The biggest up front expense in leasing business real estate is the security deposit. Residential security deposits are set by law in NYC but not commercial security deposits.
We did well on 30th Street, not only did we negotiate a 3 month deposit, we got the landlord to agree to base the security deposit on the first month's rent rather than the escalated rent at the end of the lease term.
