Hub North Adelaide

This September, doors open for Hub North Adelaide, a premium coworking clubhouse set to meet the growing demand for high-quality, flexible workspaces in the city.

The flexible working space, developed in partnership with Commercial & General, occupies 1,900 sqm across two levels of mixed-use development 88 O’Connell, in the heart of North Adelaide’s thriving business and cultural precinct.

The clubhouse is the second in Adelaide for Hub Australia and sees the flexible workspace provider double its SA footprint. With occupancy at Hub Adelaide reaching 93% for suites and offices, Hub North Adelaide is a response to this strong market demand, providing an elevated workspace experience in one of the city’s most vibrant precincts.

Despite Adelaide’s office vacancy rate sitting at 16.4% (slightly above the 10-year average of 15.4%) demand for premium flexible office spaces remains strong, particularly among businesses seeking hybrid solutions.

Hub North Adelaide offers a workspace that blends productivity with the energy and charm of the area. Designed for professionals who appreciate a vibrant work-life balance, it’s a place where business meets lifestyle, just minutes from the heart of the city.

As a complement to Hub Adelaide in the CBD, it provides an alternative workspace experience – the same premium service and amenities in a setting that reflects the distinct character of North Adelaide. 

With hospitality-style service, an on-site barista, a Relax Room, and serviced meeting spaces, members can enjoy a workspace that feels as inviting as their favourite local spot – whether you’re a North Adelaide local or commuting in, it’s a workspace experience worth the trip.

Hub Australia CEO and Founder Brad Krauskopf says demand for premium flexible workspaces in Adelaide has continued to steadily increase since its initial launch in the market.

“We first opened our doors in Adelaide over ten years ago and moved to Pirie Street in 2021, where we’ve been happily occupied ever since,” says Krauskopf.

“Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a surge in demand for flexible work options, particularly as businesses establish their presence in South Australia and require high-quality hybrid solutions. We are thrilled to bring this next chapter of flexible work to North Adelaide and continue supporting the local business community.”

“88 O’Connell is one of the most anticipated projects in Adelaide – it’s such an exciting time for the city, having seen a lot of industry growth over the last few years, with even more opportunity. Hub North Adelaide will provide businesses with a workspace that’s inspired by the local lifestyle, and designed for elevated work. Members will be welcomed into a space that is convenient, sophisticated and flexible while continuing to meet the ever-changing needs of workers.”

Hub North Adelaide offers an unparalleled opportunity for members to thrive in one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Surrounded by a depth of culture, renowned restaurants, and exceptional amenities, it’s a place where work and lifestyle seamlessly intersect.”

Jamie McClurg, Executive Chairman of Commercial & General Group, the integrated developer and builder of Eighty Eight O’Connell, says the partnership with Hub is reflective of workspace demand and a catalyst for change in North Adelaide.

“Where, when and how we work and network extends beyond the traditional CBD high-rise, so any office offering must be truly ‘mixed-use’ to meet the market. In North Adelaide, you are a stone’s throw from the CBD, with easy access to the suburbs, on-site parking and rich amenity – this is what Eighty Eight represents – a lifestyle of live, work, play, and thrive.”
