The office environment has undergone major changes in recent years due to various factors. Flexible office spaces, which are adaptable and allow companies to easily reduce or increase the size of the occupied space according to current needs, are increasingly coming to the fore. In Bratislava this year, the area of such premises reached around 40,000 sqm and thus continued its continuous growth for several years. Currently, such offices make up roughly 2% of all modern office spaces in the city. The total volume of rental transactions reached more than 2,500 sqm in the first half of 2024.

"We perceive that flexible spaces are an increasingly popular rental option, especially for smaller companies with up to 15 employees. They are particularly convinced by the high flexibility in the length of the contract, which usually starts at 3 months," explains Zuzana Lapčaková, Associate Director in the office space rental department at CBRE Slovakia. 

Monthly rents for one workplace in flexible offices in Bratislava currently range from €200 on average. For comparison, in Prague, the monthly price of a job in a flexible office ranges from €300 - 400, in Warsaw €330 - 650 and in London €500 -1500.  

When looking at the sectors that rented such premises the most over the last 5 years, professional services lead (25%). They are followed by the IT, finance and manufacturing sectors.
