Source: NYC Department of Finance, Storefronts Reported Vacant or Not (Local Law 157), annual filings, pulled 2026-10-09. Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31. Counts are the storefronts whose owners typed Grand Street in the registration, so a few with misspelled addresses are missing; each is placed in a neighborhood by its map point. The year before is shown only when both filings count about as many storefronts on the street. 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.

How do I find a storefront for lease on Grand Street?

Post what you need on Leasemark (size, budget and the neighborhoods along Grand Street) and owners and brokers with a fitting space are matched to you; nothing is shared until both sides accept the introduction. A storefront that stood vacant at the end of 2024 may since have leased, so walk the street too: many owners still put a sign in the window first.

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.
