Office rental Melbourne: the numbers behind our listings

Across 20 buildings and 126 available offices in Melbourne, the median asking rate is $3.48 per ft² a month — roughly $450 per m² a year. That makes Melbourne the most expensive of our Australian markets per square foot: Sydney's median sits at $2.67 and Brisbane's at $2.84. The cheaper quarter of Melbourne stock starts at $2.67 and the top tenth reaches $6.32, a spread driven almost entirely by the difference between a Collins Street tower and a suburban office on Whitehorse Road.

The median unit is 64 m² (about 690 ft²) — six to eight desks — and 50 of the 126 offices are 50 m² or smaller. The largest currently listed space is 520 m², so Melbourne on this site is a market for small and mid-sized requirements rather than headquarters floors.

Office space for lease Melbourne: CBD grid, inner suburbs or east?

• Collins Street and the CBD grid. The premium end: 90 Collins Street lists 7 offices from 10 to 90 m² starting at $6.32 per ft² a month — small, high-specification suites for firms that need the address.
• Inner north and Collingwood.71 Gipps Street offers 7 units from 20 to 220 m² from $2.60 — converted warehouse stock, the easiest area for hiring creative and technical staff.
• Port Melbourne and the bay.181 Bay Street lists 7 offices from 48 to 520 m² from $2.67 — the option for a growing team that wants one contiguous space.
• Eastern suburbs.818 Whitehorse Road and 737 Burwood Road put 14 more offices within reach of Box Hill and Hawthorn, with parking and the lowest rates in our Melbourne set.

A useful test before you commit: map where your ten most senior people live. In Melbourne the tram network makes a CBD address workable from almost anywhere inside the ring, but an eastern-suburbs office can halve the commute for a team that already lives out there — and cost 30% less per square metre.

What an office to rent in Melbourne costs by size

• Two to three people, 20–30 m²: about $750–$1,120 a month at the median rate.
• Six to eight people, 60–80 m²: $2,250–$3,000 — the deepest band in the city.
• Twenty people, 170–200 m²: $6,400–$7,500, available in a handful of the buildings above.
• Whole floor, 400–520 m²: the top of our current Melbourne range — book viewings early, there are only a few.

On a conventional office lease Melbourne outgoings, utilities and internet typically add a quarter to a third on top of the rent, plus a bank guarantee of three to six months. Serviced suites fold all of it into one monthly figure and take deposits of one to two months instead.

Common questions about leasing an office in Melbourne

How much is office space for lease in Melbourne per month? Around $37 per m² a month at the median: $2,250 for a 60 m² suite, $7,400 for 200 m². CBD towers sit above that, eastern-suburbs stock well below.

Why is Melbourne dearer per square foot than Sydney here? Because the mix differs: our Melbourne listings are weighted towards small, fitted CBD suites, while the Sydney set includes many large, plainer floorplates that pull its median down.

Is short-term space available? Yes — the serviced suites in the CBD grid take monthly and quarterly terms; conventional leases in the suburban buildings run three to five years.

Do you add a commission? No. Your enquiry reaches the owner or operator directly.
