Flexible, all-in office space in Washington DC runs a median of about $650 per person per month, with the middle of the market spanning roughly $430 to $1000 per person.

Flexible pricing vs. a traditional lease

A direct lease quotes a lower headline number per square foot, but the real cost adds build-out ($50–150+/sq ft), furniture, internet, utilities and a multi-year commitment. For teams under ~30 or anyone still growing, flexible space is usually cheaper all-in and lower-risk. Larger, stable teams save with a lease.
