Commercial office space web site with no charge to clients.
TODAY YOU HAVE REAL CHOICES!
Get current listings within 2 hours from the #1 resource for office space in New York City. With MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE,® you'll be escorted by a commercial real estate professional to view a wide variety of spaces, while you can remain focused on your business (instead wasting time pouring over "less-than-desirable" spaces). After all, it's your business we strive to improve through image, layout, and functionality. Online services are typically out-of-date, because they (a) contain stale listings and (b) don't meet your specific requirements. HOW CAN THEY? Online databases are not monitored for Tenant suitability-- and you'll end up paying more rent!
Before ANYONE in the NYC real estate industry even considered supplying what's termed "valued-added marketing," we began with the premise that our clients ALWAYS come first. Accordingly, this site is designed to help commercial tenants quickly identify 1500 to 50,000sf of MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® proprietary retail, medical, loft, non-profit and office space in New York City. To accomplish this, you'll receive up-to-date listings, photos and floor plans within 2 hours, then be personally escorted to view an excellent selection of spaces. Just complete the brief form at Space Survey, Retail & Medical or Non Profit. And please take a moment to read the letter of recommendation at the left side of this page describing the quality and value of our services from a $20BB multinational company.
Just 5 days!
If you allow us just 5 business days to find your ideal space, this will avoid being contacted by a plethora of agents, who would otherwise inundate landlords with calls and actually make it more difficult to show space and obtain the best rent (because it leaves the false impression that demand is greater than it actually is). Our goal is to find you the very best space, at the lowest price in the most suitable building. If we can’t do that, then, by all means, feel free to contact as many brokers as you like. But under all market conditions, we can save you money, obtain concessions and Tenant Improvements without you being harassed by agents more interested in earning a commission than protecting your interests-- all AT NO COST TO YOU!
Need less than 1,000rsf? View this New York Times article which describes the variety of office suites available, a prudent alternative to smaller companies or those opening a New York City office for the first time. We never pressure clients into space that doesn’t make sense for them, from a financial or operational perspective. We’ve always been in for the long run and place clients’ interests above any desire to make a “quick buck.” That sort of approach is not only ethically repugnant, but clearly short sighted.
In 1998, we established a commercial real estate division by the name MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE.® At the time, virtually no one advertised the leasing or selling of commercial real estate in New York City using the name “MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ®" nor did anyone conduct business under that name. Since then, however, hordes of “want-to-bes” have tried to use our federally registered service mark in advertising or attempted to trade off our success as a tenant-only brokerage in New York City. But don’t be deceived—there’s only ONE MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® that can help you find the Right Space at the Right Price.™

WE WORK WITH THE BEST
We typically are contacted by clients with annual revenue of $100K to $20BB. One recent client based in Sweden has been in business for over 130 years and owns companies in the US and Europe. The company chose us because we negotiated the lowest rent with the most concessions; recommended superlative legal and architectural services; and oversaw the entire process, including lease review with the attorney (to ensure all business issues agreed upon were incorporated and coordinated with the architect).
STATE OF THE MARKET
The financial market uncertainties have begun to stabilize and lowered rents in all Submarkets (except SoHo) offer an excellent opportunity for favorable, long term leases (the overall vacancy rate in Manhattan is currently approximately 11%). You can read the details of the Commercial Revitalization Program by following these links:

Midtown South MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® proprietary vacancy rate is 11% ($49/sf average).
Midtown MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® proprietary vacancy rates have increased and thus rents have reduced substantially over the past two years. Rents have now begun to stabilize, however, and in some instances, increased (for smaller, well appointed space).
Financial Incentives: MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® designates the most appropriate brokerage which can help you take advantage of lower rents, tax exemptions and available subsidies. It is, currently, an opportunistic time for tenants to obtain long term leases at reduced rents with more generous concessions.
BACKGROUND
MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® was established in 1998 and is today the #1 resource for retail, non-profit, medical and office space in New York City. Clients are offered a wide selection of lease or purchase options, obtain the finest space and negotiate the most favorable terms within weeks, not months. The CEO of MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® is J. Lawrence Zegarac, a licensed real estate broker and active member of the California (www.calbar.org) and New York State bar associations. For over 25 years, Mr. Zegarac has successfully represented commercial clients in Asia, Europe and North America in contract and lease negotiations. He has conducted business with the best (and worst) commercial office space brokers in New York City and personally selects the brokerage which will best fulfill your needs, eliminating any guesswork.
THE DIFFERENCE
Because a licensed real estate broker negotiates the business terms of any lease or sublease, that critical job is not delegated to an affiliate or agent-in-training, as is the case with many brokerages; knows the commercial real estate market, each building, the asking and taking rents; and the leverage your company can exert through the intelligent use of financials, company brochures, etc. With this expertise, significant concessions can be obtained on your behalf from the widest selection of available space through the use of MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE. ®
THE PROCESS
MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® is the first step to provide professional brokerage services that others can only hope to. MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® approaches each client individually, assesses its space needs (present and future), and then has an extensive, proprietary Survey of ALL available space in locations identified by the client, except those buildings owned by unsavory landlords. In addition, MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® does not attempt to influence prospective tenants to lease larger space or those with a longer terms (as other brokerages often do, simply to make more money.)
Once a Space Survey is prepared, clients typically select 6-12 spaces they’d like to see. MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® or its designated broker will contact building agents to obtain additional information to determine whether the spaces are, in fact, suitable and uncover any potential hidden charges or issues. MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® or its designated broker will then add any spaces that may be newer listings or unlisted spaces which could potentially fit the client’s needs. It normally takes 2-3 days for MANHATTAN OFFICE SPACE ® or its designated broker to arrange showings, after a printed itinerary is emailed to the client and returned identifying spaces of interest.
