Our promise

Portals show you what is left over.
We show you what is possible.

The most interesting offices never get listed: a lease is still running, the market is not supposed to know (yet), or the landlord does not want the building shopped around by every brokerage in town. We are advisors and check every available office space in Hamburg for your request: what is publicly listed and what is nowhere to be found.

In the vast majority of cases the landlord pays our fee. You pay nothing, even if we view 10 spaces with you. For the few mandates where the landlord does not cover our fee, you will find a note in our offers.

What clients say
“Many thanks to the Working Up team and especially to Jan for his tireless efforts in finding the perfect office! We did it. Rapid company growth brings many challenges. Jan and his team were the first real-estate agents who really listened to us and assessed our needs realistically. Communication was always transparent, clear and direct. He definitely exceeded our expectations!”

Knowledge · Hamburg

Answers for decision-makers.

What managing directors, office managers and HR teams ask us regularly, answered directly.

All FAQs

Is workin. an office letting agent in Hamburg?

Yes, what we do is commercial office letting in Hamburg. We usually practise it as tenant representation: we work for the company that is searching and represent its interests. We review the entire office market including any off-market options and negotiate the best possible lease offer. Usually free of charge for tenants.

Can I rent an office in Hamburg directly from the owner, without an agent?

Of course you can, but it gives you no advantage. We know every landlord in Hamburg, how they think and how much room they have. With us you can be sure we get the best offer out of them for you. On top of that, many Hamburg offices are never advertised publicly (so-called off-market options). We know those too and present them to you, without you having to phone dozens of property managers yourself.

What does office space cost in Hamburg in 2026?

On average, office space in Hamburg currently costs 22.50 €/m² net cold (H1 2026 · workin up GmbH). Prime locations such as HafenCity and the city centre range from 28.00 to 41.00 €/m². Ottensen and St. Pauli are at 18.00 to 26.00 €/m², Bahrenfeld or Hammerbrook at 12.00 to 18.00 €/m². Service charges of around 5.00 €/m² on average come on top.

How much office space do you need per employee?

It depends on the layout: open space 12 to 15 m² per person, team offices 15 to 18 m², private offices around 20 m². Working from home reduces the number of desks through the desk-sharing ratio; with private offices it stays at one desk per person. On top of that come a growth buffer, meeting rooms, lounge and kitchen. And it depends on how the owner measures the space, because the share of common areas varies. Sounds complicated? We will help you.

What does commission-free mean for office space?

At workin. the landlord pays our fee in the vast majority of cases. You as the tenant then pay nothing. The usual fee is 3 gross monthly rents plus VAT, borne by the landlord. If a space should exceptionally carry a tenant fee, you will find a clear note in our offers.

When should you start looking for an office?

6–12 months before you move in, up to 18 for large spaces. Briefing and shortlist: 1–2 weeks. Viewings: 4–8 weeks. Planning, negotiation and LOI: 4–12 weeks. Lease: 4–6 weeks. Fit-out: 8–16 weeks.
