Workspace lounge in a Collins Street building, Melbourne CBD

Melbourne CBD Serviced Offices & Coworking Spaces

The Melbourne CBD holds more flexible workspace than any other market in the country, and more variation within it: heritage chambers on a laneway, whole floors in a Collins Street tower, and everything between. The difficulty is not finding space. It is working out which of it is genuinely right for your team, and what the terms should actually be.

Nxt Space advises across the grid, from the Paris End through to the western financial precinct and the QV and Emporium blocks. We are independent, we know these buildings, and the service costs you nothing.

Melbourne CBD Office Space at a Glance

The CBD grid runs from Spring Street in the east to Spencer Street in the west, and the character changes street by street. The eastern end around Collins and Parliament is the premium address market. The western end is where the corporate and financial tenants sit. Between them, the laneways and the QV and Emporium precincts carry a younger, more design-led kind of workspace.

Trams, four train stations and the free tram zone mean almost any address in the grid is reachable from anywhere in Melbourne, which changes the question from where your team can get to, to what kind of building you want them walking into.

Melbourne CBD Precincts & Key Streets for Flexible Office Space

Where you sit in the grid says something different about your business. These are the precincts we are asked about most.

The Paris End — Collins Street east

Melbourne's premium address, running from Spring Street down past the Georges building. Expect polished fit-outs, concierge-level service and the strongest address in the city on a letterhead.

Collins Street west & the financial precinct

Towers, whole floors and the corporate end of the market. Suits professional services and anyone who wants to be among clients and counterparties rather than a walk away from them.

The laneways — Bank Place, Flinders Lane

Heritage chambers and converted buildings on quiet laneways off the main streets. Smaller floorplates, thicker walls and considerably more character than a glass tower.

QV, Emporium & the Lonsdale Street blocks

The retail and dining core, and the most design-led workspace in the city. Strong on amenity and community programming, and popular with creative and technology teams.

Types of Workspace Available in the Melbourne CBD

Private serviced offices

Fully furnished and ready to move into, on an all-inclusive monthly fee.

Managed & enterprise floors

Whole floors fitted to your own specification, for teams that want autonomy over layout and branding.

Project & short-term space

Room for a secondment, an overflow team or a fixed-length project without committing to a lease.
