How Much Does Office Space Cost in Washington DC? Per-Desk Prices by District (November 2026)
October 17, 2026 | by Michael Monday
Published asking prices in Washington DC run from $370 per desk per month at the low end to $899 in the upper quarter, with a median of $600. That is the per-desk, per-month asking price for a private office or dedicated desk in a serviced or coworking building, with furniture, internet, cleaning and reception included. The figures come from 43 published prices on SquareFoot as of November 2026.
“From” is the tenth-percentile published price in that district, so a real low end rather than a single outlier; the median is the middle of the published range. Districts with fewer than three published prices are left out.

These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.
What the price includes
At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
