Source: NYC Department of Finance, Property Valuation and Assessment Data, 2026/27 roll, pulled 2026-10-16. Estimates are the taxable value after exemptions times the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest the city lists), divided by the building's floor area in PLUTO. They leave out abatements such as ICAP, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so actual bills differ. Large buildings only (35,000 SF and up in Manhattan).

How much are commercial property taxes in Harlem?
On the Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll, the 30 large commercial buildings Leasemark tracks in Harlem that pay property tax come to a median of about $9.45 per square foot of floor area a year, with the middle half between $6.63 and $12.19. That is the taxable value after exemptions times the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest the city lists), before abatements such as ICAP. The largest estimated bill is 450 West 126th Street, about $3.78 million a year. 4 more buildings are fully exempt. Many office leases pass a tenant's share of increases over a base year through as additional rent.
How much build-out work is happening in Harlem?
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 12 interior build-outs in 9 of the 34 large commercial buildings Leasemark tracks in Harlem, with work permitted on 9 floors in all. Their filed cost estimates add up to about $2.6 million. The most were at 100 West 125th Street (2 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.
Do tenants in Harlem pay the NYC Commercial Rent Tax?
No. Harlem is north of 96th Street, and the city repealed the Commercial Rent Tax for premises north of the center line of 96th Street, so a commercial lease here does not pay it at any rent. Space south of 96th Street does.
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.
