A significant volume of prime office leases are set to expire in Sydney and Melbourne between 2026 and 2028, a trend also seen in other major Australian cities. This approaching wave of expiries means many businesses will soon need to consider their next office move. However, many are unsure where to begin, what they need from a new space, or even where they should be located.
To help businesses get a strategic head start, Spaceful has launched a new initiative: the Workplace Strategy Lift package, a limited time offer designed to help organisations make smarter, faster, and more cost-effective office decisions.
How the complimentary strategy package helps businesses navigate an office move
From now until the end of August 2025, eligible Australian businesses can apply for the chance to receive a complimentary Workplace Strategy Lift package, valued at $15,000. The offer includes two dedicated 2-hour sessions with Spaceful’s Global Workplace Strategy Director, Tica Masuku and Design Director, Michael Spinoglio.
Following the sessions, participating businesses receive a tailored brief to guide property selection, workplace design, and fit-out decisions.
We consistently find that businesses start thinking about their next office move far too late, leading to costly mistakes. With a significant portion of office leases nearing expiry across Australia, the time to act is now. Ideally, planning starts 18–24 months before your lease ends, but even with 6 months’ lead time, Spaceful can still help you reduce costs and find better options.
“Our complimentary Workplace Strategy Lift package is designed to give businesses clarity around what kind of workspace they need, saving them time, space and money. We also assist businesses already in a lease but may be considering their options,” said Ben Myhill, CEO at Spaceful.
What the Workplace Strategy Lift package includes
The Workplace Strategy Lift package considers a wide range of factors, including organisational goals, employee needs, productivity demands, and cultural aspirations. The package includes:
- A tailored workplace strategy overview
- Workplace performance and experience metrics to guide spatial decisions
- Scenario planning for space usage and desk-sharing
- Design planning guidance including high level budgets
- Go-to-market brief with data-backed space, location, and building requirements
A full workplace strategy can cost upwards of $50,000 and takes 3+ months. For a limited time, Spaceful’s fast-tracked Lift version delivers focused insights in just a few weeks, at no cost.
Why workplace strategy matters
Without a clear workplace strategy, businesses risk overcommitting on space, under-supporting their teams, or investing in a fit-out that doesn’t meet their future needs. Spaceful’s Lift package helps organisations:
- Align space with how their business actually works
- Avoid leasing too much or too little space
- Cut design and fit-out guesswork
- Support employees and improve ROI
- Get better results, faster and with less risk
How to apply
To be eligible, applicants must be an Australian-based business or organisation and be seeking a new office space of 500+ square metres. Entries will be assessed based each business’s workplace goals, the challenges they are looking to solve, and how well these align with the purpose of the Workplace Strategy Lift package.
Businesses must register their interest by 31 August 2025, outlining their current office challenges and goals via a short form. Terms and conditions apply.
