This is the first edition of the SquareFoot NYC Office Price Index: the median asking price for serviced office space, per person per month, by submarket — computed from every currently-listed, priced space we track (n=158 this month). It publishes monthly. Numbers are operator asking prices, not negotiated rates.
| Submarket | Median $/person/mo | Listings sampled |
|---|---|---|
| New York City (all) | $666 | 158 |
| Brooklyn | $500 | 9 |
| Bryant Park | $599 | 5 |
| Manhattan (other) | $643 | 27 |
| Grand Central | $650 | 13 |
| Midtown West | $659 | 5 |
| SoHo | $700 | 6 |
| Midtown East | $725 | 8 |
| Financial District | $800 | 13 |
| Midtown (Plaza District) | $1,000 | 5 |
| Chelsea | $1,106 | 8 |
The middle half of the citywide market falls between $519 and $920 per person.

The Brooklyn discount is real and stable. At $500, Brooklyn prices 25% under the citywide median — the widest value gap in the market.
Grand Central is Midtown’s value pocket. $650 against Midtown East’s $725 and the Plaza District’s $1,000, with better transit than either.
Chelsea commands the premium. At $1,106, Chelsea asks more than double Brooklyn — a creative-industry cluster effect, not a quality gap.
