What does a serviced office cost in Brisbane?
At Clarence, Brisbane offices start from $935 a month on a 12-month term. That fee covers your private office, reception, internet, cleaning and utilities, with in-house IT and legal support offered at discounted rates. Price is dependent on the size of the room. Everything is at one address: 95 North Quay, in the courts precinct.
What does it cost?
| Building | Offices from | Suites | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 95 North Quay | $935 a month | 93 | 1 to 16 people |
Rates are the monthly price on a 12-month term. Shorter terms cost more per month.
95 North Quay
With 93 suites, North Quay has the most range of any Clarence building, from a single-person room up to a 16-person floor. A practice can grow several times over without changing address.
Does being opposite the courts actually save anything?
Yes, and the saving is time on hearing days.
95 North Quay sits across from the Brisbane courts precinct, so a filing run or a listing is a walk, not a cab fare and half an hour.
Reception runs that filing for you, charged to the matter, which for a sole practitioner is the difference between leaving the office and not.
“It's just across the road from the courts. I can pop over and file court docs, or give it to the ladies at reception and they'll file that for me, which is really handy being the only person in my firm.”

How does it compare with leasing in Brisbane?
A CBD lease runs three to five years and brings a fit-out, furniture, an internet contract, a receptionist and IT support, all separately contracted and all before you take a single meeting.
“I don’t have to employ anyone. I just get all the help that I need without having to engage anyone.”

Can I start smaller?
Yes. The $125-per-month Virtual Address membership gives you the North Quay address and mail handling. Phone answering is included in the $195-per-month Virtual Essentials membership, both plus GST, with no dedicated room, and meeting rooms when a client is coming in. Members move up into a room as the practice grows.
