Office Spaces in Hong Kong

Monthly rent usually covers the use of the office unit itself. Some buildings include service charges (maintenance, security, cleaning, and air-conditioning), while others bill these separately. Always confirm what's included before signing.

Most landlords require 2-3 months' gross rent as a security deposit, plus 1 month's utilities deposit. Serviced and coworking offices may only need 1 month's rent in advance.

Serviced office rent typically includes furniture, utilities, internet, cleaning services, reception services, and access to shared facilities like meeting rooms and common areas. Some providers may charge separately for additional services.

Minimum contract periods vary by property type. Traditional offices typically require 2-3 year leases, while serviced offices and coworking spaces offer more flexibility with monthly or quarterly terms. Short-term options are available but may come at a premium.

Flexibility depends on the property type. Serviced offices and coworking spaces often allow upgrades or downgrades with notice. Traditional office leases are more rigid, but some landlords may accommodate changes through lease amendments or subletting arrangements.

Additional costs may include management fees, government rates, utilities (if not included), parking fees, insurance, renovation costs, and legal fees. Always request a detailed breakdown before signing to avoid surprises.
