Source: NYC Department of Finance, Property Valuation and Assessment Data, 2026/27 roll, pulled 2026-10-11. Estimates are the taxable value after exemptions times the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest the city lists), divided by the building's floor area in PLUTO. They leave out abatements such as ICAP, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so actual bills differ. Large buildings only (35,000 SF and up in Staten Island).

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.

How much are commercial property taxes in Stapleton?
On the Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll, the 5 large commercial buildings Leasemark tracks in Stapleton that pay property tax come to a median of about $3.40 per square foot of floor area a year, with the middle half between $3.31 and $3.75. That is the taxable value after exemptions times the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest the city lists), before abatements such as ICAP.

Many office leases pass a tenant's share of increases over a base year through as additional rent.
How much build-out work is happening in Stapleton?
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 3 interior build-outs in 2 of the 6 large commercial buildings Leasemark tracks in Stapleton, with work permitted on 2 floors in all. The most were at 364 Bay Street (2 build-outs). A build-out here is interior work on the same floors (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers and the like) first permitted within 120 days. New interior work usually follows a lease, so it is a rough sign of where tenants are moving in, but a permit does not say who the work is for.
Do tenants in Stapleton pay the NYC Commercial Rent Tax?
No. The Commercial Rent Tax only applies to space in Manhattan below 96th Street. It was repealed for Staten Island, so a commercial lease in Stapleton does not pay it at any rent.
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.
