Two opportunities to save
A better fit for your team.
A stronger position at the table.
The space you choose and the deal you negotiate both shape what your office really costs.
Pay for space you can use.
Plan around attendance, focused work, private conversations and meetings. Reduce unnecessary space costs while making room for how your company actually works.
Give landlords a reason to compete.
Seek competing proposals from suitable landlords. Compare rent, concessions and lease terms together, then use viable alternatives to inform a human-led negotiation.
- Base rent
- Free-rent periods
- Fit-out contributions
- Lease terms
Are you overpaying for your office?
Use Manhattan market research to question pricing before you sign. Compare suitable buildings and the whole deal to assess whether you may be overpaying.
A market average alone cannot tell you whether an offer is overpriced. Location, building quality, free rent, fit-out contributions and lease terms all affect value.
Review the market data and approachThe landlord’s agent starts with a building. We start with your requirements.
A landlord’s leasing agent markets that landlord’s building. This service starts with what your team needs and compares suitable options across landlords, giving you a broader basis for your decision.
Research-informed. Personally reviewed.
Build around the way your team works.
A company category is a useful starting point. Your consultation with Daniel confirms the work patterns and priorities that make your team different.
AI-assisted exploration, guided by your needs.
After review, AI-assisted planning uses company type, headcount, work patterns, privacy needs, meeting requirements, growth plans and available floor plans to explore layout options for your custom 3D concept.
Support focus as well as collaboration.
Workplace research informs the balance of focused work, private conversations, meetings and collaboration. Open-plan space has trade-offs, so the layout should reflect the work being done.

Data and approach
Use market data to question pricing
CBRE’s September 2026 publication covers August 2026 and reports Manhattan office asking rents and leasing activity. It is the latest Manhattan report located when checked on October 4, 2026.
Use the benchmark to frame questions about overpaying. A higher asking rent does not automatically mean an offer is overpriced, and a lower asking rent does not automatically mean good value. Compare suitable properties, concessions and total lease costs.
Review comparable asking rents alongside operating expenses, taxes, fit-out costs, escalations and concessions. The consultation considers suitable alternatives and the full lease proposal to help assess whether you may be overpaying.
CBRE: Manhattan Office Figures, September 2026 ↗The space starting point
We start at 165 rentable square feet per person, the global office and administrative average reported in JLL’s 2025 Occupancy Planning Benchmark. This is a broad planning reference, rather than a Manhattan requirement or a tailored recommendation.
Rentable area can include a share of common building areas. You can edit the estimate. Attendance, privacy, meeting needs, growth and the building’s floor plan can change the right size.
JLL: 2025 workplace benchmark ↗The planning process
This calculator estimates office space. It does not perform AI analysis. Your custom render and detailed strategy follow a review of your requirements, with suitable floor plans where available.
Harvard’s 2018 research examined two companies moving to open offices and found trade-offs in face-to-face interaction. It informs questions about privacy and collaboration, rather than promising a productivity outcome. Savings and lease terms depend on the space, landlord and negotiation.
