Office space costs across US cities in 2026
Rents vary widely by market. Manhattan trophy space can exceed $120 per sq ft/year, while strong Sun Belt markets sit far lower for comparable quality.
Rough benchmarks
Expect coworking desks from roughly $300/month and small private offices from $500–900/month in most cities, rising sharply in prime coastal districts. On a per-square-foot basis, Financial District New York, Brickell Miami and the San Francisco FiDi sit at the top; Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix and Houston offer materially more space per dollar.
Because operating costs and concessions differ by building, always compare net-effective rent, not the asking figure. See live prices per city and per building on RentOfficeToday.
