Technology Company Offices for Rent in NYC

New York City has a large and varied technology sector, covering software, fintech, media technology, e-commerce and artificial intelligence. This page lists office space suited to technology companies in Manhattan, from small startup suites to full floors, as direct leases and subleases.

Where Technology Companies Locate

The Flatiron District and Union Square were the first centre of the city's tech scene, once known as Silicon Alley, and are still popular with startups and growing companies. Chelsea and Hudson Square attract larger technology and media firms, and Hudson Yards offers new towers with large floors. Fintech companies often choose the Financial District to be close to banks and exchanges. Together these areas form much of Midtown South.

Why These Neighborhoods

Midtown South and the West Side offer converted loft buildings with large windows and high ceilings, as well as new buildings with modern systems. They are close to universities, restaurants and a young workforce, which helps companies recruit.

What Technology Companies Look For in an Office

• Open, flexible floor plates with room for collaboration areas and a few private offices.
• Fast, redundant internet connectivity from more than one provider.
• Enough power and cooling for equipment rooms.
• Shared amenities such as kitchens, event space and bike storage.
• Flexibility: room to expand within the building, or a shorter term while headcount is changing.

Direct Leases, Subleases and Prebuilt Space

Early-stage companies often start in coworking or a prebuilt suite, move to a sublease when the team grows, and sign a direct lease once headcount is stable. Subleases from other technology companies often come furnished and wired, which can make a move fast and inexpensive, but the remaining term has to fit the company's plans.

Transit and Access

Union Square is served by the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W trains, and the Flatiron District by the R, W, F, M and 6 lines along Broadway, Sixth Avenue and Park Avenue South. Hudson Square is served by the 1, C and E trains, Hudson Yards by the 7 train, and PATH trains to New Jersey stop along Sixth Avenue.

How a Tenant Broker Helps

We represent the tenant, not the landlord, at no cost to you. We search direct, sublease and prebuilt space, check connectivity and building systems, and negotiate the terms a growing company needs: expansion rights, the right to sublet, a shorter term, and a build-out allowance or free rent.
