The average commercial rent of a traditional office in the Sydney CBD costs above AU$1,000 per square metre, which doesn’t include outgoings that are passed on to tenants. The high cost have incentivised many companies to rent in the outskirts of CBD or find a serviced office without the heavy expense of land tax, building insurance, management fees, repair and maintenance costs. Serviced offices located in CBD typically cost AU$450-AU$1250 per desk, depending on the size of the room, the level of customisation, building amenities, office building grade and location. Alternative options in north-western edge of Sydney CBD and North Sydney come in a range of AU$450-AU$850 per desk.
