Looking for an office in Hong Kong

The market continues to grow, with a number of new office providers and an increase in the availability of coworking spaces in Hong Kong

Top priorities for businesses looking to move into Hong Kong include the rental rates, transport links and the location.

The average cost for two to three workstations for the rest of Hong Kong is around HKD15,000 and for four to five workstations, ranges from HKD20,000 – 30,000.

These costs also cover amenities, which may include internet, meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, reception services, AV equipment and parking.

Office sizes

The average size requirement for serviced office space in Hong Kong is two to five workstations.

We offer a great variety of office sizes, and are able to accommodate most enquiries, from one person through to 100 or more, depending on the specifics.
