A local resource to help you navigate the search process from lease to signed.
Start MatchingThese businesses are using TenantBase to search for commercial space in the following categories. Office leads active demand at 58.38%, retail at 19.41%, flex/industrial at 17.35%, and warehouse at 3.82% — based on 680 active TenantBase tenant searches in New York City over the past 90 days.

Get Matched Now →As of Q2 2026, Manhattan's average office asking rent was $80.17 per square foot, according to CBRE, with availability at 14.4% — down roughly 70 basis points quarter over quarter and 310 basis points year over year. Class A and trophy space in top submarkets commands significantly more. A New York City partner broker can pull current asking rates for the specific submarket and size range you need.
Prime Manhattan retail corridors were near multi-decade-low vacancy in Q2 2026, with average asking rents around $678/SF (CBRE). Conditions outside prime corridors are far more uneven — a June 2026 report counted roughly 15,700 vacant storefronts citywide. Outer-borough industrial space in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx averaged $28.59/SF NNN as of Q1 2026 (WareCRE), a premium over the citywide industrial average.
Based on 680 active TenantBase tenant searches over the past 90 days, office leads active demand in New York City at 58.38% (397 of 680), followed by retail at 19.41% (132 of 680), flex/industrial at 17.35% (118 of 680), warehouse at 3.82% (26 of 680), and medical at 1.03% (7 of 680). TenantBase's own Q2 2026 New York City market report separately publishes an overall demand-mix split across a different, 3-category scheme on a much larger 1,238-search snapshot (Office 42.38%, Retail/Storefront 41.57%, Warehouse/Industrial 16.05%) that doesn't track Flex or Medical on their own — both sources are presented here rather than treated as directly comparable.
TenantBase's coverage of New York City spans neighborhoods including Midtown, Midtown South, the Financial District, SoHo, and Long Island City in Queens, along with active submarkets across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Live tenant searches on the platform carry their own submarket tags spanning all five boroughs.
It depends on the corridor. Prime Manhattan retail corridors are near multi-decade-low vacancy with average asking rents around $678 per square foot (CBRE, Q2 2026), while citywide reporting outside those prime strips shows a far more uneven picture, including thousands of vacant storefronts in secondary corridors.
Plan on roughly 150–250 square feet per employee for a standard mixed layout: dense, open floor plans run 100–150 SF per person, while spacious or private-office-heavy layouts run 250–350 SF per person. A 10-person team typically needs about 1,500–2,500 SF. A New York City partner broker can help you right-size before touring so you don't pay for space you won't use.
Timelines vary by property type and size, but most New York City tenants move from initial search to signed lease in roughly 60–120 days when working with a dedicated tenant representation partner broker; smaller offices and retail spaces can move faster, while larger or highly built-out spaces take longer.
A New York City tenant representation broker works exclusively for a business searching for commercial space — surveying the local market, touring options, and negotiating lease terms on the tenant's behalf, rather than the landlord's, across Manhattan and the outer boroughs. This is different from a listing agent, who represents the landlord and is focused on leasing one specific building; a tenant rep has no incentive to favor any one property.
Yes. Coworking, executive suites, and some flex and creative spaces across the city offer terms under a year, alongside traditional multi-year leases, giving growing companies flexibility while they scale.
You're not required to use one, but a tenant representation broker works exclusively for you — not the landlord — and typically costs you nothing, since landlords already budget for the leasing commission. TenantBase connects you with a New York City partner broker who handles tours, comparisons, and negotiation on your behalf at no cost.
No. Most tenant rep brokers in the TenantBase partner network work across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the other boroughs, so one broker can typically manage a citywide search on your behalf.
TenantBase is a technology platform built for commercial tenants. It pairs a searchable, broker-sourced database of office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and medical space with a network of independently licensed local partner brokers — you browse available New York City space by property type and neighborhood, get matched with a local partner broker, tour the spaces that fit, and get support through negotiation and signing, all at no cost to the tenant.
