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.

Liquor licenses in Hudson Yards

How many places in Hudson Yards can serve drinks, how many are waiting on a license, and whether a new full liquor license here would face the 500-foot rule: the first thing to check before leasing a space for a bar or a restaurant with a full bar.

The 500-foot rule in Hudson Yards

A new full liquor license for drinking on site cannot be issued within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest (ABC Law, section 64). Here 72 of 77 full-liquor places have three or more others within 500 feet, so almost any new full liquor license here would need that hearing. Beer and wine licenses are not subject to the rule.

Counted by license; business names are not shown. Neighborhood figures count places near the neighborhood's commercial core, the same area as the restaurant figures above. Only licenses to drink on site count: full liquor for restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs and similar places, and beer and wine. Stores, boats and second bars of a licensed place are left out. The 500-foot figures count each place once (one holding two licenses is one place) and only places with a map point; distances run between those points, while the law measures from the nearest entrances, so treat them as an estimate.

Questions about restaurant space in Hudson Yards

Is there restaurant space for lease in Hudson Yards right now?

How much does restaurant space cost in Hudson Yards?

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 Hudson Yards 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 restaurant space in Hudson Yards that is not publicly listed?

The largest by that measure is 519 West 26th Street, at about 125,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently for lease.

How many restaurants are there in Hudson Yards?

The NYC Health Department had 197 restaurants and other food service places with an inspection on file in the part of Hudson Yards Leasemark covers as of October 2026, and 36 more had applied for a permit and were waiting for their first inspection.

32 food service places in the part of Hudson Yards Leasemark covers had their first pre-permit health inspection in the 12 months to October 23, 2026, 16% of the 197 open there.

The New York State Liquor Authority listed 80 active full liquor licenses and 9 beer and wine licenses for drinking on site in the part of Hudson Yards Leasemark covers as of October 23, 2026. 18 more applications for on-site licenses were waiting for a decision, 17 of them for full liquor.

Does the 500-foot rule apply to a new liquor license in Hudson Yards?

New York's 500-foot rule (Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, section 64) bars a new full liquor license for on-site drinking within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest. In the part of Hudson Yards Leasemark covers, 72 of the 77 places with a full liquor license (94%) have three or more others within 500 feet, so almost any new full liquor license here would need that hearing. A beer and wine license is not subject to the rule and does not count toward it. Distances here are between map points, so check the exact address before you sign a lease.

Do tenants in Hudson Yards pay the NYC Commercial Rent Tax?

Yes, for larger leases. Hudson Yards 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.
