For most small businesses, a desk in one suburb and stock in another costs more than a single address that does both — once you add the second rent, the second bond and the kilometres in between. Goodspace Kingsgrove combines warehouse and office space in Sydney under one roof, so one address covers the laptop work and the pallet work.
The two-address costs nobody adds up
Two rents and two bonds are just the start. A split setup also doubles the outgoings — power, internet, insurance — and then come the quieter costs: the forty-minute round trip every time a courier misses you, the van that exists mainly to shuttle boxes between sites, and the staff hours that travel with it. We've already looked at what a small warehouse actually rents for in Sydney; the point here is that the second address rarely earns its keep.
What one address looks like in Kingsgrove
The E-Comm Hub at 14 Commercial Rd was designed for exactly this. Mini warehouses sit near the loading dock and packing station, and the workspace floor is steps away, with dedicated desks through to private offices from $1,545 per month. Stock arrives at the goods in and out cage without anyone waiting around for couriers, and the on-site café means the team catch-up doesn't need a third address either.

Do the maths on your own numbers
Add up your current rent at both addresses, the doubled outgoings and a fair hourly rate for the driving. If the total still beats one Kingsgrove address, keep the split — but we haven't met many businesses whose numbers land that way. A good space that holds both the stock and the spreadsheets is usually the cheaper one.
