Offices For Rent in Malta

Office rents in Malta range from €120 to €450 per sqm per year, with most leases in core business districts (Sliema, St Julian’s, Gzira, Mriehel) landing between €200 and €350 per sqm per year. A 200 sqm office typically costs €40,000–€70,000 a year all-in. Premium seafront addresses go higher; districts like Birkirkara and San Gwann go lower.

Plan for 8–10 sqm per employee in open-plan layouts and 12–15 sqm per employee where you need meeting rooms, private offices, and break-out space. A team of 30 typically takes 240–450 sqm depending on density.

A serviced office is plug-and-play – furnished, with utilities, internet, and reception included, and a short-term contract (monthly to 12 months). A traditional lease is unfurnished or partly furnished, signed for 3–5 years, with the tenant paying separately for utilities and fit-out. Serviced makes sense for teams under 15 or for fast market entry; traditional becomes more cost-effective above ~20 people and over a 2-year horizon.

St Julian’s (including Portomaso and Paceville) and Sliema are the default – most peer firms are there, and recruitment is easier. Mriehel is the strongest value alternative for larger floorplates. Gzira and Ta’ Xbiex serve firms that want proximity without paying seafront rates.

Plug-and-play offices: 1–3 weeks from brief to occupation. Traditional fit-out: 6–12 weeks depending on the works required. Off-market stock sometimes moves faster than published listings because the timing is being driven by an outgoing tenant.

Standard market practice in Malta for commercial leases is 10% of one year’s rent plus VAT, paid by each the tenant and the landlord on lease signature. We’re transparent on fees before any viewing.

Parking is the single most common deal-breaker we see. Sliema and St Julian’s have very limited on-site parking; Mriehel, Gzira (newer buildings), San Gwann, and Birkirkara are generally better. Confirm parking availability and cost separately – it isn’t always included in the headline rent.

Yes. Our publicly searchable inventory is a fraction of what we have access to. Some landlords prefer not to advertise; outgoing tenants often look to sub-lease quietly. Tell us what you need and we’ll surface relevant off-market options.
