Indoor soccer facility marks first Manhattan location in iconic Financial District office building

It might not be the Olympics in Paris, but hey — Manhattan is getting its own new sports spot.

Socceroof is bringing its indoor soccer action to a downtown office building, scoring 20,000 square feet at Fosun Hive’s 28 Liberty St., according to Crain’s.

The stunning new venue will feature multiple five-a-side football pitches and offer leagues and lessons for children and adults.

This marks Socceroof’s first location in Manhattan, adding to its lineup in Sunset Park, Crown Heights, Long Island City, New Rochelle and, in Canada, Montreal.

Socceroof will be part of the massive 200,000 square foot space at the base of the 60-story, 2.5 million square foot property.

They will share the floor with Court 16, a 13,000-square-foot pickleball and tennis club. Newmark’s Jordan Gosin brokered the deal for Socceroof – while Jeffrey Roseman, Ross Kaplan and Drew Weiss represented the landlord.

Chinese real estate firm Fosun snapped up 28 Liberty St. in 2013 for 725 million dollars.

The building, with its 38,000-square-foot penthouse that houses Danny Meyer’s Manhattan restaurant and an Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, is now 89.5% leased.

Office rents are reaching $60 to $74 per square foot, with big tenants like the New York Attorney General’s office and HelloFresh.

Mayor Mark Levine took to X to praise the lease of the soccer facility, saying “Love this creative use of vacant office space!”

Manhattan’s office market is still recovering from the pandemic, and Lower Manhattan has taken a bigger hit than Midtown.

The area’s availability rate was 20.4% in the second quarter, with average rents of $57.08 per square foot, according to Colliers.
