De Blasio’s presidential headquarters is near his gym

Mayor Bill de Blasio has found the ideal campaign headquarters for his improbable presidential bid — a converted vacuum factory that specializes in short-term leases and is a quick walk to his Brooklyn gym.

The term-limited pol’s scant campaign staff of just five people has parked at The Yard, a co-working space between Park Slope and Gowanus on 13th Street, sources told The Post.

De Blasio had said on NY1 Monday, “Look, this is like a startup, it really is.” He confirmed that the offices are in Brooklyn, but refused to divulge the address.

Maybe because the HQ is nothing fancy. It’s a space where struggling freelance writers and other under­employed creative types sit elbow-to-elbow at white desks.

A plus of The Yard — a WeWork rival with several locations on the East Coast — is the lounge where the mayor could take one of his regular siestas if he’s feeling sleepy after his morning workout at the nearby YMCA.

For de Blasio, who’s begging for $1 donations via Facebook to jumpstart his fledgling campaign, the price is right.

A spot at a shared desk is $295 a month and private offices start at $600 a month.

There is no long-term lease and tenants pay month to month.

Campaign spokeswoman Olivia Lapeyrolerie downplayed the meager new digs, saying, “It’s just an office space.”

The campaign team was absent from The Yard Thursday as they attended a union rally in Des Moines, Iowa, where the mayor said he and his staffers are going to boycott McDonald’s until the fast-food chain pays a $15 minimum wage to all its workers.

De Blasio also bragged about getting a $15-an-hour minimum wage implemented for government workers in the Big Apple.

However, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s camp has also taken credit for the move — which required state approval.
