Times Square Is Having Trouble Hanging On to Office Workers
Quote:
New York’s Times Square, which moved past its era of porn and squalor by luring companies to new skyscrapers, now faces defections by some of those very tenants.
The most recent is Ernst & Young LLP. Its departure from 5 Times Square, announced this month, may leave the tower’s million or so square feet of office space empty. The neighborhood’s effective office rents -- the rents that tenants actually pay, after concessions -- have fallen by 1 percent annually for two years, according to CoStar Group Inc., a research firm that tracks office leasing.
One problem is a rise in tourism and a proliferation of panhandlers. Some are dressed as Elmo and Spider-Man; others, like the “desnudas,” are hardly dressed at all.
“It’s not ideal to wind through costumed characters on your way to work,” said Lauren Baker, New York City market analyst for CoStar. “There’s so much noise and commotion.” The neighborhood “obviously isn’t ideal for professional tenants,” she said.
Bumping into Elmo now and then may not seem like a deal breaker, but there’s plenty of competition around the city for tenants seeking space. Office construction in Manhattan is at a 30-year peak, with 15 million square feet to be added between this year and 2019, according to a study released last month by the New York Building Congress. All over Midtown, landlords have had to offer more in improvement allowances and concessions to compete, as tenants decamp for the Hudson Yards area on Manhattan’s West Side.
