For businesses searching for office space in Malta, Gżira has become one of the locations worth comparing with the more established office districts of Sliema and St Julian’s.
One of the newer commercial developments in the area is 33 Creekside Business Centre, located on Triq l-Imsida in Gżira. Completed in 2023, the property was developed as a purpose-built business centre and is a part of the newer generation of commercial buildings in Gzira. Several operating businesses already use 33 Creekside as their Malta address. Transport Malta, for example, lists Alliance Executive Jets at 33 Creekside Business Centre and others.
Why Gżira Is Popular for Office Space in Malta
Gżira has developed considerably as an office location during recent years. It sits between several of Malta’s principal commercial and residential areas, with Sliema, Ta’ Xbiex, Msida and St Julian’s all nearby. OfficeMarket.mt market data places typical Gżira office rents at approximately €230–€270 per square metre per year, although the price of an individual office will depend on the building, floor, specification, condition, size, parking and lease terms.
This places Gżira in an interesting position for companies that want a central Malta office but are willing to compare several buildings rather than automatically choosing Sliema or St Julian’s. The area is particularly considered by businesses operating in sectors such as:
- technology
- iGaming
- payments and fintech
- insurance
- financial and professional services
- aviation
- travel
- consulting
- international services
33 Creekside itself already accommodates businesses operating in aviation and travel, including Alliance Executive Jets and Hans Travel.
What Type of Company Could Consider 33 Creekside?
An office at 33 Creekside may be particularly relevant for:
- international companies establishing an operation in Malta
- existing Malta businesses relocating from an older office
- professional-services companies
- aviation and travel businesses
- fintech and payment companies
- technology and online businesses
- iGaming and affiliate companies
- companies wanting to remain close to Sliema without requiring a seafront address
- growing teams looking for a modern business-centre environment
The building may also appeal to companies whose employees are distributed across Sliema, Gżira, Msida, Ta’ Xbiex and surrounding central areas. For businesses receiving overseas clients or partners, using a recognisable commercial building can also provide a more straightforward arrival experience than operating from a converted apartment block or mixed residential property.
Office Prices in Gżira
OfficeMarket.mt’s broader market data places average asking rents for offices in Gżira at around €230–€270 per sqm per year.
This provides a useful benchmark, but it should not be treated as the rental price of a specific office at 33 Creekside.
For example, using that market range purely as a comparison:
A 150 sqm office at €230–€270 per sqm per year would equate to approximately €2,875–€3,375 per month before VAT, common-area charges, utilities, parking and any other applicable costs.
A 250 sqm office using the same market benchmark would correspond to roughly €4,790–€5,625 per month.
Actual asking rents can differ considerably depending on the office specification and availability at the time of enquiry.
PRO TIP: When comparing office rental prices in Malta, always calculate the full price, rather than comparing headline rent alone.
Ask what is charged separately for:
- common-area expenses
- electricity and water
- internet
- air-conditioning consumption
- maintenance
- cleaning
- parking
- signage
- furniture
- security deposits
- VAT
Two offices advertised at a similar monthly rent can have significantly different total operating costs.
Parking Should Still Be Checked Carefully
Parking remains one of the most important practical questions when renting an office anywhere around Malta’s central and coastal areas. Even when a commercial building has access to parking, prospective tenants should not assume that spaces are automatically included with every office.
Before signing a lease at 33 Creekside or another Gżira business centre, confirm:
- How many parking spaces are allocated to the office.
- Whether spaces are included in the quoted rent.
- Whether additional spaces can be rented separately.
- Where employees without allocated parking normally park.
- Whether visitor parking is available.
- Whether bicycle or scooter parking is provided.
- How easy it is to enter and leave the area during peak commuting times.
For a company with 20 employees, the difference between two and ten available parking spaces can have a greater effect on employees’ daily experience than relatively small differences in office rent.
What to Check During a Viewing at 33 Creekside
When viewing an available office at 33 Creekside Business Centre, check:
- Usable internal office space: Confirm how much of the quoted square metre figure is genuinely usable office space.
- Desk capacity: Ask how many employees can realistically work in the office rather than relying simply on its total area.
- Natural light: Inspect window exposure and natural light throughout the workspace.
- Office layout: Determine whether the unit is open-plan or already divided into meeting rooms, management offices and breakout areas.
- Air conditioning: Establish whether the system is independent and how consumption and maintenance are charged.
- Internet infrastructure: Companies dependent on cloud systems, payments, customer support or online platforms should investigate available providers, fibre connectivity and redundancy.
- Back-up power: Ask whether the building or individual office has generator or UPS provision and exactly which systems remain operational during a power interruption.
- Parking: Confirm the number, location and cost of spaces allocated to the office.
- Access hours: Businesses operating internationally should check whether employees can access the office outside conventional working hours.
- Signage and branding: Check what company signage can be displayed at the entrance, reception area and office itself.
- Common-area charges: Ask for a complete list of additional costs before comparing the property with alternatives.
- Lease flexibility: Confirm the minimum lease period, deposit, notice period and whether expansion within the building could be possible.
PRO TIP: Visit the office at approximately the same time employees would normally arrive in the morning. Traffic, parking availability and noise levels can look very different at 8:30am compared with a quiet mid-afternoon viewing.
