NYC has $28.5B in vacant commercial space annually. The 16.1% office vacancy rate is the highest since the 1990s. Yet there is no marketplace for flexible, short-term commercial leases between 1 week and 12 months. Existing platforms focus on hourly event rentals. Shortys owns the massive gap in between.
Shortys earns a service fee on each booking — from both the landlord and tenant side. Our vendor marketplace generates additional revenue through preferred vendor placements and referral commissions. The unit economics improve with density: more listings in a market = higher match rate = faster bookings = better retention.
Pre-launch waitlist is live. The Shortys mobile app (React Native) is in development with core features including listing management, instant booking, digital contracts, a vendor marketplace, and a referral engine.
