Media Company Offices for Rent in NYC

New York is a capital of television, publishing, advertising, music and digital media. This page lists office space in Manhattan suited to media companies, from small production and agency studios to full-floor headquarters, as direct leases and subleases.

Where Media Companies Locate

Midtown West and Times Square, including the area around Rockefeller Center with its long history in broadcasting, remain a centre for television, publishing and advertising. Hudson Square has become a major location for media and entertainment companies. Agencies and digital media firms favour the Flatiron District and Chelsea, and the World Trade Center area has also drawn media tenants.

Why These Neighborhoods

These areas offer buildings that suit creative work, from loft buildings with high ceilings and large windows to modern towers with large, open floors. They are close to the talent, clients, production houses and venues that media companies rely on.

What Media Companies Look For in an Office

• Open floor plates that allow collaborative work areas alongside a few private offices.
• Space that can host studios, editing suites or podcast rooms, with good sound isolation.
• Strong power and fast, redundant connectivity for production and streaming.
• Freight elevator and loading access for equipment and sets.
• Room for events, screenings and client presentations.

Direct Leases and Subleases

Large media companies usually sign long direct leases and build to suit. Agencies and production companies often find value in subleases and prebuilt space that is already wired and furnished, which allows a fast move and a shorter commitment while a project or account grows.

Transit and Access

Midtown West is served by the Times Square-42nd Street station, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Hudson Square is served by the 1, C and E trains, Chelsea and Flatiron by lines along Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Avenues and Broadway, and the World Trade Center by the PATH and most subway lines.

How a Tenant Broker Helps

We represent the tenant, not the landlord, and there is no fee to you. We find direct and sublease space that suits creative and production work, check power, sound, loading and after-hours access before you commit, and negotiate the rent, the build-out allowance and the flexibility to expand or sublet.
