Key Information
At JQ Modern, a serviced office is a fully-furnished workspace designed for teams of 1-5 people. It removes the hassle of traditional leasing by offering a single monthly fee that covers rent, rates, utilities and ultra-fast wifi. You get a private, light-filled office alongside access to premium facilities, including our boutique communal lounges, a refectory with fresh coffee, and a stunning reception to wow your guests from the moment they arrive.
A managed office is similar to a serviced office in that it is operated by a third party with flexible terms. The main difference is that a managed office is typically a ‘blank canvas’ that you can fully customize to your own business identity. However, at JQ Modern we offer the best of both: you get a private, high-spec office that is ready to go, but with the option to personalise your furniture and IT solutions to suit your specific brand needs.
