According to Instant Offices, in Miami, one of Florida’s most competitive office markets, flexible desk costs have increased to an average of $805 per month, giving businesses the opportunity to set up in some of the most coveted neighborhoods in the city.
Florida boasts one of the most concentrated flexible workspace markets in the US, alongside California, Texas, New York and Illinois. With an 8% increase in flexible center growth since last year, the trend is seeing consistent growth as more companies choose flexible space over conventional offices.
Across the US as a whole, the Annual US Market Summary Report shows Miami falls directly into the mid-range at $806 per person, per month. This comes in well below current desk costs in mature markets in Texas ($926), New York ($1,063) and California ($1,079), but slightly higher than neighboring South Carolina ($583), Alabama ($602) and Georgia ($709).

Flexible Office Market in Miami
Miami has a strong global business community and is a center for commerce in Florida. It is also a hub for international business, finance and trade thanks to its large concentration of international banks in the country. It is also home to the biggest television production industry for the Spanish-speaking community in the US, with Telemundo and UniMAS having their headquarters in the city.
Miami is known as the Latin America hub. Most corporations with Latin presence have regional headquarters in Miami/Ft Lauderdale due to excellent flights connectivity and geographic location. Office space in Miami is in high demand, with the central districts being:
Brickell
- Most prime office space located in Brickell
- Most offices have water views
- Miami’s financial district
Coral Gables
- The preferred choice for companies outside of Downtown Miami
- Easy access to Brickell and Downtown
- A neighbour to Miami University, which is an excellent source of talent
Doral
- Smaller buildings, more personal, friendlier feel
- Industrial and suburban mixed neighbourhood
- Close to Miami International Airport
- Urban transformation resulting in a large amount of available office space to rent at affordable prices
