In the course of looking for office space over the last few years, I had a relatively hard time finding a list of all the co-working spaces in NYC that listed the things that were important to me, namely: price, lease term, location, amenities and relationships. As I've begun working with more start-ups here in NYC, finding affordable, convenient and appropriate office space has also been a major time-eater for them. I ended up creating a comp sheet of every co-working space in NYC and their amenities, costs and locations to share with them. Now, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, where a lot of folks continue to be displaced, I decided it made sense to update and share it with everyone. Some of these stats involve estimation and some of the sources were just me visiting and/or calling the sites themselves. I think I actually have every space on there, but if anything is missing, feel free to write it into the comments, update the sheet yourself or shoot me a note at [email protected]. If you have worked at any of these spaces, maybe post a review that would be helpful to others below.
The map and link are after the jump:
Here's a link to the entire sheet (.xls) of co-working spaces in NYC
Here's a link to a google doc where you can add or update info
My friend @AlexZerden did a great job of putting these into a Google map to visualize the info. The map gives a clue to the next set of resources that'll be coming out (incubators/accelerators) next week:

I'm intentionally not including stuff like Regent or Regus Business Centers, or it'd get crazy. The focus here is flexibility, thoroughness and amenities.
Here are some interesting stats on the research:
There are about 600,000 square feet of co-working space available in NYC, with more coming online in the near future.
That's roughly equivalent to 400 Starbucks, the entire 11 story building that houses Lord & Taylor's flagship store in NYC and the Port Authority/NYC's lease at the World Trade Center.
The biggest providers here are obviously Sunshine Suites (~85k square feet) and WeWork (~232k square feet)
The overall capacity for co-working in NYC is approximately 6,500 people at any one time. Facebook has about 3,500 employees.
The lowest cost is free (Wix Lounge), the lowest "real" daily cost is ~$25/day (Space-4-work) and $295 (Green Spaces). The average cost is around $325/month.
Stupid math says that that means that roughly $27.3 MM is spent on co-working in NYC alone per year.
These cater to a number of different functions, but we see specialties across verticals, including: Tech, fashion, women, "Green", media, Design, "construction", and growth.
The big differentiators you're going to find are location, auxiliary services (community, networking, education).
