Searching for office space SoHo throws up two very different products: whole loft floors on a five-year lease, and serviced suites you can move into next week. This guide covers the second kind — the private offices Wezoo lists inside SoHo — what they cost per desk, which buildings have them, and the one number on the price list that quietly decides your bill. If you want the mechanics of the product itself first, start with our complete guide to private offices.
Three Wezoo buildings sit inside SoHo’s Houston–Canal–Crosby–Sixth Avenue box. All three are run by the same operator. That single fact turns out to explain almost everything about how office space in SoHo is priced — including why a four-person team pays roughly the same here as it does in a Hudson Square tower, while a three-person team pays 42% less.
Wezoo snapshot — SoHo private offices
- 3 buildings inside SoHo, holding 15 serviced suites
- Price range: from $650 to $20,890 per month
- Median desk rate: $415.50 per desk per month — identical to the Manhattan median
- Desk rates in SoHo run $213.80 to $471.67 per month
- All 15 SoHo suites are available now
- Wider Manhattan: 57 private-office buildings, 56 with published prices (WeWork, Regus, Spaces, HQ)
Those are the headline numbers for office space soho. The rest of this guide is about the number underneath them.
Office space SoHo: what does a private office actually cost?
Between $214 and $472 per desk per month, depending on which of the three buildings you walk into. The median SoHo desk rate is $415.50 — which happens to be, to the cent, the median desk rate across all 56 priced private-office buildings in Manhattan. SoHo is not a premium on the desk. It is a premium on the block.
The spread inside the neighbourhood is what matters. WeWork’s 524 Broadway, on the corner of Spring Street, charges $423.33 per desk for its smallest suite. WeWork’s 148 Lafayette Street, 460 metres south, charges $216.67 for the identical suite. Same operator. Same five suite sizes. Same era of cast-iron loft. Ninety-five percent more, for four hundred and sixty metres.
Compare that with the gap between SoHo and the rest of the island: Manhattan’s cheapest private-office desk is $180.50 a month and its dearest is $1,145. The neighbourhood you pick moves your bill. The door you pick moves it more.
Office space SoHo: the suite you cannot buy
Every WeWork building in Manhattan — all 27 of them — sells private offices in exactly five sizes: 3, 6, 10, 20 and 50 desks. Nothing else exists on the list. There is no 4-desk room, no 5, no 7, no 8.
So if your team is seven people, you do not buy seven desks in SoHo. You buy ten. At 524 Broadway that is $4,370 a month, of which $1,311 buys three chairs nobody sits in — $15,732 a year of empty furniture. The advertised desk rate says $437. The rate you actually pay is $624.
Half a kilometre west, across Sixth Avenue, Regus at 101 Avenue of the Americas lists suites at 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 17 desks, all at a flat $729 each. Its headline rate is 72% higher than SoHo’s. Its bill for a real seven-person team is $5,103 — and every chair has someone in it.
Run that comparison across every team size and the ranking keeps flipping:
| Your team | 524 Broadway (SoHo) | Per person | 101 Sixth Ave (Hudson Sq) | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | 3-desk, $1,270 | $1,270 | 1-desk, $729 | $729 |
| 3 people | 3-desk, $1,270 | $423 | 3-desk, $2,187 | $729 |
| 4 people | 6-desk, $2,830 | $708 | 4-desk, $2,916 | $729 |
| 6 people | 6-desk, $2,830 | $472 | 7-desk, $5,103 | $850 |
| 7 people | 10-desk, $4,370 | $624 | 7-desk, $5,103 | $729 |
| 10 people | 10-desk, $4,370 | $437 | 17-desk, $12,393 | $1,239 |
Read the four-person row again. One extra person erases a 72% price advantage. That is the real cost structure of office space soho, and no listing page shows it to you.
Why the six-desk suite is the worst value in the building
Divide each WeWork suite by the number of desks in it and the curve is not a slope. It is a hump. At 524 Broadway: $423.33 per desk for three, $471.67 for six, $437 for ten, $432.50 for twenty, $417.80 for fifty. The six-desk room is the most expensive desk in the building — dearer than three desks and dearer than ten.
It is not a quirk of that address. Normalise all 27 WeWork buildings in Manhattan against their own 3-desk rate and every one produces the same curve, to within four-tenths of a percent: 1.000, 1.113, 1.031, 1.022, 0.987. The shape of the price list is set once, estate-wide. The building only sets the multiplier.
