Posting carries these details into the listing form. On Leasemark tenants reach you through an intro you accept, so your number stays private until then.

What to put in a commercial space ad

  1. Lead with size, type and place. "1,200 SF retail space for lease in Williamsburg" answers the three things a tenant scans for before anything else.
  2. State the rent the way the market reads it. Dollars per square foot per year, plus the monthly figure. Say what it includes: see gross vs net leases, and use the commercial rent calculator to check the math.
  3. Measure the way leases are written. Most New York rents are charged on rentable square feet, which are larger than the usable space: rentable vs usable square feet.
  4. Give a date. "Available now" or a month and year. Tenants plan moves months ahead.
  5. List the features that decide fit. Frontage, a corner, ceiling height, venting, loading, power, outdoor space. One line each beats a paragraph of adjectives.
  6. Add photos. Wide daylight shots of the empty space, the storefront from the street and the entrance. For retail and restaurants, check that the certificate of occupancy allows the uses you suggest: retail lease terms in New York.

Questions

How do I advertise commercial space for rent?

Write one clear ad and post it where tenants and their brokers look: a headline with the size, the type of space and the neighborhood, the asking rent, when it is available, the features tenants filter on, and good photos. On Leasemark you can post it for free, and it is matched against tenant requirements as they come in, so you see who fits instead of waiting for calls.

What should a commercial space for rent ad include?

The size in square feet, the asking rent (in New York, per square foot per year, with the monthly figure for smaller spaces), the address or at least the neighborhood, the date it is available, what the rent includes, and the features that decide fit: street frontage and a corner for retail, a vented kitchen for restaurants, loading and drive-in doors for warehouses, a pre-built layout and subway access for offices. Daylight photos of the space and the storefront from the street help most.

Should the rent be per square foot or per month?

Give both when you can. New York asking rents are quoted in dollars per square foot per year, which is what brokers compare, while many small business owners think in dollars a month. 1,200 SF at $75 per SF a year is $90,000 a year, or $7,500 a month; the template works out the monthly figure for you.

Is it free to list commercial space on Leasemark?

Yes. Listing space, posting a requirement, matching and intros are free, and listing stays free. Tenants reach you through a double opt-in intro: you see the requirement first, and contact details are shared only when both sides say yes.

Do I need a broker to list my commercial space?

No. Owners can list their own space on Leasemark, and so can brokers. Leasemark is a marketplace, not a broker, and charges no commission. Whether to hire a listing broker is your call: one can help price the space and screen tenants, at the cost of a commission when a lease is signed.
