We're finalizing the housing situation this week but I'm having a hell of a time securing office space and can't believe it's this difficult in the office capital of earth; especially with what should be a huge inventory of empty office space.
Since I'm leaving my staff here in Houston, I just need a one room deal for myself, and not even that much space. I had been looking at this executive office space at 28th and Broadway that seems just fine, but I get a strange vibe from the company I'd be renting from.
What do most people do in Manhattan? How could it be this impossible to find 60 to 150 private square feet for less than $600/mo? Do people sublet rooms in their residence for office space?
I have literally zero foot traffic (all clients are taken care of via email, fax, and US Postal) so store front or sexy address are meaningless.
if you have no foot traffic, Do you have enough room in your home to dedicate a part of it for business, at least for now until you find something?
Yeah, unfortunately, that's what I'm afraid I'll have to do when I first get there. It's just not the long term answer with our moron dogs barking and my kid getting home at 3p. I'd really prefer an office.

In that case, the OP would at least need a mail-drop address. You don't want to use a home address for business purposes.
Depending on the business, it might not look awfully professional to use some known Mailboxes 'R' Us type thing ... so the OP would still be looking for space (at least some 'conceptual office'-type thing that takes mail and calls, and provides a real address).

All correct.
It's a little more complicated because it's not like we're some start up company trying to just "get by" and I have to keep up the image that we're a fully legit company working out of an office.
I just don't want to spend $1k+ for what is going to be a one man sitting at a laptop and phone situation.
I'm just stunned that with all the apparent open office space in NYC right now, I can't find 80 sf behind a private door that someone wants to rent me for a reasonable price.
