Other lots with a landmark
City records place a landmark on each of these lots, but not under the building's own name: the designation can cover another structure on the lot, a facade or an interior, or the building under an older name. Where the Commission's site list has no match, the flag comes from the city's tax lot file.

Questions about NYC landmark office buildings
Which large office buildings in NYC are landmarks?
Of the 1,059 large commercial buildings Leasemark tracks from city records, 73 are individual landmarks the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated under their own name, among them the Empire State Building, the Starrett-Lehigh Building, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, the Equitable Building and the Citicorp Center. 29 more lots carry a landmark on another structure or an interior, and 100 buildings stand inside historic districts.
What is the oldest landmark building on this list?
The Domino Sugar Filter House at 292 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, completed in 1884 and designed by Theodore A. Havemeyer, Thomas Winslow, J. E. James. The Commission designated it a landmark in 2007.
What is the most common architectural style among NYC landmark office buildings?
Among the landmarks here whose records name a style, Art Deco leads with 14, followed by Beaux-Arts with 6, Modern with 6 and neo-Gothic with 6. The Commission's records keep each designation report's own wording, so neo-Renaissance and Renaissance Revival count separately.
Can you lease office space in a landmark building?
Yes. Designation does not decide who can occupy a building or what rent it asks. It regulates physical change: work on a designated exterior or a designated interior needs a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission, including many storefront, window and signage changes. Buildings inside a historic district go through the Commission for exterior work the same way.
What is a historic district?
An area the Landmarks Preservation Commission designates as a whole. Every building inside it is protected, not only the individual landmarks, so exterior changes and new signage go through the Commission. 100 of the large commercial buildings on Leasemark stand in 18 historic districts, the most in the Ladies' Mile Historic District with 32.
Where does this data come from?
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's Individual Landmark Sites and its Individual Landmark and Historic District Building Database, both on NYC Open Data, joined to the city's PLUTO tax lot file by tax lot number. Historic districts and the other landmark flags come from PLUTO 26v2. Floor areas are the city's estimates for whole buildings, not space that is available.
Source: NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, Individual Landmark Sites and Individual Landmark and Historic District Building Database on NYC Open Data, pulled 2026-09-26; historic districts and tax lot landmark flags from NYC Department of City Planning, PLUTO 26v2. The list covers the large commercial buildings on Leasemark, not every landmark in the city.
