Do you need to be in Manhattan? There's some smaller offices still available in DUMBO (but going quickly). Downtown Brooklyn has a lot of vacant Class B type space. Slightly off the beaten track is some just renovated space on Front Street in Vinegar Hill (a couple of blocks north on Front Street from DUMBO proper). 231 Front I think, mix of pure rentals and co-working spaces. If you want to stay in Manhattan (or must), consider looking in the old garment district, W30s between 7th and 9th avenues. Still a lot of loft style space that you can carve up whatever way you want. I haven't looked for office space recently, but if I had to I'd probably start first by finding a decent broker. NY real estate is still very old school "I know a guy" type of networking & negotiations. Also consider asking for referrals to people/places on either the nytm list or nextny.
