NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) - Office rents in the prized Flatiron, Grand Central and Northeast Midtown districts will probably level off.
That's what a quarter of top New York City commercial property executives said in the latest Marks Paneth Gotham Commercial Real Estate Monitor, a survey of 100-plus owners and managers, brokers and agents, attorneys and accountants specializing in the space.
Office space will probably skyrocket in selected emerging office locations -- the Garment Center/Herald Square, Downtown Brooklyn and Hell's Kitchen/Far West Side. That's what 16%, 13% and 12% of executives said, respectively.
"The subtext may be that businesses will gain a bit more leverage as they negotiate leases in the white-shoe parts of Midtown and the putatively red-hot Flatiron/Midtown South district," said William H. Jennings, Partner-in-Charge of the Real Estate Group at Marks Paneth.
