Two landlords rent private office space Financial District tenants actually want, on the same block of Broadway, and they disagree about the price by a factor of three. WeWork charges $530 a month for a three-person office at 115 Broadway. Regus charges $1,665 for a three-person office at 165 Broadway. The two front doors are ninety-two metres apart.
That is not a rounding error. It is two completely different ways of pricing the same neighborhood — and once you see it, the Financial District stops being a single market and becomes two. This guide uses live Wezoo inventory: 5 private-office buildings inside the core FiDi zip codes, 82 individual suites, every desk rate and every availability date pulled from the booking system on the day of writing. If you want the product itself explained first, start with our complete guide to private offices, then come back for the numbers.

Every number below comes from that same scan. No broker averages, no asking rents — real office space financial district prices you can act on today.
What does office space in the Financial District actually cost?
Between $174 and $555 per desk per month, depending entirely on which lobby you walk into. That is the honest answer, and it is not the answer the search results give you.
Every broker page ranking for this term quotes a number per square foot per year: $53 for Class B, $58 on average, $66 for Class A. Those numbers are real, but they answer a question a five-person team is not asking. Asking rent per square foot excludes fit-out, furniture, internet, reception, cleaning, coffee and the lease lawyer — and it hides the only variable that matters, which is how many square feet you are assumed to need. At a common planning figure of 150 rentable square feet per person, $58/SF/year works out to roughly $725 per desk per month before you have bought a single chair.
A serviced desk at 115 Broadway costs $177, furnished, wired and cleaned. The gap is not a discount. It is a different product with a different denominator.
Office space Financial District: the two price models nobody tells you about
Run every private office Wezoo lists across New York City — 69 priced buildings, 1,055 suites — and something strange falls out. The two operators who dominate the Financial District are not running the same business.
WeWork prices a map
WeWork operates 31 private-office buildings across New York City. Between them they publish exactly eight distinct desk rates. Not eighty. Eight. Every WeWork building inside a zone carries the identical price list, to the dollar: three desks $530, six desks $1,180, ten desks $1,820, twenty desks $3,610, fifty desks $8,720.
And here is the part that should stop you: that Financial District list is the same list WeWork publishes in Brooklyn — at Dumbo Heights, at 195 Montague Street, at Dock 72 in the Navy Yard, at 134 N 4th Street in Williamsburg. Byte for byte. In WeWork’s price list, the East River does not exist. (Our coworking space Brooklyn analysis found the same thing from the opposite direction: seat-weight the desk market and Brooklyn and Manhattan land on the same dollar.)
Regus prices a door
Regus operates 26 private-office buildings in New York City and publishes 23 distinct desk rates. Almost every building is its own number. Inside the Financial District alone: 14 Wall Street $429, One Liberty Plaza $555, 100 Church Street $399, 200 Vesey Street $525.
14 Wall Street and One Liberty Plaza are 234 metres apart. Same operator. Same district. Same product. +29%. Whatever Regus is charging for, it is finer-grained than a neighborhood.
The ninety-two metre test
Put the two models next to each other on one street and the whole market falls open. Three people, one private office, July 2026:
| Building | Operator | 3-person office | Per desk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 115 Broadway | WeWork | $530/month | $177 |
| 165 Broadway (One Liberty Plaza) | Regus | $1,665/month | $555 |
| 14 Wall Street | Regus | $1,287/month | $429 |
Same street. Same zip code. 3.14×. Choosing your office space financial district address badly costs a three-person team $13,620 a year — for ninety-two metres of Broadway.
One landlord is selling you a neighborhood. The other is selling you an address. The Financial District is not one price. It is two price lists that happen to share a zip code.
Is the Financial District cheaper than Midtown?
Yes — but ask each operator separately, because they disagree about by how much. This is the test that matters, and almost nobody runs it: compare a district to the rest of the city within a single operator’s own price list, so the brand, the fit-out and the service level are held constant.
| Operator | Financial District | Midtown | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| WeWork (per desk/month) | $180 | $256 | −30% |
| Regus (per desk/month) | $492 | $550 | −11% |
Both agree on the sign. Downtown is cheaper. But WeWork thinks the discount is nearly three times bigger than Regus does — and only one of them treats the district as a pricing unit at all.
