Commercial property · read from the city’s own files
Every commercial
building in New York.
Forty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-seven commercial lots across all five boroughs — offices, stores, hotels, warehouses, factories, garages, theatres and commercial condominiums — searchable and sorted against the city’s own tax lot file as you type. Floor area, assessed value, price per square foot, the tax-roll owner, the zoning and its overlays, the landmark status, and the parties named on the last recorded deed.
Nothing on this page was typed from memory and nothing is estimated. Every figure is fetched from a named New York City file at the moment you ask for it, and every panel prints which file answered and how old that file is. Where the city does not know something — and there is a great deal it does not know — the page says so rather than filling the gap.

The register
Forty-three thousand lots.
Queried live against PLUTO, the city’s tax lot file, so the sort runs over all forty-three thousand rather than over a page of them. Brooklyn has the most commercial lots of any borough — 14,009 — which surprises people who assume Manhattan, and Manhattan is third at 6,533, behind Queens.
The register
reading the city’s file…
Type an address and the city’s geocoder turns it into a tax lot; type anything else and it searches the address and owner columns. The sort runs on the server, over every matching lot, not over the page you can see.
| Address | Borough | Use | Building | Assessed | $/sq ft | Floors | Built |
|---|
$/sq ft here is the assessed value divided by the building’s floor area — it is not a sale price and it is not a market valuation. New York assesses commercial property at a fraction of market value, so this number is systematically low and is useful for comparing lots with each other, not for pricing one. A real transacted price per square foot needs a real sale, and the lot sheet below shows those where the city has recorded one.
A lot
Who owns it, and who sold it.
Open any row above and this fills in from four more city files at once: the assessment roll, the zoning database, the landmarks register and ACRIS — the deed record itself, which names the grantor and the grantee on every conveyance since 2003.

Which file said so.
Seven New York City files answer this page, each on its own schedule. None of them is real time, and the page does not pretend otherwise: property records are filed, then indexed, then published, and every step takes days or months.
About
What is here, and what is not.
There is no broker on this page, and there is not going to be one. No public source names the agent currently marketing a New York commercial building. New York City’s open data catalogue has no listing dataset at all — searching it for “broker” returns trade-waste haulers — and the commercial listing services that do hold it are closed: CoStar and LoopNet refuse an HTTP client outright, Crexi’s API answers 401 behind a login, and REBNY’s syndication feed is members-only. The only technical route to any of them is scraping against their terms, which is not something this site does. A broker field here would be a field somebody made up.
So the column says deed parties instead, and it is the real thing: the grantor and the grantee named on the most recently recorded conveyance, out of ACRIS, with the amount and the date the clerk stamped on it. That is who actually transacted the building.
The owner is a tax-roll name
PLUTO’s owner field is the name on the Department of Finance tax roll, which is very often a single-purpose holding company and occasionally out of date. One World Trade Center is on the roll as Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. Condominium billing lots frequently read UNAVAILABLE OWNER outright — 500 West 33rd Street, the Hudson Yards tower, is one. The page prints what the roll says and labels it as such; it never claims to know the beneficial owner.
Staten Island has no deeds
Deeds for Richmond County are recorded with the county clerk and are simply not in ACRIS: grouping the whole seventeen-million-row deed index by borough returns Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, and no fifth borough. For Staten Island the page falls back to the real property transfer tax filings, which do exist there and which carry both the consideration and the same grantor and grantee — and it says on the sheet that it has done so.
Half of all deeds have no price
Of the deeds recorded in the year to 31 July 2026, 41.8 per cent carry an amount of zero and another 2.2 per cent carry a nominal ten dollars. These are not missing data. Sampling them shows what they are: transfers into a family trust, transfers into a single-member company, owners conveying to themselves. The page renders those as transfer, not a sale, because rendering them as a sale price of nothing would be a lie about a real document. Before 2003 the position is far worse — of 1.37 million older deeds, 375 carry a price at all — so price history on this page begins in 2003 and says so.
A deed can cover more than one lot
About one recorded deed in twenty spans several tax lots, and the amount stamped on it is the price of the whole assemblage. The $491.1 million paid for 455 Madison Avenue in May 2026 covers three lots, not one. The page never divides that figure and never presents an assemblage price as a single building’s value; where a deed spans lots, it says how many.
Nothing here is real time
PLUTO is a quarterly release. ACRIS is refreshed monthly and its most recent deed is generally three to eight weeks old. The rolling sales file is monthly and was one cycle behind when this was written. A building that changed hands last Tuesday is in none of them yet. The Sources panel prints the real date on each file rather than a reassuring word.
