Manhattan Office Leasing Report for Business Owners, Q3 2022

Manhattan Office Leasing If you’re a business owner in the market for new office space, then you’ll want to take a look at this report on NYC office leasing activity. The data in this report will give you an idea of what to expect in terms of rental prices and availability. Keep reading to find out more!

 

 

The Partnership for New York City conducted surveyed 160 major Manhattan employers between August 29 and September 12, 2020 to gauge the extent to which employees have returned to the office or are still working remotely. Key take-aways include:

• 49% of office workers are currently at the workplace on an average weekday, up from 38% in April.

• Only 9% are in  the office five days a week.

• Return to office rates are increasing and 54% of workers are expected in the office on an average weekday in January 2023.

• 77% of employers indicated a hybrid office schedule will be their predominant post-pandemic policy, largely in response to employee preference.

Employers remain committed to staying in New York City: 54% expect their office employee headcount will increase or stay the same over the next five years; only 10% expect a decline. Moreover, most do not have plans to reduce their real estate footprint in the city at this time despite the increase in days of remote work.

Insider’s View on Manhattan Office Leasing
  1. Office Tenants continue to have the advantage when negotiating new leases and lease renewals.
  2. There is fierce competition among property owners to secure new business and retain existing Tenants.
  3. Successful companies are taking advantage of the current environment by leasing high quality office space in         amenity-rich buildings at favorable terms.
  4. Class A and “in demand” properties are competing by offering enhanced Tenant Incentives. These include rent concessions (the free rent period) and cash contributions used for the construction of new offices.
  5. Lower quality properties are offering rent discounts.
  6. Pragmatic Landlords are using different strategies to motivate leasing:

(a) Upgrading building public areas.

(b) Applying Covid-19 health protocols such as enhanced ventilation, air filtration, touchless entry and frequent cleaning.

(c) Pre-building modern move-in ready office suites.

(d) Offering flexible leases with shorter terms.

(e) Delivering office space fully furnished with an internet connection.

(f) Installing popular building amenities such as a conference center, quick service dining, and a fitness/wellness center.

(g) Providing a co-working facility as a service to existing Tenants and to attract new business.
