No. Spacebly connects you directly to operators and landlords across New York, so you keep negotiation leverage, see real-time availability and pricing, and pay nothing in broker fees. Brokers typically take 10–15% of year-one rent — that's money that stays in your business when you go direct.

What lease lengths are available in New York?

Flexible/serviced terms start at one month and run to 36 months. Managed and conventional leases typically run 3–10 years with break clauses. New York has one of the most mature flex markets (especially strong for finance, big tech and media), so even smaller teams can secure short, transparent terms.

How fast can I move into a new office in New York?

Serviced and managed spaces in New York can be move-in ready within 1–2 weeks. Custom fit-outs and conventional leases take longer (8–16 weeks). Going direct through Spacebly typically shortens the whole process by 3–4 weeks versus a brokered search.

Is hybrid working changing the office market in New York?

Yes — demand has shifted firmly toward flexible, high-amenity space with strong meeting-room capacity and shorter terms. New York operators have responded with hospitality-grade fit-outs, on-demand meeting rooms, and per-desk pricing that scales with hybrid headcount.
