Office space in Jakarta’s CBD rents for about Rp172,500 per m² a month, CBRE’s Q3 2026 average. Service charge is usually billed separately, at about Rp95,400 per m² (Cushman & Wakefield, H1 2026). Leases typically run three to five years, with a three-month deposit and 11% VAT from a VAT-registered landlord.

How much is office rent in Jakarta in 2026?
Office rent in Jakarta averaged about Rp172,500 per m² per month in the CBD in Q3 2026, according to CBRE data reported by detikProperti. That was up from Rp170,500 in Q4 2025. Outside the CBD, the same CBRE data puts the average at Rp113,900.
Each broker measures rent differently, so compare figures from the same source. Cushman & Wakefield’s H1 2026 data gives a CBD base rent of Rp178,400, and Savills put CBD Grade A at Rp214,232 in Q1 2026.
Listing portals often quote higher figures for single buildings. Treat those as asking prices for specific floors, and use broker averages as the benchmark when you negotiate. An office rental in Jakarta quoted per m² may or may not include service charge, so ask for the breakdown.
How much does an SCBD office cost?
An SCBD office sits in Jakarta’s premium segment, and we found no recent broker average for SCBD alone. Colliers put premium asking base rents at about Rp350,000 per m² a month in Q3 2026, with some high-grade buildings quoted higher.
Demand there is strong. SCBD occupancy reached 87% in Q3 2026, Colliers reported via Kontan, and some premium SCBD buildings above 90% occupancy can hold rents and cut incentives. Elsewhere, Colliers described the market as broadly tenant-favourable in Q3 2026.
What does it cost to rent office space in Jakarta each month?
Renting office space in Jakarta costs base rent plus service charge, then VAT, with a deposit up front. In the CBD, service charge makes up about a third of the monthly bill before VAT.
Base rent: quoted per m² per month. Colliers’ Jakarta occupier guide says quoted rent excludes service charge.
Service charge: Rp95,400 per m² in the CBD and Rp72,800 outside it (Cushman & Wakefield, H1 2026). It covers building management costs such as maintenance, security and cleaning.
VAT: 11% effective on the bill when the landlord is VAT-registered.
Deposit: three months of rent plus service charge, according to Colliers.
Fit-out: usually paid by the tenant. Colliers says landlords typically do not contribute, though a rent-free period of one to three months, covering the fit-out period, is typical.
A worked example for 150 m² in the CBD, using Cushman & Wakefield’s H1 2026 figures:
Base rent: 150 × Rp178,400 = Rp26,760,000.
Service charge: 150 × Rp95,400 = Rp14,310,000.
Subtotal: Rp41,070,000 a month.
VAT at 11%: Rp4,517,700, for a monthly total of Rp45,587,700.
Deposit: three months of Rp41,070,000, or Rp123,210,000.
Check the area too. Colliers notes a loss factor of 10–20% between rented and usable space, and benchmarks about one employee per 10 m². A 150 m² lease may therefore give 120–135 m² of usable floor, enough for roughly 12–13 people.
What lease terms apply to office space in Indonesia?
Office space in Indonesia is usually leased on fixed terms set by the landlord. Colliers’ occupier guide lists these Jakarta norms:
Length: three to five years.
Deposit: three months’ gross rent (rent plus service charge); some landlords also ask for rent in advance.
Measurement: the BOMA standard, with a 10–20% loss factor.
Early termination: not typically negotiated.
Subletting: needs the landlord’s consent.
Broker fee: paid by the landlord on new leases and by the tenant on renewals.
Tenants still have room to negotiate. Industry.co.id, reporting Colliers’ Q2 2026 data in August 2026, said landlords are using more flexible lease structures, rent-free periods and fit-out support. Our lease agreement guide covers the Civil Code rules behind any Indonesian lease.
Which taxes apply to office rent in Jakarta?
Office rent in Jakarta carries a 10% final income tax and, from a VAT-registered landlord, VAT at an effective 11%. Under Article 4(1) and (2) of PP 34/2017, the 10% applies to the gross value, including service charge, whether it is billed separately or not.
In the official elucidation, rent of Rp200 million plus a year’s service charge of Rp15 million produces tax of Rp21.5 million. A corporate tenant that is a withholding agent withholds it, under Article 3. Our rental tax guide explains filing and deadlines.
VAT runs at 12% on a base of 11/12, an effective 11%, under PMK 131/2024.
Rent is also required to be priced in rupiah. Under Articles 2(1) and 11 of PBI 17/3/PBI/2015, transactions in Indonesia must use rupiah and prices must be quoted in rupiah. Article 4 lists the exceptions.
