How to Find the Perfect Showroom Space for Rent in NYC
You want to find an ideal showroom to display your merchandise in your chosen neighborhood, with the right amount of space, great lighting and good access, all at a price that fits your budget, right? Whether you’re showing apparel, lingerie, accessories, home furnishings or something else, the space you choose has a big impact on how your product is perceived.
How to get it right – You need to work with an agent that represents your interests. Retain a Manhattan commercial real estate broker who works for you, not the landlord or the leasing agent. If you do go directly to the leasing agent, be aware that their highest priority will be to negotiate the best lease for the landlord, not you.

Most showrooms feature high ceilings and large open areas that add the “wow factor” to your displays.

Others have office areas adjacent to the showroom for executives and marketing staff and all have freight elevators for your convenience.
Location, Location, Location – The location of your showroom rental is very important to the success of your business. Some of these buildings and neighborhoods cater to particular types of industries. For example, The Garment Districtis well-known for apparel/clothing showrooms.
