From the broker

What we’re seeing in Union Square

Union Square’s biggest advantage is the commute: eight subway lines meet at 14th Street, which matters for teams hiring across Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey. A lot of what’s available is furnished sublease space, which can get a team into a quality installation quickly without the cost and wait of a new build-out.

Questions

Office space in this neighborhood: common questions

How much does office space cost in Union Square?

Asking rents for the spaces Nomad is showing in Union Square currently run $70–$150 per square foot per year, with a typical asking rent of about $95. For a full space that’s roughly $58K–$193K a month in base rent, before escalations, taxes and operating expenses. Final terms depend on the building, the condition of the space and the lease length.

What size offices are available in Union Square?

Listings Nomad is showing in Union Square range from about 7,400 to 18,200 rentable square feet, mostly subleases, with some direct leases. Most of what fits a growing team never reaches a listing site, so a Nomad Space Book also covers off-market options.

Is Union Square more expensive than Flatiron?

Right now, typical asking rents in Union Square (about $95/SF) are about the same as Flatiron (about $90/SF), based on Nomad’s live inventory in both. The gap depends on building class and condition, so comparing specific floors matters more than neighborhood averages.

Can you find furnished or sublease space in Union Square?

Yes. Nomad’s current listings include furnished options and subleases. A furnished sublease can get a team in quickly, usually for the rest of the existing tenant’s term.
