What does office space rent for, suburb by suburb?
Median office rents for 31 Australian suburbs, as at 5 October 2026: serviced office desk rates in dollars per desk per month, and commercial net face rents in dollars per square metre per year.
Every figure carries the number of listings behind it, and a suburb only appears once it has enough stock for a median we can defend. All of it is free to download and republish with attribution.

How these benchmarks are calculated
Serviced desk rates are each office's all-inclusive monthly rent divided by its capacity, taken as a median. Commercial rates are advertised rents normalised to dollars per square metre per year, taken as a median. Both exclude POA listings and indicative guide pricing, so the figures reflect genuine advertised rates only.
