Milvado continues its growth with the $18.7 million purchase of Two Syosset office buildings | 7.23.19

Milvado Property Group takes ownership of an additional 220,000 plus square feet.

Milvado Property Group, today announced that it has acquired 6801 and 6901 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset with a combined purchase price of $18.7 million.

The two office buildings, totaling 224,309 square feet, are located on Jericho Turnpike, Syosset in Nassau County, Long Island. The buildings are located at the convergence of the Long Island Expressway, Northern State Parkway and Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway, providing unprecedented east-west and north-south access to Long Island destinations and to the Five Boroughs of New York City. In addition, the property is located one mile from the Syosset LIRR station, and less than 30 minutes from JFK, LaGuardia, and MacArthur Airports.

“These are two superior properties that belong in our portfolio,” said David Hercman, Director of Asset Management for Milvado. “They are centrally located to major highways and within easy reach of the Long Island Railroad, making these buildings very attractive to current and future tenants.”

“From a far broader strategic standpoint, this investment reflects a significant economic commitment to the region based on our belief that Long Island has a strong and vibrant future,” continued Mr. Hercman. “A $1.7 billion investment in the LIRR Expansion project, millions being spent on bridge and road repairs, and new rental housing starts for a new generation of Long Islanders suggest that the region is prepared to meet its various challenges. That means we also need to provide modern, state-of-the-art working space to ensure continued job growth and additional investment.”

The two buildings purchased by Milvado benefit from their proximity to communities that offer exceptional residences and top rated public schools, numerous recreational and retail opportunities as well as national respected colleges and universities. Within a five mile radius of the property, the median household income of $171,091 is 17.5% higher than Nassau County’s average.

“These specific acquisitions reflect Milvado’s approach that calls for locations that will enable our tenants to maximize their productivity, strengthen their bottom line, have easy access to their markets and take advantage of the quality of life offered by the surrounding community,” continued Hercman. “We will continue to add to our Long Island portfolio when we see similar kinds of value.”

The sale was brokered by Cushman and Wakefield’s Gary Gabriel and his team,  David Bernhaut, Andrew MacDonald, and Phil D’Avanzo.

MILVADO SIGNS NINE LEASES TOTALLING 54,082 SQUARE FEET AS THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019 ENDS | 4.11.19

Milvado Property Group ended the first quarter of the year on a high note by signing in the past 60 days nine new and renewal leases totaling 54,082 square feet at properties within its massive Long Island industrial portfolio.

Milvado Director Weighs In With Business Leaders Around Long Island | 1.4.19

As 2018 comes to a close, it is clear that Long Island had a big year.

The Needs of E-commerce Transforming Milvado Property Group’s Hicksville Property | 1.8.19

Plans underway to rebuild 230 Duffy to meet the demands of 21st Century e-commerce logistics

Long Island, NY (January 8, 2019) – In a move that anticipates the need to support regional growth of e- commerce, Milvado Property Group, a leading owner and manager of industrial, office, mixed-use, and R&D properties across Long Island, today announced plans to renovate, modernize and heighten their existing industrial property at 230 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville.

“The arrival of Amazon in Queens only serves to underscore the role of e-commerce in our economy, here and across the nation. In anticipation of meeting the logistic needs of this sector, Milvado is positioning itself with a multimillion dollar investment to improve our Duffy Avenue property to ensure we are able to meet the needs of those companies that will support Amazon’s emerging role in New York,” stated David Hercman, Milvado’s Regional Director.

Mr. Hercman observed that the challenge is to reinvent the 125,000 square foot building to meet current and future industrial demands by increasing its heights.  “For example, the current roof is 14 feet. It needs to be raised fifty feet as we need fifty foot ceilings to address the needs of clients in a digital on-demand economy.  Column spacing will need to be increased to a footprint of 20 feet by 40 feet so that bay spacing can be expanded and improved. We also plan to create additional loading docks and maintaining industrial grade power into the building to ensure it can support the logistics mission the building will assume.”

Communicating with the community

Milvado executives acknowledged the changes in the building’s vertical footprint can be done under existing Town of Oyster Bay zoning codes and “as of right.”

To eliminate any potential concerns about building occupants parking on adjacent residential streets ample onsite parking will be included in the project’s site plan. In addition, given the location of the building within easy walking distance to the Hicksville Long Island Rail Road station Milvado executives believe a number of employees will arrive by train.

Mr. Hercman said engineering innovations will allow the building to be reinvented for the emerging Amazon world through a cost effective approach that creates a taller industrial building while minimizing potential construction impacts on nearby homes and leaving “as is” its current property footprint. “We recognize we have a responsibility to the residential neighborhood to our south and we will be reaching out to community leaders and civic groups to brief them on our plans,” he explained.

As part of a deliberate strategy to meet the needs of a regional economy, the 230 Duffy location is not unique to Milvado’s portfolio as they have deliberately sought to own and manage space adjacent to Long Island’s major roadways. Their properties can be found near the Long Island Expressway, Northern and Southern State and Wantagh Parkways, and Route 135, and in the case of its Hicksville parcels, within close proximity to the Long Island Rail Road and Routes 106/107.
