Shared New York Law Office Space Tightens Up

The New York City commercial office marketplace has seen an unbelievable "run up" in the past 12 months. Commercial office space rentals on a per sq. ft. basis are about to eclipse previous records and the demand for new office space - particularly in the small office sector - is unprecedented. You can look to the expansion of WeWork as the emblem of this trend, but the sad fact is that the small or solo practice has fewer and fewer options to find new office space in Manhattan with each passing month.

The trend started years ago when landlords sensing a strengthening commercial office space marketplace sought to displace smaller tenants and consolidate single floors to make them available to larger tenants. This sent smaller tenants to search for smaller spaces which were becoming a dwindling availability in midtown, except in a few buildings that still catered to smaller tenants, but in "B" or "C" building settings. It became very hard to find nice small space in midtown, which led to 2 trends:

First, the development of "Executive Suites", and next the push for Law Firms with extra offices to sublease them to other professionals as a way to offset bottom line rent expense for the firm as well as an opportunity to have more practitioners under one roof to potentially collaborate with.
