What’s it like to move in the Financial District?

High-rises and loading docks. Many FiDi homes are in converted office towers and newer residential high-rises, where moves go through a loading dock and a reserved service elevator on a fixed schedule. The streets are among the oldest and narrowest in Manhattan, and some are closed to traffic for security.

ZIP codes we serve: 10004, 10005, 10006, 10007, 10038.

What should I know about my building’s move rules?

Almost every FiDi building requires a COI naming the building and managing agent, a reserved loading dock and service elevator slot, and moves within set weekday hours. Book your slot early, send us the building’s requirements, and we’ll arrive as your window opens.

Where will the moving truck park?

At your building’s loading dock when it has one, otherwise as close as the street allows. NYC doesn’t issue parking permits for moving trucks, and some FiDi streets are closed to vehicles, so our crew confirms the approach route before move day. You’ll never be asked to save a spot.

When is the best time to move in the Financial District?

When your building’s dock is free. Weekday mornings are busiest with commercial deliveries, so many residential buildings schedule moves for late morning or afternoon. Some allow weekend moves when office traffic is lighter, so ask.

Packing it yourself, with the heavy lifting done for you

We’ve been moving New Yorkers since 1999. Here’s one of the moves we’re proud of.

Financial District (10007) · self-pack option · boxes delivered in advance · furniture disassembly and reassembly

The challenge: Lyala wanted to pack her own clothes, shoes and dishes to keep control of her things and her budget, but she needed professionals for the large furniture, which had to be taken apart, protected and put back together.

What we did: We delivered boxes a few days before the move so she could pack at her own pace. On move day, the crew took her larger furniture apart, wrapped every piece securely, and reassembled it all in her new place.

The result: Two days after the move, she was fully unpacked and settled in.

In her words: “Bringing the boxes over a few days prior to our move was very helpful… Two days later I’m already unpacked and settled.” — Lyala H., Google review

Tip for your move: If you’re packing yourself, ask your mover to drop off boxes a few days early. Packing over several evenings is far easier than one long night before the move.

What’s included in every move?

One flat price covers the full job: every piece of furniture wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap, floors and doorways protected, beds and tables taken apart and put back together, and your building’s COI at no charge.

Do you offer packing, piano moving and storage?

Yes, and each is included in the same flat price when you add it.

• Packing: full, partial, just the fragile items, or none at all if you pack yourself. See Packing Services.
• Fine art, antiques and pianos: custom padding, crating and the right equipment. See Delicate Items.
• Storage: overnight on the truck, or climate-controlled storage at $0.75 per cubic foot per month when your new place isn’t ready. See Storage Solutions.

How much does it cost to move in the Financial District?

One flat price, confirmed after your video walk-through, and that’s what you pay. No hourly meter, no fuel surcharge, no move-day surprises.

In the Financial District, the biggest price factors are long carries from the loading dock and how much packing you’d like us to do.

Why choose a boutique mover?

We cap our schedule at 15 moves a day and never overbook, so your crew is booked for your move alone. One coordinator handles your move from the first call to the last box, our crew members average more than 20 years with the company, and you get an arrival window plus a call about 30 minutes before the crew arrives.

Financial District moving FAQs

Can I pack my own boxes and have you move the furniture?

Yes. Pack whatever you like, and our crew handles the furniture: disassembly, wrapping, moving and reassembly. Just have your boxes sealed and ready before the crew arrives.

Does my building’s loading dock need to be reserved?

Almost always. FiDi buildings usually require you to book the dock and service elevator in advance. Reserve your slot, then tell us the time.

Do you provide a COI for Financial District buildings?

Yes, free. Send us your building’s requirements and we’ll send the certificate directly to management, backed by our $5M liability coverage.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel 72 or more hours before move day for a full deposit refund. Rescheduling is free with 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability.
