The Problem

Commercial real estate is stuck in 1995.

An industry built on 10-year leases, handshake deals, and phone calls. Tap a card to see the numbers.

Landlord Pain

Your empty space is bleeding money.

Tenant Pain

Why is getting space this hard?

What they're saying

I have 12,000 square feet sitting empty on the ground floor. It's been vacant for 11 months. I'm paying $8K/month in carrying costs on a space that generates zero revenue.

Landlord

Property Owner

We wanted a 6-week pop-up in Williamsburg for our product launch. Every landlord wanted a 5-year lease minimum. We ended up doing a trunk show out of a friend's apartment.

Tenant

Founder, DTC Skincare Brand

Finding a space for a short-term client? It's simply not worth my time. I spend weeks calling listings, chasing owners, only for a deal worth a fraction of a long-term lease.

Broker

Licensed NYC Commercial Broker

As a photographer, I need studio space maybe 10 days a month. Signing a full-time lease makes zero sense, but there's nowhere to book commercial space by the day or week.

Tenant

Commercial Photographer

I'd happily rent to short-term tenants but I don't know how to find them. My broker only brings me 5-year deals. The pop-up brands are out there, I just can't reach them.

The commission on a short-term deal doesn't even cover my time. I love the concept but the economics of brokering flexible leases are broken. There needs to be a platform for this.
DT

David T.

Broker

Associate Broker, CBRE

I spent $180K on broker fees, security deposit, and buildout for a space I wasn't even sure would work. All I needed was 3 months to test the concept.
MJ

Marcus J.

Tenant

Restaurant Entrepreneur

Every month my retail space sits empty, I lose $15,000 in rent and still pay $4,200 in taxes and insurance. A 3-month tenant is better than 14 months of vacancy.

Landlord

Commercial Landlord

I had a client who needed a 3-month showroom in SoHo. I called 40 listings. 38 said no to short-term. The two that said yes took 3 weeks to respond. My client went to LA instead.
