Prepared for Hexmodal · Growth & Expansion · Q4 2026 - Q1 2027

Compliance that runs itself deserves a workspace that does the same.

Your devices run the required tests so the facilities teams you serve don't have to. Meanwhile, the New York team is about 50 people in roughly 8,000 SF at 115 West 30th Street - around 160 SF per person, and tightening with every hire. Here's a focused look at the market, the timing, and thirteen spaces sized to where Hexmodal is heading next - plus five comparable floors the market has already taken.

01 Where Hexmodal stands today

A team outgrowing its floor, in a market about to tighten.

Hexmodal automates the compliance testing that facilities teams used to run by hand - and the New York team behind it is about 50 people working out of roughly 8,000 SF at 115 West 30th Street. That is around 160 SF per person, well under the 200-250 SF most growing teams plan around. The floor still works today; the math says it will not for long.

A

The density math is already tight.

At about 50 people in roughly 8,000 SF, Hexmodal sits near 160 SF per person - versus the 200-250 SF most teams plan around. At the planning standard, today's headcount alone calls for 10,000-12,500 SF, and every hire from here widens the gap.

B

The market window is narrow.

Timing creates leverage. The current market offers a rare overlap of aggressive direct-landlord competition and high-quality sublease inventory at favorable economics. Several larger blocks, including opportunities at 3 Columbus Circle & 1250 Broadway represent institutional-quality space unlikely to remain available into the next lease cycle (priced well below the direct building asking price). Starting early allows Hexmodal to evaluate both direct and sublease opportunities.

C

An address that matches the platform.

The Midtown South corridor - NoMad, Chelsea, Flatiron - is where New York's AI-native and technical operations community concentrates. Hexmodal already sits inside it at 115 West 30th; staying within it (or one block-walk over) keeps recruiting, customer visits, and culture intact.

02 The Market · Q1 2026

Quality and scarcity. The split keeps widening.

Q1 2026 was the strongest first quarter of new leasing since 2014, and the gains aren't spread evenly. Demand is concentrating into the best product, and the corridors Hexmodal would actually want are tightening the fastest.

Midtown South runs looser than the Midtown average - and that spread is Hexmodal's leverage: it is exactly where landlords are competing hardest for tenants right now, in the corridor the team already calls home.
03 The Value Thesis

Premium space. Priced below the curve.

Here is the live market plotted by asking rent.

Eight spaces worth touring.

Ranked by value (asking $/SF). Click any card to open the full brochure: floor plan, photography, specs, and terms. Sized for Hexmodal's next step up from ~8,000 SF today, with five larger scale floors below.

The Scale Plays · room to grow

Five larger Class A floors for the long view, so one move can do the work of two. 3 Park Avenue and 3 Columbus Circle anchor the deep-value end at $45 and $45.10 per foot - fully furnished floors of 22,722 and 27,134 SF. 1250 Broadway adds a 27,040 SF high-end prebuild in NoMad at $60/SF, while 1345 and 1155 Avenue of the Americas bring brand-new furnished installations to the Sixth Avenue corridor.

05 Leased | Lease Out

Proof of pace: five comparable floors, gone in ten weeks.

Between late May and today, four spaces that fit this exact brief leased and a fifth went to lease documents. That is 108,831 SF of the product Hexmodal would be shopping - absorbed in about ten weeks. The names doing the taking (Anthropic, Vendelux, Distyl AI) are the same profile of tenant competing for the next round.

Why this matters

Every one of these was a real, tourable option in late May. Their brochures stay clickable above for reference - but the takeaway is velocity: well-priced, built floors in this size range are clearing fast, and the shortlist above is competing with the same demand.
