Office space in Kazakhstan

Office space in Kazakhstan typically costs between KZT 120,000 and KZT 350,000 per desk per month for flexible workspace, varying by product type and specification. Almaty commands the highest premium rates, particularly in the central business district and Bostandyk, where top-tier suites frequently exceed KZT 420,000 per desk. Astana and Shymkent offer materially cheaper equivalent product, typically ranging from KZT 70,000 to KZT 200,000 per desk, representing 30 to 50 percent savings compared to the capital.

Kazakhstan offers three main types of flexible workspace: serviced offices, coworking spaces and managed offices. Serviced offices provide private, fully fitted suites on short-term contracts with reception and meeting rooms included as standard. Coworking offers hot desks and dedicated desks in shared environments, ideal for freelancers and small teams. Managed offices deliver a bespoke private floor on a single monthly fee covering fit-out, furniture, utilities and building services.

Kazakhstan’s principal office markets centre on Almaty, where demand concentrates in prime business districts and emerging commercial quarters. Nur-Sultan anchor regional demand and serve as secondary office nodes for multinational expansion. Almaty holds the majority of commercial office workspace and flexible supply, reflecting its role as the country’s dominant commercial centre and primary hub for multinational regional headquarters operations and corporate decision-making.

Flexible office space in Kazakhstan is available from one month upwards, with most operators offering rolling monthly or 12-month agreements inclusive of furniture, utilities, cleaning and reception services. This contrasts sharply with conventional commercial leases in Kazakhstan, which are typically 1 to 3 years commercial with tenant liability for fit-out, repairs and building maintenance. Flex contracts carry no dilapidations or capital responsibility, allowing businesses to scale workspace according to operational needs without long-term financial commitment or depreciation risk.

Kazakhstan’s office demand is led by Oil and Gas, Mining and Banking. The market is anchored in Almaty, which hosts the country’s principal corporate headquarters, financial institutions, banks and multinational regional offices. Strong coworking and serviced supply serves both domestic enterprises and international businesses establishing operations in Kazakhstan. The flexible workspace market benefits from steady demand across multiple sectors.
