SPACE DESCRIPTION

Your Own Office - For Half of the Week

Part Time Shared Office Available 5 Days/Week

After 12:45 (Mon-Thurs) and all day Friday

Here's an unusual twist on the shared office concept.  An attorney subleases an office from a CPA firm in the Chanin Building.  This attorney comes into the office every day, but also leaves every day at 12:45.  The fractional portion of is sublease that is being offered is full time occupancy, after 12:45 in the afternoon on Monday through Thursday, and the office is available all day on Friday (and Weekend).

  • Legal address for your practice
  • Building access pass
  • Key to suite
  • Desk to be cleared after each occupancy.  Both co-tenants will never be present at the same time
  • Wall hangings & small items by mutual consent
  • Not jointly/separately liable - only responsible for your obligation

Midtown Facts

Legal Office Sublets in Midtown

Midtown is the largest and most established concentration of law firm offices in New York City. It consistently produces individual office and small office block sublets as firms adjust staffing, restructure partnerships, or carry more space than current operations require.

For lawyers and law firms, Midtown remains the default professional setting—recognizable, stable, and operationally straightforward.


Market Signal
Midtown office conditions are currently tightening relative to early 2025, contributing to more selective sublet availability as law firms absorb excess space and consolidate footprints.


Why Midtown Generates Ongoing Law Firm Sublets

Midtown’s scale and tenancy profile make subletting routine rather than exceptional:

  • Long-standing law firm leases with built-out private offices

  • Firms maintaining Midtown addresses while reducing square footage

  • Partner or practice group changes that leave surplus offices

  • Traditional office layouts favoring individual rooms

These conditions produce move-in-ready offices inside operating law firms, often shared quietly between principals.


Who Midtown Office Sublets Are Best Suited For

Midtown sublets are commonly used by:

  • Solo attorneys and boutique law firms

  • Established practices seeking continuity without a long lease

  • Firms maintaining a central New York presence

  • Lawyers between longer-term office commitments

The market is supplied and absorbed primarily by small and mid-sized law firms dealing directly with one another.


Principals-Only Office Sharing in Midtown

Midtown office sublets transact most efficiently when handled directly. LookingForSpace.com enables:

  • Listings posted by law firms and office principals

  • Direct communication without intermediaries

  • Faster alignment on terms, fit, and timing

This mirrors how Midtown law firm offices are actually shared.


Submarkets Within Midtown

Listings may reference submarkets for added context, such as:

  • Grand Central

  • Rockefeller Center

  • Penn Plaza / Garment District

  • Times Square

  • Columbus Circle

  • Hudson Yards

  • Insurance District

These references are descriptive only. Midtown remains the sole searchable neighborhood designation.