Which means the honest answer to “is FiDi cheaper?” is: whose FiDi? A district premium is not a property of the district. It is a property of the landlord’s spreadsheet. For the record, WeWork’s cheapest Manhattan zone is the Financial District, and its most expensive is SoHo at $416 per desk — a 2.3× swing inside one brand, inside one borough.
The Financial District has been a working office quarter since the 18th century, and its transit density is the reason it still is.

The 5 best office space Financial District options on Wezoo
Five buildings, ranked by what they are actually good for rather than by price alone. Every rate below is the live monthly figure; every availability note is from the booking system.
1. Regus 14 Wall Street — 14 Wall Street
What to expect: This is the only door in the Financial District where a solo founder can sign today. Regus lists 34 suites at 14 Wall Street, from a single desk at $429/month up to a 28-person floor at $12,012 — and the rate per desk never moves. Eighteen of those 34 suites are free right now. The building sits directly above the 2/3 at Wall Street and two blocks from the New York Stock Exchange, which means your address does the introduction before you do. It is also the cheapest per-desk Regus address in Lower Manhattan after 100 Church Street.
Operator: Regus · Address: 14 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005 · Sizes: 1–28 desks · From: $429/month (1 desk) · Desk rate: $429/month

2. WeWork 115 Broadway — 115 Broadway
What to expect: The cheapest team ticket downtown, and the number that breaks the whole Wall Street price myth: three desks for $530/month, which is $177 per person. WeWork does not sell a one-person office here — the ladder starts at three and climbs 3, 6, 10, 20, 50. Every suite is available now. The building is the Trinity Building opposite Zuccotti Park, a 1907 neo-Gothic tower with a lobby that looks like a cathedral and a price list that looks like Brooklyn’s.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 115 Broadway, New York, NY 10006 · Sizes: 3–50 desks · From: $530/month (3 desks) · Desk rate: $180/month
👉 Book WeWork 115 Broadway on Wezoo
3. Regus One Liberty Plaza — 165 Broadway
What to expect: Ninety-two metres north of 115 Broadway, on the same street, at $555 per desk per month. That is the highest desk rate in the district and it buys a black-steel tower on Zuccotti Park with a view down Broadway. Nineteen suites, from a single office to a seven-person room at $3,885. Only seven are free now, and the one-desk office is let until September 2026 — so the practical entry ticket here is a two-person suite at $1,110.
Operator: Regus · Address: 165 Broadway, New York, NY 10006 · Sizes: 1–7 desks · From: $555/month (1 desk) · Desk rate: $555/month
👉 Book Regus One Liberty Plaza on Wezoo
4. WeWork 85 Broad Street — 85 Broad Street
What to expect: Goldman Sachs’ old headquarters, three blocks from the Staten Island Ferry, and the price list is byte-for-byte identical to 115 Broadway: $530, $1,180, $1,820, $3,610, $8,720. Same five sizes, same five numbers. The building runs the length of a block on the footprint of the old Dutch Stadt Huys, and the 4/5 at Bowling Green is a four-minute walk. If you want to be south of Wall Street rather than north of it, this is the same deal with a different lobby.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 85 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004 · Sizes: 3–50 desks · From: $530/month (3 desks) · Desk rate: $180/month
👉 Book WeWork 85 Broad Street on Wezoo
5. WeWork 199 Water Street — 199 Water Street
What to expect: The Seaport option, and the quietest of the three WeWork doors — closer to the water, further from the tour buses, with the Fulton Street hub (2/3/4/5/A/C/J/Z) five minutes west. Again the identical list: three desks for $530, a fifty-desk floor for $8,720. Sixteen photos, floor-to-ceiling glass and the East River behind it. For a team that wants Lower Manhattan without the Broadway crowds, this is the address.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 199 Water Street, New York, NY 10038 · Sizes: 3–50 desks · From: $530/month (3 desks) · Desk rate: $180/month
👉 Book WeWork 199 Water Street on Wezoo
Two more doors sit just outside the core zip codes and belong in any honest shortlist: Regus 100 Church Street (10007, 730 m) at $399 per desk — the cheapest serviced desk in Lower Manhattan — and Regus 200 Vesey Street at Brookfield Place (10281, 810 m) at $525, with 39 suites up to 33 desks.
