5 Shared Law Offices To Start The Summer Sublet Season

People think the summer months result in a lull for commercial real estate, because all of the decision makers are "away". 

Well, I'm here and you're there and the only time I expect we will be away is in the first week of June or the last week of August, because we have jobs!

That leaves us with 12 working weeks to find the best shared office space for a September 1 move-in date.  And subleases expire throughout the year - there is no particular "season" for renting.  There is a random flow of expirations based more on the start month than any other factor.  Leases simply expire throughout the entire calendar and therefore no reason exists for a summer slowdown in the coming months.

The listings on LookingForSpace.com are predominantly available on an immediate basis, and they are vacant or about to become vacant by the first of next month.  Accordingly it is realistic to expect that a sublessor would be willing to wait a month...but in most cases not more than a month for the new tenant to begin occupancy and start paying the rent.

Here are 5 listings to consider in Midtown Manhattan.  Just click the address to see the full page of photographs, descriptions and contact information for the advertiser.
