Ask it here. Then see the building.
Short answers, a comparison, and a tour when you are ready.
Getting started
Who is a BeeHive bay for?
A private bay for entrepreneurs who are ready for a floor of their own. Product companies, inventory, light assembly, and event gear all land here.
How do I start?
Open the building you want and tell us about the space. Share how much room you need, how you’ll use it, and how long you’d like to lease, and we’ll get back to you quickly with pricing and availability.
What should I tell you?
How much space you need, how you’d use it, and whether you want 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2+ years. A sentence on what you’ll keep in the space helps.
Space and access
How big are the Long Island City bays?
500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000+ square feet. Larger spaces are available too. Tell us what you need to keep there and we’ll size it with you.
Is the bay private?
Yes. You get a private, secure space inside a building where loading is shared. You are not leasing the whole building.
How does loading work?
Loading is shared at the building. Ask on the tour, or in the inquiry, how deliveries are handled at that address.
How secure is it?
Access is managed with the building. On a tour we’ll walk you through how entry works at that address.
Leases and terms
Which terms can I ask for?
3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2+ years. “2+ years” means two years or longer. The signed lease is what locks the term in.
Is the website the lease?
The signed lease is the agreement for that space. These pages are how you picture the bay and book the conversation.
Can I see the space first?
Yes. Tell us about that building and we’ll get back to you quickly to set up a visit.
Pricing and what's included
How is price set?
Pricing depends on the term, the square footage, credit, and the lease structure. Tell us how much space you need and how long you’d like to lease, and we’ll get back to you with pricing.
What comes with a Long Island City bay?
Utilities, Wi-Fi, shared loading access, and on-site management. Confirm the list for the space you tour. It belongs in the lease.
What stays with me?
You get the private bay, shared loading, and the building services for that location, including utilities and Wi-Fi where the lease includes them. Your work, your goods, and the way you run the day stay in your hands.