What size office can you actually get today in the Financial District?
Smaller than the price list suggests, and the gap is expensive. The published menu is a menu. The availability calendar is the real menu — and in FiDi they part company at exactly eight people.
Regus 14 Wall Street lists suites at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 28 desks. A team of eight looks at that list, sees the nine-desk suite at $3,861, and budgets $483 a head. But the nine-desk suite is let until July 2028. The smallest suite an eight-person team can move into this month is the twelve-desk at $5,148 — $644 a head, +33% on the list price, $15,444 a year for four empty chairs.
The entry rung is worth checking too. WeWork’s Financial District ladder starts at three desks — there is no solo private office in any of its three FiDi buildings. If you are one person and you want a door that locks in the Financial District, there is exactly one address on Wezoo you can take today: 14 Wall Street, $429/month. One Liberty Plaza’s single-desk office exists, but it is occupied until September 2026.
Before you commit to any office space financial district lease, run both passes: the full price list, then the same list filtered to what is free on your start date. The ranking flips more often than it holds.
When should you choose a private office over a coworking desk?
Roughly from the sixth day a month you need the room to yourself. Below that, a flexible desk wins on cost; above it, the fixed rate wins on both cost and sanity — you stop paying for hours you do not use and start paying for a door that closes.
If you are still weighing the formats, our guide to private office New York options covers the citywide picture, and the serviced office New York comparison covers what is bundled into the monthly rate. For a team that is genuinely part-time downtown, a desk is still the cheaper instrument.
Private offices on Wezoo are a request, not an instant booking — you tell the operator the headcount and the start date, they come back with the room.

Office space Financial District FAQ
How much does office space financial district rent cost per month?
On Wezoo, a private desk in a Financial District serviced office runs from $174 to $555 per desk per month. The cheapest entry ticket is a three-person office at WeWork 115 Broadway for $530/month total, or a single desk at Regus 14 Wall Street for $429/month. Broker listings quote $53–$66 per square foot per year instead, which is a different product and a different denominator.
Is office space financial district cheaper than Midtown?
Yes, on both operators’ own price lists — but by very different amounts. WeWork prices its Financial District buildings 30% below its Midtown buildings ($180 vs $256 per desk). Regus prices its FiDi buildings only 11% below its Midtown ones ($492 vs $550). The discount is real; its size depends on the landlord.
Can one person rent office space financial district on Wezoo?
Yes, at one address: Regus 14 Wall Street lists a one-desk private office at $429/month and it is available now. WeWork’s three Financial District buildings start at three desks, so a solo founder cannot take a private office there. One Liberty Plaza’s single-desk suite is let until September 2026.
Which operators run office space financial district buildings on Wezoo?
Two: WeWork (115 Broadway, 85 Broad Street, 199 Water Street) and Regus (14 Wall Street, One Liberty Plaza). Just outside the core zip codes, Regus also runs 100 Church Street and 200 Vesey Street at Brookfield Place.
What is the biggest office space financial district suite available?
A fifty-desk floor at any of the three WeWork buildings, at $8,720/month — that is $174 per desk, the lowest per-desk rate in the district. Regus 14 Wall Street goes up to 28 desks at $12,012/month, and 200 Vesey Street lists suites up to 33 desks.
How far in advance should you book office space financial district space?
Check the availability calendar, not just the price list. Forty of the 82 FiDi suites on Wezoo are free immediately, but the mid-size rooms are the tightest: at 14 Wall Street the nine-desk suite is occupied until July 2028, which pushes an eight-person team into a twelve-desk room at 33% more per head.