Where can a small team find office space for rent in Jakarta?
Office space for rent in Jakarta for small teams usually means a small unit in an office building, a serviced office or a strata unit. Our own board reflects this. All five office requests on the Yard Zeal client requirements board on 10 November 2026 are in Jakarta, and each needs between 50 m² and 200 m².
Three of those five name a district: North Jakarta and two in South Jakarta, one near Kuningan. In its Q1 2026 report, Colliers noted that companies were looking at compact, efficient units.
Serviced offices suit teams that want furniture and services included. FlySpaces, a listing portal, shows four-person private offices in coworking spaces at about Rp10–18 million a month. Treat that as an indicative listing price, not market research, and compare it with the total monthly cost of a conventional lease.
Should you rent or buy office space in Jakarta?
Renting suits companies that want flexibility, while buying a strata office suits owners planning a long hold. Weigh rent or buy office space on the same four points.
Renting
Upfront cost: a deposit of three months’ rent plus service charge, and fit-out.
Price signal: CBD average rent of Rp172,500 per m² per month (CBRE, Q3 2026).
Flexibility: a three-to-five-year term, with early exit rarely negotiable.
Who can do it: any company, including a foreign-owned PT PMA.
Buying a strata office
Upfront cost: the purchase price, plus BPHTB of up to 5% under Article 47 of UU 1/2022. Our BPHTB guide has the calculation.
Price signal: asking prices of about Rp57 million per m² in the CBD, Rp82 million in SCBD and Rp34 million outside the CBD, according to Colliers’ Q2 2026 data.
Flexibility: you can resell or lease the unit, though Colliers described the strata market as quiet.
Who can do it: generally an Indonesian legal entity, including a PT PMA, holding a strata title certificate (SHM Sarusun) over HGB land. Title rules for office-only strata buildings are complex, so have a notary or PPAT check the certificate. Foreign individuals cannot use the ownership route in PP 18/2021, which Article 72(d) limits to residential use.
Strata title means you own one unit in a building plus a share of common areas. Our guide to land ownership for a PT PMA explains HGB.
Checklist before signing a Jakarta office lease
Confirm whether the quoted rent excludes service charge, and get both figures in writing.
Ask how the area is measured and what usable space the loss factor leaves.
Get the deposit, rent-free period and fit-out period stated in the lease.
Check who withholds the 10% final tax and whether VAT applies.
Confirm the rent is priced in rupiah.
Read the early-termination, subletting and reinstatement clauses.

FAQ
Is service charge included in office rent in Jakarta?
Usually not. Colliers’ Jakarta occupier guide says quoted market rent excludes service charge, so the building bills it on top. In the CBD, Cushman & Wakefield put service charge at Rp95,400 per m² a month in H1 2026, compared with base rent of Rp178,400. Always ask for both figures, and check whether air conditioning outside office hours costs extra.
How large a deposit do Jakarta office landlords ask for?
Colliers lists a deposit of three months’ gross rent, meaning rent plus service charge, as typical in Jakarta, and some landlords also ask for rent in advance. For a 150 m² CBD office at Cushman & Wakefield’s H1 2026 rates, that is about Rp123 million. Check in the lease when the deposit is returned and which deductions the landlord may take.
Is a CBD office much more expensive than one outside the CBD?
Yes, by about half again on CBRE’s figures. The CBD averaged Rp172,500 per m² a month in Q3 2026, against Rp113,900 outside the CBD in the same quarter. Service charge is also lower outside the CBD, at Rp72,800 versus Rp95,400 (Cushman & Wakefield, H1 2026). The gap may reflect building grade and location, so compare buildings of the same grade.
What mistake should you avoid when renting an office?
Comparing quoted rents alone. Two offices at the same rent can differ widely once service charge, VAT, deposit, fit-out and the loss factor between rented and usable area are counted. Ask each landlord for the total monthly cost and the usable floor area, then compare those numbers rather than the headline rent per m².
How much office space does a team of ten need?
Colliers benchmarks about one employee per 10 m², so ten people need roughly 100 m² of usable space. Jakarta buildings typically have a loss factor of 10–20% between rented and usable area. A lease of about 110–125 m² is therefore a sensible starting point, adjusted for meeting rooms and storage.
Can a foreign-owned company rent an office in Jakarta?
Yes. A PT PMA, an Indonesian company with foreign shareholders, can sign an office lease like any other Indonesian company. The same rules apply: rent is priced in rupiah, the 10% final income tax is withheld on rent and service charge, and VAT applies when the landlord is VAT-registered. Foreign individuals cannot buy a strata office under PP 18/2021, which limits their ownership to residential use.