Two things follow. Buying a 50-desk floor gets you a 1.3% discount per desk over buying three — volume, on this ladder, is worth almost nothing. And the six-desk suite is where the ladder charges you a premium, because six is the first rung you land on when what you needed was four or five.
Two price-list shapes, and which one fits your team
Manhattan’s 56 priced private-office buildings split cleanly in two, and the split runs by operator, not by neighbourhood.
- Flat lists. Regus (21 buildings), Spaces (6) and HQ (2) — 29 out of 29 are perfectly flat. The desk rate never moves, from one desk to eighty-six. Between them they list suites at every size from 1 to 86 desks, so you can buy the headcount you actually have.
- Curved lists. WeWork (27 buildings) — 0 of 27 are flat. One curve, five rungs, applied everywhere.
Neither shape is better. Office space SoHo comes in the curved shape only, at all three of its buildings.
They suit different teams. If your headcount lands on a rung — 3, 6, 10, 20 — the curved list is the cheaper way to hold a SoHo address. If it lands between rungs, the flat list stops charging you for chairs. We found the same operator split in London last week: office space in Shoreditch has zero flat-rate buildings, exactly like SoHo, and for the same reason. Loft districts attract campus operators; tower districts attract flat-rate ones. The building stock chooses the price list before you do.
Office space SoHo: 6 buildings inside the district and on its doorstep
Three sit inside SoHo proper. Three sit within a kilometre, in Hudson Square and Tribeca — included because, as the table above shows, the building next door is often the honest answer.
1. 524 Broadway — SoHo
What to expect: The cast-iron block between Spring and Broome, one flight above the Broadway retail. Five suites on the price list, from a 3-desk room at $1,270/month to a 50-desk floor at $20,890/month, and every one of them is available now. Per desk it runs $417.80 to $471.67 — the highest WeWork base rate of any building in Manhattan. Two subway lines (N/R at Prince, 6 at Spring) are inside a three-minute walk.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 524 Broadway, New York · Location: Broadway at Spring Street
On the price list: from $1,270/month · 3–50 desks · $417.80–$471.67 per desk · all 5 suites available now

2. 379 W Broadway — SoHo
What to expect: SoHo’s western spine, the quiet side of the neighbourhood where the galleries outnumber the flagships. The same five-rung ladder as 524 Broadway — 3, 6, 10, 20 and 50 desks — priced about 4% lower: $1,220/month for the 3-desk suite, $20,070 for the floor. Its median desk rate of $415.50 is, to the cent, the median desk rate of the whole of Manhattan.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 379 West Broadway, New York · Location: West Broadway at Broome Street
On the price list: from $1,220/month · 3–50 desks · $401.40–$453.33 per desk · all 5 suites available now
👉 Request 379 W Broadway on Wezoo
3. 148 Lafayette St — SoHo
What to expect: Same operator, same five suite sizes, same building era — and roughly half the price of 524 Broadway, 460 metres up the road. The 3-desk suite is $650/month; the 50-desk floor is $10,690. Per desk that is $213.80 to $241.67, which puts this door in the cheaper half of Manhattan while keeping a SoHo address. If your budget is the constraint and Prince Street is not, this is the door.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 148 Lafayette Street, New York · Location: SoHo’s southern edge, two blocks above Canal
On the price list: from $650/month · 3–50 desks · $213.80–$241.67 per desk · all 5 suites available now
👉 Request 148 Lafayette St on Wezoo
4. 101 Avenue of the Americas — Hudson Square
What to expect: The nearest flat-rate building to SoHo, and the one that answers the size problem. Nineteen suites, six different sizes — 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 17 desks — every one of them at exactly $729 per desk per month. A single desk is $729; a 7-person room is $5,103. You pay more per head than in SoHo, and you pay for nothing you do not use.
Operator: Regus · Address: 101 Avenue of the Americas, New York · Location: 550 m west of Broadway & Spring, across Sixth Avenue
On the price list: from $729/month · 1–17 desks · $729 per desk, flat at every size · 13 of 19 suites available now
👉 Request 101 Avenue of the Americas on Wezoo
5. 160 Varick Street — Hudson Square
What to expect: Priced identically to 379 W Broadway — $1,220 for three desks, $20,070 for fifty — but with bike storage and a shorter walk to the 1 train at Houston Street. Hudson Square is where SoHo’s loft stock gives way to bigger print-house floorplates, so the 20- and 50-desk suites here feel less like a squeeze.
