Questions about office space in Midwood
How much does office space cost in Midwood?
Pricing depends on building class, floor, condition and lease length. Post a requirement with your budget and Leasemark will match you with spaces that fit it as they are listed.
How do I find office space in Midwood 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.
How is an office sublease in Midwood different from a direct lease?
You rent the space from the company that leases it now rather than from the landlord, for part of that company's remaining term. Subleases often come built out and furnished, run shorter than a direct lease and usually ask less than comparable direct space. The landlord has to consent in writing before anyone moves in, and the sublease ends when the lease above it does. Leasemark matches sublease listings with tenants looking to lease or sublease.
Can I sublease my office space in Midwood?
Usually, with your landlord's written consent: most New York office leases require it, and many let the landlord take the space back instead (recapture) or claim a share of any rent above what you pay. You stay liable under your own lease while the subtenant is in. Read the subletting clause first, then list the space for free on Leasemark, where it is matched against every active requirement for this kind of space.
How much office space is there in Midwood?
New York City's PLUTO tax lot data (26v2) records about 1.5 million square feet of office floor area across 212 properties in the part of Midwood Leasemark covers. The largest by that measure is 1538 Coney Island Avenue, at about 84,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently for sublease.
What subway lines serve Midwood?
Three subway stations sit within about 0.7 mi of Midwood's commercial core, served by the Q train. The closest is Avenue J (Q), roughly 4 minutes on foot; then Avenue H (Q) and Avenue M (Q). Walking times are straight-line estimates from MTA station data.
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.
