for a further discount on rates, suburbs outside the CBD such as Symonston, Phillip, Dickson and Fyshwick have a range of smaller offices for teams of 10 or fewer people available for a median rate of $500 or less per desk.