Operator: WeWork · Address: 160 Varick Street, New York · Location: 750 m from Broadway & Spring, by the Holland Tunnel approach
On the price list: from $1,220/month · 3–50 desks · $401.40–$453.33 per desk · all 5 suites available now
👉 Request 160 Varick Street on Wezoo
6. 99 Hudson Street — Tribeca
What to expect: The cheapest flat rate anywhere near SoHo: $459 per desk per month, at every size from a single desk to a 14-desk suite. Twenty suites, ten sizes, and a genuinely granular ladder — there is a 6-desk room and a 7-desk room, so a six-person team buys six chairs. Tribeca, not SoHo, and the ten-minute walk is the price you pay for the $270 you save per desk.
Operator: Regus · Address: 99 Hudson Street, New York · Location: 1 km south of Broadway & Spring
On the price list: from $459/month · 1–14 desks · $459 per desk, flat at every size · 7 of 20 suites available now

Office space SoHo vs Tribeca and Hudson Square — when is the premium worth it?
Short answer: when the address is doing work for you. SoHo’s cast-iron blocks, protected since 1973 by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, are the reason the neighbourhood reads the way it does to a client walking in from Prince Street. If your business is fashion, media, design or anything where the room is part of the pitch, that is a line item, not a vanity.
If it is not, the arithmetic is unsentimental. Regus at 99 Hudson Street in Tribeca charges $459 per desk, flat at every size from 1 to 14, a ten-minute walk south. Against SoHo’s $423–$472 band that looks like a wash — until your team is five, or eight, or eleven, at which point the flat list is simply cheaper because it sells you the size you are.
Hudson Square, across Sixth Avenue, is the middle path: bigger floorplates, both price-list shapes available within 200 metres of each other. It is the reason we widened this guide past the three buildings that are literally inside SoHo. The SBA’s own guidance on choosing a business location puts it plainly: the cost of an address is only one of the things it is doing for you.
How far in advance should you book office space in SoHo?
Less far than you think. All 15 SoHo suites on Wezoo are available now — none of them carries a future move-in date. That is the structural difference between a serviced suite and a loft lease: the fit-out already happened.
The flat-rate buildings are the ones with a queue. At Regus 101 Avenue of the Americas, 13 of 19 suites are free today and the other six come available between January and September 2027. At 99 Hudson Street, 7 of 20 are free now. So the trade is real: SoHo gives you the address and immediate entry; the flat-rate towers give you the right size, sometimes with a wait.

Office space SoHo: frequently asked questions
Office space SoHo: how much does a private office cost per desk?
Between $213.80 and $471.67 per desk per month across the three private-office buildings Wezoo lists inside SoHo. The median is $415.50, which is identical to the median desk rate for the whole of Manhattan. Suites start at $650 a month for three desks and run to $20,890 for a 50-desk floor.
Office space SoHo: how many buildings are there?
Three, holding 15 suites between them: 524 Broadway, 379 West Broadway and 148 Lafayette Street. All three are operated by WeWork. The nearest flat-rate alternative is Regus at 101 Avenue of the Americas, 550 metres west across Sixth Avenue.
Office space SoHo: why are there only five suite sizes?
Because every WeWork building in Manhattan — all 27 — sells private offices at 3, 6, 10, 20 and 50 desks and nothing in between. If your team is 4, 5, 7 or 8 people you round up to the next rung and pay for the empty chairs. Flat-rate operators such as Regus and Spaces list every size from 1 desk upward.
Office space SoHo vs Tribeca: which one is cheaper?
On the headline desk rate they are close — SoHo sits at the Manhattan median of $415.50, Tribeca’s Regus at 99 Hudson Street is a flat $459. On the actual bill it depends entirely on your headcount. A three-person team pays 42% less in SoHo; a four-person team pays about the same; a five-person team pays more.
Office space SoHo: can I move in immediately?
Yes. All 15 SoHo suites currently listed on Wezoo are available now, with no future move-in date attached. Serviced suites come furnished, wired and staffed, so the lead time is contractual rather than physical.
Office space SoHo: what is the cheapest private office?
148 Lafayette Street, on SoHo’s southern edge, at $650 a month for a 3-desk suite ($216.67 per desk). Just outside the district, Regus at 99 Hudson Street in Tribeca is $459 per desk, flat at every size, and will sell you a single desk.
