Short-term retail space in NYC, up to three months
Three months covers a full season: holiday, spring or summer. It is the longest a pop-up usually runs before it starts to look like a store, and it is where landlords with a vacant unit are most open to a deal.
Ask about three months even on spaces marketed for long leases. Some landlords would rather earn on a short term than leave the glass empty while they wait for a tenant.

Questions
FAQ
Can I rent a storefront in NYC for three months?
Yes. Many landlords will license a vacant unit for a season, and some market their spaces as pop-up friendly. Terms are set unit by unit.
Is a three-month storefront a lease or a license?
It can be either. A license is simpler and shorter. A short lease gives you more protection but more obligations. Have a lawyer read whichever you sign.
What if the landlord finds a long-term tenant?
Some short-term agreements let the landlord end early with notice. Ask for a guaranteed minimum term before you build.
