Owners of income-producing properties file a Real Property Income and Expense statement each year; gross income is everything a property collected in 2024 per square foot, as filed, with outlier and partial-year filers left out. It includes vacant space, concessions and older leases, so it is not an asking rent.

Walking times are straight-line estimates from the nearest point of Dumbo's commercial core (the same area as the building counts), so the street route is longer.

NYC Department of Buildings permits
Office build-outs in Dumbo
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 9 interior build-outs in 6 of the 16 office buildings Leasemark tracks in Dumbo, with work permitted on 9 floors in all. Their filed cost estimates add up to about $21 million.
Most build-outs, last 12 months
- 38% of the office buildings tracked here had a build-out, against 35% across Brooklyn.
Source: NYC Department of Buildings, DOB NOW: Build Approved Permits, pulled 2026-10-24 (permits issued through 2026-10-22). A build-out groups interior jobs (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers and the like) on the same floors first permitted within 120 days of each other, dated by its first permit. Only the large buildings Leasemark tracks count (35,000 SF and up), not every permit in the neighborhood. Costs are the estimates filed with the jobs. A permit does not say who the work is for.

Questions about office space in Dumbo
Is there office space for lease in Dumbo right now?
No office space for lease in Dumbo is listed on Leasemark right now. Post what you need 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 office space cost in Dumbo?
Leasemark has no asking rents posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Office buildings in Brooklyn collected a median $31.54 per square foot in 2024, and the middle half between $21.69 and $44.76, according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 720 filings). The city publishes these figures by borough, so this is Brooklyn as a whole, not Dumbo alone. 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 office space in Dumbo 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.
How much office space is there in Dumbo?
New York City's PLUTO tax lot data (26v2) records about 3.1 million square feet of office floor area across 34 properties in the part of Dumbo Leasemark covers. The largest by that measure is 20 Jay Street, at about 418,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently for lease.
What subway lines serve Dumbo?
Three subway stations sit within about 0.5 mi of Dumbo's commercial core, served by the 2, 3, A, C and F trains. The closest is York St (F), roughly 3 minutes on foot; then High St (A C) and Clark St (2 3). Walking times are straight-line estimates from MTA station data.
Are offices being built out in Dumbo?
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 9 interior build-outs in 6 of the 16 office buildings Leasemark tracks in Dumbo, with work permitted on 9 floors in all. Their filed cost estimates add up to about $21 million. The most were at 55 Water Street (4 build-outs). A build-out here is interior work on the same floors (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers and the like) first permitted within 120 days. New interior work usually follows a lease, so it is a rough sign of where tenants are moving in, but a permit does not say who the work is for.
Is it free to post on Leasemark?
Yes. Posting a space or a requirement is free. Contact details are only shared when both sides accept an intro.
