What the budget means per month
At the $85/SF/yr budget ceiling, base rent would be about $56,667 to $85,000 a month for 8,000 SF to 12,000 SF. A lower rent per square foot would cost less.
Base rent only, before taxes, operating expenses, utilities or other lease charges. The calculator starts with one year, no increases and no concessions; adjust those terms for a specific space.
How the budget compares
Up to $85/SF a year is higher than what three in four Manhattan office buildings collected per square foot in 2024 (the top quarter starts at $74.58).
- This budget
- $85/SF/yr 63% above the median
- Median
- $52.08/SF/yr

These are buildings, not listings: whether a floor is free is up to each landlord. Average floor = floor area divided by floors in NYC Department of City Planning, PLUTO 26v2, so a tower's lower floors are usually larger and its upper floors smaller. Counted: the buildings we track (35,000 SF and up) that have 3 or more floors and are mostly office space.
