How much does a 5 person office cost in Melbourne?

A 5 person serviced office in Melbourne costs about $3,890 per month all-inclusive, a median of $778 per desk per month across 92 priced offices sized 5-10 desks currently listed on Sidespace.

A five-person office is the smallest size where a private, lockable room usually beats hot desks on both cost and sanity. In practice you are looking at 40 to 60 square metres: five desks, a little storage, and enough spare floor for a sixth person when you hire one. Almost every serviced operator holds stock at this size, which means the price you are quoted is negotiable more often than at any other headcount.

Sizing

What 5 people actually need

Five people is the size operators most want to fill, so it is also where the deepest discounts sit. Expect a month or two rent-free on a twelve-month term, and ask what happens when you grow, moving to a larger suite in the same building should not restart your term.

Allow 40 to 60 square metres, and budget $46,680 a year all-inclusive before any incentive negotiated on term. Best suited to early-stage startups, small professional practices, satellite teams for an interstate business.

Figures exclude POA listings and indicative guide pricing, so every rate above is one an operator published. Medians are drawn from offices sized 5-10 desks, the band a 5 person team sits in, and bands below three offices are never published.

Good to know

5 person offices in Melbourne, frequently asked

How much does a 5 person office cost in Melbourne?
A 5 person serviced office in Melbourne costs about $3,890 per month all-inclusive, based on a median of $778 per desk per month across 92 priced offices sized 5-10 desks currently listed with us. That figure covers rent, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and a meeting-room allowance in one payment.
How much space does a 5 person office need?
Allow 40 to 60 square metres for 5 people. The lower end assumes a straightforward desk layout; the upper end allows for a meeting room, storage and circulation space. Serviced offices are quoted per desk rather than per square metre, so the floor area matters mainly when you are comparing against a traditional lease.

Docklands is currently the most affordable Melbourne suburb for a team of 5, at a median $600 per desk per month, or about $3,000 a month for 5 people. The most expensive is South Yarra at $917 per desk. Figures update as stock moves.

Of the cities we hold priced stock in, Perth is currently the cheapest for 5 people at $3,750 a month, and Sydney the most expensive at $5,055. Melbourne sits at $3,890 a month.
