Questions about the West Village
How much commercial space is there in the West Village?
New York City's PLUTO tax lot data (26v2) records about 2.7 million square feet of commercial floor area across 513 properties in the part of the West Village Leasemark covers, including about 547,000 square feet of office and about 1.2 million square feet of retail. The largest retail building by that measure is 226 West 4th Street, at about 22,000 square feet. That is the existing building stock, not space currently available.
What subway lines serve the West Village?
Five subway stations sit within about 0.5 mi of the West Village's commercial core, served by the 1, 2, 3, A, B, C, D, E, F, L and M trains. The closest is Christopher St-Stonewall (1), roughly 3 minutes on foot; then 14 St (1 2 3 F M L), 8 Av (L A C E), W 4 St-Wash Sq (A B C D E F M) and 18 St (1). Walking times are straight-line estimates from MTA station data.
Which subway stations in the West Village are accessible?
Three of the five stations within about 0.5 mi of the West Village's commercial core are fully accessible, per the MTA: 14 St (1 2 3 F M), 8 Av (L) and W 4 St-Wash Sq (A B C D E F M).
Do tenants in the West Village pay the NYC Commercial Rent Tax?
Yes, for larger leases. The West Village 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.
