About the building

Chelsea's garment-era loft rows on West 26th and 27th: concrete or timber structures with 11-to-13-foot ceilings, oversized windows and full-floor identities, converted over the gallery decades into the neighborhood's default tech and design stock.

How much does 151 West 26th Street [12th Floor Penthouse] cost per month?

Asking rent is $56 per square foot per year. At 17,610 sq ft that is $986,160 annually, roughly $82,180 per month before electricity, which typically adds $2–4 per square foot per year. Rent is a starting point; free rent, improvement allowance and escalation caps are all negotiable.

How many people fit in 151 West 26th Street [12th Floor Penthouse]?

About 101 people at 175 sq ft each, which allows for meeting rooms, phone booths, a pantry and circulation. A denser open-plan layout could take 126; a layout with private offices would suit closer to 78.

Where exactly is it?

151 West 26th Street sits in Chelsea, Manhattan. Transit: A/C/E, 1, F/M at 14th and 23rd. Neighboring submarkets: Flatiron, Meatpacking, Hudson Yards. Gallery district turned tech corridor, between the High Line and Midtown South.

How does the rent compare to the rest of the market?

The median across Nomad's current New York availability is $75 per square foot per year, so this space sits about 25% below the median.

How quickly could a team move in?

A furnished or pre-built floor can be occupied two to four weeks after signing. If the space needs a custom fit-out, expect 10–16 weeks: two to three weeks design, three to four for permits and long-lead items, six to nine construction. Nomad runs both the lease and the buildout, so those phases can overlap.

Beyond rent, what is negotiable on a space like this?

Free-rent months, tenant-improvement allowance, escalation caps, security amount and form, expansion or renewal options, and the restoration clause. On a tenant-only mandate, all of them are argued for you.

What happens between an offer and keys?

Letter of intent, lease negotiation, then buildout or move-in. Furnished floors run two to four weeks after signing; custom fit-outs typically ten to sixteen. Starting design during lease negotiation compresses the calendar.
