How much does 2 Penn Plaza [Partial 17th Floor] cost per month?
Asking rent is $135 per square foot per year. At 5,070 sq ft that is $684,450 annually, roughly $57,038 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 2 Penn Plaza [Partial 17th Floor]?

Where exactly is it?
2 Penn Plaza sits in Penn Plaza, Manhattan. Transit: 1/2/3, A/C/E, LIRR, NJ Transit. Neighboring submarkets: Chelsea, Hudson Yards, Midtown. Around Penn Station and Moynihan, newly rebuilt and well priced for its access.
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 80% above 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.
