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.

Questions about office space in Jamaica
Is there office space for sale in Jamaica right now?
No office space for sale in Jamaica is listed on Leasemark right now. Post what you want to buy 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 prices posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Owners of office buildings in Queens reported a median $31.30 of gross income and $8.35 of operating expense per square foot for 2024 (middle half of income: $21.15 to $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.
