Commercial Lofts in NYC

Commercial Lofts in NYC

Commercial lofts are in strong demand as a result of the expansion of the media and tech industries. In fact, Midtown South  with its high concentration of commercial lofts, had a vacancy rate of 6.9% and average rents of $54.33 PSF at the end of 2013. Big drivers of the commercial loft market include the need for space that encourages creativity and collaboration (light, high ceilings, open floors) as well as a clustering of like-minded companies. Twitter’s leasing of a 140,000 SF at 245 West 17th Street will have a magnetic pull. 

 

 

 

Commercial Lofts intro

Most commercial lofts are in Class C or B buildings, accessible 24/7 and have a small lobby which may be attended. Many offer leases with a modified gross rent. That means in addition to rent and electricity expense, there may be additional charges for water, sprinkler, guard, trash removal and cleaning. Lofts are either offered in an “as is” condition or with limited work and/or a cash contribution for improvements. Attention should be paid to the sufficiency of the infrastructure in commercial lofts- particularly elevators, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and telecom capacities
