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.

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 Jamaica
Is there office space for lease in Jamaica right now?
No office space for lease in Jamaica is listed on Leasemark right now. Nearby on Leasemark: office space for lease at 13039 135th Rd in Richmond Hill (700 SF, $51.43/SF/yr). 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 Jamaica?
Leasemark has no asking rents posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Office buildings in Queens collected a median $31.30 per square foot in 2024, and the middle half between $21.15 and $42.74, according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 669 filings). The city publishes these figures by borough, so this is Queens as a whole, not Jamaica 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 Jamaica 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.

What subway lines serve Jamaica?

The closest is Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer (E J Z), roughly 1 minute on foot; then Parsons Blvd (F), Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport (E J Z), Sutphin Blvd (F) and 169 St (F).

Are offices being built out in Jamaica?
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 5 interior build-outs in 3 of the 16 office buildings Leasemark tracks in Jamaica, with work permitted on 4 floors in all.

A build-out here is interior work on the same floors (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers and the like) first permitted within 120 days.
