LoopNet categorizes 40 W 39th St as a Bryant Park office property (historical listing).
Building snapshot (public sources)
- StreetEasy identifies 40 West 39th Street as a commercial building with 5 stories and 6 units, built in 1915.
- Compass similarly profiles it as a 5-story building, built 1915, with about 10,020 SF total building area.
(Exact suite features—windows, ceiling height, condition—depend on the specific unit.)
Best-fit tenant profile (2,000 SF)
A ~2,000 SF Midtown South office typically works well for:
- Boutique professional services (legal, accounting, consulting)
- Small creative/production teams
- Medical/admin back office (non-clinical) or showroom-style office use
At roughly $33/SF/yr, this is an aggressive value headline for the Bryant Park area—so it’s worth confirming whether $5,500/mo is base rent only or includes additional charges.
Summary
40 W 39th Street (2,000 SF office) at $5,500/month offers a small-suite opportunity in the Bryant Park / Midtown South submarket, in a boutique 5-story 1915 commercial building—well-suited for professional and creative tenants seeking central Manhattan access.
If you tell me which floor, window line (front/back), and whether the $5,500 is gross or plus electric/CAM, I’ll tighten this into a perfect CoStar/LoopNet-style listing blurb.
