How much does a 20 person office cost in Sydney?

Sidespace's live listing data puts a 20 person serviced office in the Sydney CBD at about $13,500 per month all-inclusive, about $675 per desk (October 2026). That is the median of 9 real offices listed on Sidespace that fit 20 people.

Twenty people needs 160 to 240 square metres and changes the maths. At this size a traditional lease becomes genuinely competitive with flex for the first time, because the fit-out cost spreads across enough desks to pay for itself over a three-year term. Most twenty-person teams end up comparing a fitted commercial suite against a managed office, not against coworking.

Sizing

What 20 people actually need

Run both numbers before you commit. A serviced suite at twenty desks is one predictable monthly figure; a lease is a lower base rent plus fit-out, furniture, internet, cleaning and outgoings. Whichever way it lands, twenty desks is enough volume that operators will move on price.

Allow 160 to 240 square metres, and budget $162,000 a year all-inclusive before any incentive on term. Best suited to scaling companies, established agencies, regional headquarters, professional firms with client-facing space.

Figures exclude POA listings and indicative guide pricing, so every rate above is one an operator published. Medians are drawn from offices sized 11-20 desks, the band a 20 person team sits in, and bands below three offices are never published.

Good to know

20 person offices in Sydney, frequently asked

How much does a 20 person office cost in Sydney?
A 20 person serviced office in the Sydney CBD costs about $13,500 per month all-inclusive: the median of 9 real offices listed with us that fit 20 people, or about $675 per desk. That figure covers rent, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and a meeting-room allowance in one payment.
How much space does a 20 person office need?
Allow 160 to 240 square metres for 20 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.

North Sydney is currently the most affordable Sydney suburb for a team of 20, at a median $642 per desk per month, or about $12,840 a month for 20 people. The most expensive is Darlinghurst at $1,181 per desk. Figures update as stock moves.
