How a Hong Kong office search works

Every stage removes options that do not fit and develops the ones that do. By the end, the decision is between a focused set of proposals that can be compared on the same basis — not a long list of disconnected listings.

  1. 01

    Define the brief

    We start with location, commute, headcount, weekly working pattern, layout, move-in date, budget and term. We also ask about growth plans and notice obligations at the current office because both can change the right answer.

    We test the operator's billable desk count against comfortable occupancy. A room can hold fewer people in practice once the brief includes meeting space, a manager's office, storage and adequate circulation.

    • Location and commute
    • Headcount and workspace plan
    • Budget, timing and term
  2. 02

    Survey the market and build the shortlist

    We screen the centres and buildings that fit, check what is genuinely available and map the strongest matches. An option only reaches the shortlist when it answers the brief, not simply because the space is vacant.

    Stock and pricing move at individual-centre level, so we reconfirm material details with the operator instead of relying on an undated published listing.

    • Suitable centres and buildings
    • Mapped locations
    • Dated availability and pricing
  3. 03

    Build a like-for-like comparison

    We put every shortlisted space on the same footing: usable capacity, layout, monthly cost, deposit, term, included services and separately billed items. This makes the trade-offs visible before anyone spends time negotiating the wrong option.

    • Like-for-like costs
    • Usable team configuration
    • Inclusions and extra charges
  4. 04

    Arrange and assess viewings

    We coordinate physical or virtual tours and assess each space against the way the team works. We check fit-out condition, natural light, ceiling height, acoustics, air conditioning, access hours, internet options, power, lift waiting times, meeting rooms and shared facilities.

    Details such as lift waiting time or noise between rooms rarely appear on a floor plan but materially affect the office once the team uses it every day.

    • Physical or virtual tours
    • Workspace and building checks
    • Layout flexibility

    Develop the preferred proposal

    For the preferred flexible workspace, we organise the commercial questions around the monthly rate and wider package: deposit, incentives, included services, commitment length, expansion options, notice and exit conditions. You raise or confirm those points directly with the operator, with MOA keeping the comparison clear.

    The headline rate is only one part of the proposal. Differences may also appear in the deposit, included services, incentives or flexibility around a future change of space.

    • Price and incentives
    • Renewal and exit terms
    • Expansion rights

    Move in, and afterwards

    We help coordinate the handover and move-in after signing. We then stay reachable for a renewal, expansion or later relocation, using current market information for the next decision.

    • Handover coordination
    • Renewals and expansion
    • Future relocations

What a proper comparison actually covers

A photograph and starting price tell you an option exists. They do not tell you whether it will work for the team or what it will cost in full.

How we're paid

For the standard flexible-workspace search, you do not pay MOA a separate advisory fee for the shortlist, viewing coordination or proposal comparison. When an introduction results in a completed operator agreement, the selected operator pays MOA a referral fee.

You contract with and pay the operator according to its final proposal. We set out the recurring and one-off costs consistently so the decision is not built around an incomplete starting price.

No separate advisory fee for the standard flexible-workspace search.

Timing

How long an office search takes

The timing depends on the clarity of the brief, current operator availability, viewing diaries and whether the selected space needs custom work. We confirm the practical next step once those variables are known.

  • BriefClear inputs start the searchLocation, headcount, target date, budget and term are enough to begin
  • AvailabilityExact suites are confirmedThe operator confirms the room, pricing and relevant terms for the brief
  • ToursDiaries shape viewing timePhysical or virtual viewings are coordinated with the team and operator

Judgement behind the shortlist

Bobby Sodeiri, founder of My Office Asia

Bobby Sodeiri

Founder — My Office Asia

Bobby Sodeiri has more than ten years of Hong Kong workspace experience and leads the brief, shortlist, viewing coordination and operator proposal comparison for My Office Asia clients.

His role is to identify the trade-offs that are easy to miss in a listing: practical rather than billable capacity, the complete monthly cost, building usability, operator flexibility and the terms that matter again at renewal or exit.

MOA advises on commercial workspace matters. Legal, accounting, tax and regulatory questions remain with the client's appointed professional advisers, and the agreement should receive independent legal review before signing.

Common questions

What should we send first?

The preferred location, team size, target date, monthly budget and expected term are enough to begin. Layout, hybrid-working and growth requirements help refine the first search.

How is the first shortlist built?

We screen current operator options against the preferred districts, practical team capacity, layout, budget, start date and expected term. Before an office is treated as current, the relevant operator confirms its availability and proposal details.

Will My Office Asia arrange and attend viewings?

Yes. MOA coordinates the relevant physical or virtual viewings and can attend with you. We record the room condition, natural light, acoustics, access, IT, included services and commercial questions so the options can be compared consistently.

Does MOA help after an office is selected?

We progress commercial questions with the operator, support move-in coordination and remain available for later renewals, expansions or relocations. The final workspace, price and agreement terms are issued and confirmed by the operator.
