Do the Largest Nonprofits in NYC – Lease, Own, or have a 30-Yr Leasehold Condo

Relocating an office or expanding a program presents significant decisions for any nonprofit. Identifying the ideal neighborhood and determining the most advantageous occupancy structure – whether leasing, purchasing, or a long-term leasehold – are critical factors. Having a high-quality market information is part of what makes the process easier. 

Below is a comprehensive list of the 100 largest nonprofit occupiers, the submarket and address where their space is located, and the type of occupancy they have.  

As a broker who specializes in assisting nonprofit organizations, I would be delighted to provide you or your organization with an overview of the market and walk you through our process.
