giant wants to open an operations facility  Sunrise Mall site in the Town of Oyster Bay with the intent of opening an operations facility in the future This process is in the early planning stages and additional steps remain," the Seattle-based company said in a statement Thursday afternoon which is a location where Amazon conducts logistics and fulfillment activities Amazon spokeswoman Smitha Rao told Newsday in an email A last-mile site is used to deliver purchases the remaining distance to customers' homes or jobs Amazon's plan advanced Thursday morning after the Nassau County Planning

land executive vice president and chief operating officer at Urban Edge Properties a real estate investment trust that is the managing member of Sunrise Mall Holdings The subdivision "is merely allowing us to start the clock for a development," said Jeffrey S a Manhattan-based real estate investment trust that is the managing member of Sunrise Mall Holdings A boom in online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in early 2020, fueled the growth of Amazon's warehouse numbers On Long Island, Amazon has eight warehouses, six of which opened in the last five years, and one planned for Route 110 in Melville At each of the facilities are dozens of delivery workers who are employed by independent small businesses that own the delivery vans Between 100 and 150 Amazon employees work as package handlers at each warehouse The mall is currently made up of 22 tax lots following the planning commission's vote Thursday a planner in the Nassau County Department of Public

Amazon’s investment in Massapequa This project means economic growth without the strain of a greater population on schools and services — a real win for our community," he said in a statement Several residents who spoke during the public hearing said they opposed an Amazon facility because of potential noise and traffic impacts to nearby neighborhoods with some saying more study was needed before the planning commission approved the subdivision addresses the Nassau County Planning Commission hearing on the subdivision application for the Sunrise Mall property on Thursday "I'm sure when you buy a parcel of land five years ago for $25 million you should have some scenarios of what that parcel will be used for just spend more time publicizing their potential plans," said Gary DiBiase Planning Commissioner Reid Sakowich echoed that sentiment He said he understood that a subdivision approval wouldn't grant an approval to build "I think it's hard for residents of that community to understand that you spent $25 million and you have no idea what you're doing" for the redevelopment which drew applause from about two dozen residents in the audience The Town of Oyster Bay is responsible for approval of redevelopment projects in the jurisdiction Sunrise Mall Holdings plans to demolish the nearly vacant mall including the free-standing former Sears Auto Center according to a letter the partnership's attorney Judy Lynn Simoncic of Uniondale law firm Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP sent to the Town of Oyster Bay Planning and Development Department the letter requested that the department

application for the Sunrise Mall property on Thursday Credit: Newsday/Howard Schnapp At the planning commission meetings in Mineola on Thursday Simoncic said it could be years before a demolition of the mall occurs Sunrise Mall is in Oyster Bay's light industrial district but the mall exists under a special-use permit granted by the town board in the 1970s town spokesman Brian Nevin said in an email "Future retail space will require a special use permit from the town board Or they could modify their existing approvals," he said the 1.2 million-square-foot mall used to be a bustling property it has lost stores over the last decade due to a growing number of online retailers The pandemic exacerbated the challenges faced by shopping malls Sunrise Mall Holdings bought the long-struggling mall from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, a Paris-based company, in 2020 for $29.7 million, a steep discount from the $143 million — not adjusted for inflation — that the property sold for in 2005 When the mall’s 2020 sale was announced, the buyer said it would redevelop the property no development has taken place and the only tenant left is Dick’s Sporting Goods Sunrise Mall Holdings stopped renewing tenant leases in 2022 One of the last two anchors, Macy’s, recently closed did not respond to Newsday's request for comment about its plans for its Sunrise Mall store The retailer has more than 10 years left on its lease who has said that Macy's exit allowed for more flexibility in redeveloping the mall by virtue of being the largest tenant at the mall had the most control over what other things could happen on the property we have some more flexibility,” he told Newsday in January Urban Edge’s partners in Sunrise Mall Holdings are Sagamore Hill Partners a Manhattan-based real estate investment firm affiliated with Woodbury-based Ripco Real Estate New Jersey-based company that is an "established developer of industrial assets."
