In the same building, an office for four costs 55% more than one for two
Croissant set the cheapest office for two against the cheapest office for four in each of the 36 New York buildings that price both. The office for four costs a median of 55% more (90% range 39% to 63%), not twice as much. Each of its two extra seats costs a median of $387 a month, against $775 for each seat of the office for two. Going from two to three people adds a median of 27% (36 buildings), and from three to four 22% (33 buildings). Per person, the office for four is cheaper than the office for two in 32 of the 36 buildings. In four buildings, Industrious Union Square on Broadway, Kent Offices, Industrious Williamsburg and Blue Panda Office Spaces - William Vale, the office for four costs more than twice the office for two.
Small teams get the opposite of what large ones do: for a team of ten or more, a big office costs more per person than the same building’s smaller ones.

An office for two costs 103% more than desks nearby, an office for four 34% more
Croissant set each building’s cheapest office for two, three and four people against what the same team would pay for a shared desk each within a kilometre, from the 404 monthly desk prices Coworker, CoworkingCafe and LiquidSpace publish in the five boroughs. At the median, the private office costs 103% more for two people (90% range 83% to 120%), 36% more for three people (90% range 26% to 66%) and 34% more for four people (90% range 28% to 43%). The gap for two is clearly the largest: desks cost the same per person at any team size, while an office for three or four costs little more than an office for two. Only 14 of the 173 offices cost no more than the desks.

How we measured it
The guide uses every priced private office in New York City for two, three or four people. Offices on Croissant count at their 12-month price, read on 2026-11-08. Offices listed on LiquidSpace and CoworkingCafe count at the monthly price they publish, collected on 2026-08-19. WeWork’s and Industrious’s own location pages count at the 12-month price they state, read from 2026-10-27 to 2026-11-01 for WeWork vs Industrious and the SoHo guide; WeWork’s include its current offer. An office the index has in a building an operator’s own page prices counts once, at the operator’s price, and each building counts at its cheapest office of each size. A step from two to four compares the two offices in the same building. A desk nearby is the median monthly desk price Coworker, CoworkingCafe and LiquidSpace publish within a kilometre of the office, collected on 2026-08-19. A median is stated only where at least five buildings stand behind it, with a 90% range from resampling the offices 20,000 times. The full method is in the New York findings, and every office is on private offices in New York City.
