Leasemark has no asking rents posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Retail buildings in Manhattan collected a median $64.71 per square foot in 2024, and the middle half between $38.35 and $104.91, according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 1,328 filings). The city publishes these figures by borough, so this is Manhattan as a whole, not the Financial District 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.

New York City's PLUTO tax lot data (26v2) records about 5.8 million square feet of retail floor area across 395 properties in the part of the Financial District Leasemark covers. The largest by that measure is 95 South Street, at about 242,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently for lease.

Owners registered 651 ground- and second-floor storefronts in the part of the Financial District Leasemark covers for the end of 2025, and 106 of them (16.3%) stood vacant on December 31, 2025, against 9.2% citywide and 16.9% here a year earlier. The most storefronts are on Broadway (77) and Fulton Street (56). A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.

Yes, for larger leases. The Financial District is in Manhattan below 96th Street, where the city's Commercial Rent Tax applies. A tenant owes it only when base rent for the space is $250,000 a year or more. The tax is 6% of base rent after a 35% reduction, so 3.9% of rent, with a sliding credit between $250,000 and $300,000, and the Small Business Tax Credit wipes it out for businesses with total income of $5 million or less and base rent under $500,000. Lower Manhattan has its own rules: stores south of Murray, Frankfort and Dover Streets and premises in the World Trade Center area pay nothing, and some new leases in eligible buildings south of Canal Street get a special reduction.
