Private Offices in Singapore: A Complete Guide for Growing Teams

If you've outgrown your dining table, your hot desk, or your own four walls, a private office is usually the next step. The tricky part is that "private office" means something different at every provider, and getting the fit wrong (too small, too rigid, too far from your clients) is an expensive mistake to walk back from.

This guide covers what a private office actually includes, how to size one for your team, what it costs in Singapore's CBD, and how a serviced private office differs from a traditional office lease. We'll also walk through how The Work Boulevard approaches private offices, since it's a question we field from prospective members every week.

What Is a Private Office?

A private office is a fully enclosed, lockable space within a coworking or serviced office building, reserved exclusively for your team. Unlike a hot desk or coworking membership, nobody else sits in your office. And unlike a traditional commercial lease, you're not signing up to fit out, furnish, and maintain a bare shell yourself.

In practice, a private office gives you:

It's the option most businesses land on once they've outgrown a shared desk but aren't ready (or don't want) to take on a bare-shell office and everything that comes with it.

How to Choose the Right Size Private Office

The right private office isn't really about "small" versus "large." It comes down to your headcount today and where it's heading over the next 12 to 24 months. At The Work Boulevard, private offices accommodate teams from 2 all the way up to 100 people, and the same core offering scales with you rather than forcing a switch to a different product as you grow.

Here's a useful way to think about sizing:

2 to 5 pax. Founders, small teams, and satellite offices that want privacy and a proper business address without the overhead of managing a lease. A single enclosed office with room to add a desk or two as you hire.

5 to 15 pax. Established small businesses and regional teams that need a dedicated room for daily work, plus regular access to meeting rooms for client calls and interviews.

15 to 40 pax. Teams that host frequent client meetings, need breakout areas, and are starting to think about how the office reflects their brand. This is where customisation (signage, layout, a dedicated meeting room within the suite) starts to matter.

40 to 100 pax. Larger teams that need a fully custom-built floor: multiple offices, meeting rooms, a reception area, and a layout designed around how the team actually works.

Because the underlying product doesn't change, you're never "upgraded" into a different tier with different terms. Teams can renegotiate square footage as they grow without relocating to a new provider entirely. That flexibility is one of the most underrated parts of choosing a private office over a fixed lease.

What's Included in a Private Office at The Work Boulevard

Every private office is built around four commitments.

Fully equipped. Business-grade internet, ergonomic Steelcase chairs, height-adjustable desks, and great coffee are standard, so you move in and start working rather than fitting the place out yourself.

Fully customisable. Need a tea station? A meeting room built into your suite? A dividing wall moved? The Work Boulevard's team works with you to configure the space around how your team actually operates, not a fixed floor plan.

Fully connected. Your private office membership includes unlimited access to coworking lounges, meeting rooms, conference facilities, and phone booths across all four Work Boulevard locations, not just the one you're based in.

Fully serviced. You get direct access to the on-site management team, with no ticketing system required. Cleaning, maintenance, and day-to-day facilities are handled so your team can focus on the business instead of the office.

Standard inclusions across every private office:

Private Office vs. Hot Desk vs. Traditional Lease

A private office earns its cost the moment your team needs confidentiality for client work, secure storage, or simply a consistent space to call home, without taking on the risk and lead time of a traditional lease.

How Much Does a Private Office Cost in Singapore?

At The Work Boulevard, private offices start from SGD 700 per workstation per month, with pricing shaped by team size, location, and any customisation. Because pricing is per workstation rather than a fixed "package," the cost scales predictably as your headcount changes, so you're never paying for a tier you don't need.

For an exact quote based on your team size and preferred location, it's best to speak with the team directly, since every private office is configured individually.

Where The Work Boulevard's Private Offices Are Located

All four locations sit in Singapore's Central Business District, so wherever your clients and team are coming from, you're close to the action:

Because a private office membership includes access to all four locations, teams that operate across multiple sites (or expect to) aren't locked into a single building.

Why Businesses Choose The Work Boulevard

The Work Boulevard opened its first location in 2023 with a simple premise: workspaces should be designed around the people using them, not the other way round. That shows up in the details, from the ergonomic Steelcase furniture to the complimentary Common Man coffee, right through to a management team that's reachable directly rather than through a ticketing queue.

It also shows up in how private offices get built. Rather than fitting teams into a predetermined layout, The Work Boulevard's team works from your brief: your headcount, your growth plans, and how your team actually likes to work. That could mean a custom meeting room within your suite, a specific desk configuration, or simply the flexibility to add seats as you hire, all without renegotiating a lease from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a private office cost in Singapore? At The Work Boulevard, private offices start from SGD 700 per workstation per month, all-inclusive of furniture, utilities, internet, and access to shared amenities. Final pricing depends on team size, location, and any customisation.

What team sizes can a private office accommodate? The Work Boulevard's private offices accommodate teams from 2 to 100 people, using the same flexible product rather than separate "standard" and "enterprise" tiers. The space and terms simply scale with your team.

What's the difference between a private office and coworking membership? A coworking membership gives you access to shared lounges and hot desks on a flexible, non-exclusive basis. A private office is a fully enclosed, lockable space reserved exclusively for your team, with the same access to shared amenities layered on top.

Can I customise my private office? Yes. The Work Boulevard builds private offices around your team's specific needs, from added meeting rooms and tea stations to layout changes, rather than offering a single fixed configuration.

How long does it take to move into a private office? Because private offices are fully furnished and serviced, move-in typically takes days rather than the weeks or months required to fit out a traditional leased space.

Do I need a long-term lease? No. Private office agreements at The Work Boulevard are more flexible than a traditional 2 to 3 year commercial lease, so teams can scale up, down, or relocate within the portfolio as their needs change. Speak to the team directly to confirm minimum terms for your specific setup.
