How much does 500 Fifth Avenue [Entire 55th Floor] cost per month?

500 Fifth Avenue sits in Bryant Park, Manhattan. Transit: B/D/F/M, 7, N/Q/R/W at 42nd. Neighboring submarkets: Midtown, Grand Central, Times Square. Trophy towers around the park, steps from Grand Central and Times Square.

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 67% 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.
