A short-term office rental in Oakland can carry a team through a project, a relocation or the gap between leases without locking you into years of rent. The challenge is finding a space that is move-in ready, professional and flexible enough to end when the work does. STAK Space in Uptown Oakland offers private offices, dedicated desks and coworking on month-to-month agreements, a short walk from the 19th Street BART station. Here is how short-term space works and when it makes sense. Visiting teams can plan their trip with Visit Oakland.
When a Short-Term Office Rental in Oakland Makes Sense
Short-term space solves a lot of business problems. A project team may need a home base for a few months, a company may be waiting on a renovation, or a new hire may be launching an East Bay presence before committing to a long lease. Startups often use a few months of flexible space to test whether Oakland is the right market. In each case, the goal is the same: a professional office now, with no long tail of commitments later.

How Month-to-Month Office Terms Work at STAK
Standard STAK agreements are month-to-month, and longer commitments qualify for discounts if your plans firm up. You can change your plan at any time with 30 days’ notice before the next billing cycle. Memberships start at $299 per month for Basic and $499 per month for HQ, with private offices and dedicated desks added on top; private office pricing depends on size and tier. There is no build-out and no furniture to buy. See how plans compare on our memberships page.
Temporary Office Space That Is Ready on Day One
Temporary space only helps if you can start working right away. Private offices are lockable and come with essential tech and office amenities, and every member gets high-speed Wi-Fi, 24/7 access through the STAK app, unlimited booth access and shared printers. Staff are on site from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays to help you settle in. With more than 500 flex desks available daily across the campus, there is room for teammates who come and go.

Meeting Rooms and Day Passes for Visiting Teammates
Short-term projects often bring visitors: a manager flying in, a client stopping by, a contractor joining for a week. Basic and HQ memberships include 3 and 5 hours of complimentary conference room bookings, and day passes are available for occasional guests who need a desk. Members may host up to two guests at a time in coworking areas and reserved rooms. Every tour also includes a complimentary day pass, so you can book a tour and test the space before you sign.
An Uptown Location With BART at the Door
Short-term teams need an easy commute from day one. STAK Space is about a three-minute walk from the 19th Street Oakland BART station, with direct trains to San Francisco, Berkeley and the rest of the East Bay, and parking is available at the 1901 Franklin garage next door. Between meetings, the 39th-floor penthouse lounge offers terrace views across the Bay. Read more about access on our BART page.
Short-Term vs. Traditional Lease
Try STAK with a coworking day pass. Here is how a short-term office rental in Oakland at STAK compares with a traditional lease:
- Term: month-to-month vs. multi-year commitments.
- Setup: furnished and wired vs. build-out, furniture and internet installs.
- Amenities: meeting rooms, lounges and a fitness center for HQ members vs. whatever fits in your suite.
- Exit: 30 days’ notice to change plans vs. negotiating out of a lease.
For many teams, the flexibility is worth more than a slightly lower per-desk cost on paper, especially when the future is uncertain. Read about day office rentals in Oakland for even shorter needs.
