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.

NYC storefront vacancy report: every borough, neighborhood and street, by year
Source: NYC Department of Finance, Storefronts Reported Vacant or Not (Local Law 157), annual filings, pulled 2026-10-16. Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31. Neighborhood figures count storefronts near the neighborhood's commercial core, the same area as the building figures on this page. A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.

Questions about retail space in SoHo
Is there retail space for lease in SoHo right now?
No retail space for lease in SoHo is listed on Leasemark right now. 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 retail space cost in SoHo?
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 SoHo 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 retail space in SoHo 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 much retail space is there in SoHo?
New York City's PLUTO tax lot data (26v2) records about 3.6 million square feet of retail floor area across 698 properties in the part of SoHo Leasemark covers. The largest by that measure is 504 Broadway, at about 122,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently for lease.
How many storefronts are vacant in SoHo?
Owners registered 866 ground- and second-floor storefronts in the part of SoHo Leasemark covers for the end of 2025, and 75 of them (8.7%) stood vacant on December 31, 2025, against 9.2% citywide and 8.3% here a year earlier. The most storefronts are on West Broadway (89) and Broadway (87). A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.
Which large buildings in SoHo have a vacant storefront?
Owners of 4 of the 36 large buildings Leasemark tracks in SoHo with registered storefronts reported at least one vacant on December 31, 2025, 2 of them at 3 or more year ends in a row. The most vacant: 120 Wooster Street (3 of 13 storefronts), 100 Avenue of the Americas (1 of 1 storefronts) and 130 Prince Street (1 of 4 storefronts). Each building's page shows its filings by year. A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.

Nine subway stations sit within about 0.5 mi of SoHo's commercial core, served by the 1, 6, A, B, C, D, E, F, J, M, N, Q, R, W and Z trains. The closest is Canal St (1), roughly 4 minutes on foot; then Spring St (C E), Canal St (A C E), Canal St (6 J N Q R W Z), Prince St (R W), Spring St (6), Franklin St (1) and 2 more. Walking times are straight-line estimates from MTA station data.
Do tenants in SoHo pay the NYC Commercial Rent Tax?
Yes, for larger leases. SoHo 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.
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.
