Division of Real Estate Services ~ Leasing Information

Public Lease Auction Brochure The Division of Real Estate Services (DRES) manages the inventory of City-owned commercial real estate, both buildings and vacant lots. In many cases, leasing is available for limited time periods while City agencies work on development plans for the property. DRES does not have responsibility for residential buildings or apartment units.

Short-term leases have month-to-month terms. Typically, tenants rent these properties for parking for an adjacent home or business. In most cases, leases can be arranged directly with the DRES Lease In-Take Unit with rents ranging from under $100 to $5,000 per month. For more information, call 311 (Or Call (212) NEW-YORK if outside of NYC) or visit the office at 1 Centre Street, 19th Floor North, in Manhattan. Short-term leases that have a rental over $5,000 per month must be offered through a Public Lease Auction.

Long-term leases with terms longer than one year are available on selected properties. Longer terms allow tenants to make improvements to the property. Long-term lease sites must be offered through a Public Lease Auction

Public Lease Auctions are held periodically. Sites are offered with terms and special use requirements specific to the unique nature of each property. Public parking lots, retail spaces, office spaces and vacant lots can be offered for lease.
