Office space in Lower Manhattan
The Financial District, the World Trade Center and Tribeca: Class A space at a Downtown discount.
Lower Manhattan, from the Financial District and the World Trade Center up to Tribeca, has become the value play of 2026. Class A space here still costs less all-in than comparable Midtown or Midtown South space, and the tenant mix has shifted.
American Express committed to all of 2 World Trade Center, and AI and fintech companies have followed. Floors are big, transit is unmatched, and concession packages are real.

From the broker
What we’re seeing in Lower Manhattan
Downtown is the value play right now. Class A buildings with large floors and unmatched transit still cost less all-in than comparable space in Midtown South, and the tenant mix has shifted toward tech, AI and fintech. For a team that’s flexible on neighborhood, it’s worth touring before you commit uptown.
