It includes vacant space, concessions and older leases, so it is not an asking rent.

Questions about retail space in New York City
Is there retail space for sale in New York City right now?
No retail space for sale in New York City is listed on Leasemark right now. Post what you want to buy and Leasemark matches you the day a space that fits is listed; your contact details stay private until you accept an intro. Owners and brokers can list a space here for free.
How much does retail space cost in New York City?
Leasemark has no asking prices posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Owners of retail buildings in New York City reported a median $36.07 of gross income and $8.30 of operating expense per square foot for 2024 (middle half of income: $23.87 to $55.67), according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 9,629 filings). That is what buildings actually collected, with vacant space, concessions and leases signed years ago in the mix, so it is a baseline rather than a quote: a specific space's price depends on the building's class, floor, condition and the length of the lease.
How do I find retail space in New York City that is not publicly listed?
Post a requirement on Leasemark. Owners and listing brokers see what you need (without your contact details) and can respond with spaces, including ones that are not on the market yet. You choose who gets an intro.
