was demolished to make room for a logistics center and warehouse for an unnamed tenant (Joseph Kellard)(Google Maps)If constructed the proposed distribution complex would neighbor logistics centers of the United Parcel Service and United States Postal Service NY – Plans to build a distribution center at a historic site appear to be on hold as the developer may have changed the original proposal Brookfield Properties in July 2021 paid $13.2 million for a 6.5-acre site and office building at 107 Charles Lindbergh Blvd., where the real estate firm was reportedly planning to build an e-commerce logistics complex for an unnamed tenant The Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency granted Brookfield $33.8 million in economic incentives for the reconstruction project and the Manhattan-based firm also received a town permit to demolish the two-story which was reportedly to include a 100,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center that would take up to 18 months to build While the building has since been leveled and construction vehicles are parked at the site there are no signs that the project has broken ground Brookfield did not respond to requests for comment Hempstead Town IDA Chief Executive Officer Fred Parola told Patch that Brookfield either wants to amend or change the original proposal but right now it’s all in limbo,” Parola said Parola noted that the IDA enacted a preliminary inducement in the case and Brookfield must once again resolve all the agency’s preconditions from applications to environmental and building code requirements before seeking economic incentives for an amended or new plan so that’s the reason why we have not entertained anything with them since they initially contacted us,” Parola said of Brookfield The July sale involved Yehuda Goltche of Venture Capital Properties in Manhattan, who represented both Brookfield and the seller, Dr. Shahrokh Abiri, a radiologist and real estate investor located in Brooklyn. In 2017, Abiri paid $5 million for the building, which previously housed an Internal Revenue Service office before the agency moved to a facility in Bethpage in 2012 Goltche told Patch that at the time of the closing last summer Brookfield did not have a tenant in mind for the proposed distribution center Parola said that if Brookfield did originally have a tenant for the property the firm didn’t disclose that information to the IDA “But in an initial, preliminary situation, that’s not unusual,” he added. Part of historic Mitchel Field and neighboring Nassau Community College, the property has an underlying ground lease with Nassau County, according to Long Island Business News.

such thing as ‘East Garden City,’” Rice said “I look forward to getting together with all stakeholders to make our case for why this designation must be changed.” Uniondale community leaders are voicing their appreciation of the push “It’s troubling to me that part of our community has been taken away from us and I’m hopeful that through this meeting we can come to a resolution and keep Uniondale united,” said Uniondale Fire Commissioner Richard Harris in a statement the superintendent of Uniondale School District said he looks forward to the meeting and the possibility of getting
