Boasting nearly 4,000 individual buildings and 545 million square feet of NYC office space, the New York commercial real estate market is one of the largest in the world. In such a vast marketplace of commercial properties, prospective tenants can find the search for office space in Manhattan to be a daunting task. 

Are you looking to rent retail space for a store, boutique or restaurant in New York City? You probably realize that Manhattan retail rents are much greater than in other US cities.  The asking per square foot rent for retail space for a high traffic Avenue location can exceed $1,000 per Square Foot. 

Some business owners assume that contacting multiple commercial real estate agencies is better than seeking the services of one broker, thinking that this increases the number of properties they visit. While this makes sense in some ways, it is often not the case, especially in Manhattan.
