What a coworking space is
A coworking space is a ready-to-use desk in a shared area, rented by the month instead of an office: internet, meeting rooms, kitchen and reception are included, with no spend on fit-out or furniture. Two things set it apart from a conventional lease — you pay per desk rather than per square metre, and the term is a month rather than a year. Moscow venues are small: the catalogue median is 32 desks, so a coworking here usually means a floor inside a business centre rather than a standalone building.
What drives the desk price
Building class matters more than location. A desk in a class A or A+ building runs about RUB 60,000 a month against RUB 18,600 in class B — roughly three times the difference. Class C brings no saving over B, so going below B is pointless. A central address is no guarantee of a high price either: the catalogue has a desk near Tverskaya at RUB 7,000 a month, while the cheapest option overall is RUB 5,693 in Zelenograd. Moscow-City has 26 venues with a median around RUB 39,000 per desk.
Workspace formats
A dedicated desk is your permanent spot in a shared space; a hot desk is any free seat in the open area — the most affordable option. Private and serviced offices inside coworkings give you the privacy of a room with all the coworking flexibility: lease from one month, all services included, easy scaling as the team grows.
How to choose
