Plain-English guides to square footage, rent and lease terms in New York.
How much office space do you need per employee in 2026
For years, office planning started with one number: a fixed amount of square footage per person, multiplied by headcount.
Rentable vs usable square feet and the loss factor, explained
Most people who look at space in New York eventually notice that the square footage on the listing doesn't match the space they can actually use.
Gross vs net leases in NYC: what tenants actually pay
Most NYC tenants look at one number first: the asking rent per square foot. That number rarely tells you what you will actually pay each month.
