425 Wheeler Rd Lot | Terrain commercial | 0,3 ha | À vendre | Hauppauge, NY 11788

PRIME INFILL LOCATION WITH HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY
The site fronts Wheeler Road just north of the Long Island Expressway (I-495), offering strong visibility and convenient access. Surrounding uses include residential neighborhoods, government and professional offices, and personal service businesses.
As of 2023, Long Island’s population was estimated at 8.063 million — more than one-third of New York State’s total. With the region largely built out, developable land is scarce. New supply is further constrained by restrictive zoning, lengthy approval timelines, and strong community opposition to higher-density projects.
SHORT PATH TO ENTITLEMENTS ACCELERATING PROJECT DELIVERY
The sellers acquired the property in 2017 with plans to develop seniors housing on 4.9 acres and a single-story retail building on the 0.75-acre parcel. A zoning change was approved in early 2018, along with a site plan for 136 assisted living units on the 4.9-acre portion. The approved building area of 97,202 square feet required a FAR
variance to 45.58% (versus the 40% maximum for this use). The sellers are now willing to sell both parcels as a combined 5.65-acre site. Town approval will be required to
merge the parcels and approve development of the full site; however, prior engineering and use approvals should support an accelerated entitlement process. If the 45.58% FAR is extended to the combined parcel, the resulting building area would be 112,178 square feet.
In addition to zoning approvals, the sellers have submitted materials for a sewage treatment plant, as municipal sewer service is not available at the site. All engineering and supporting documents will be provided to the buyer. The Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency has also approved the creation of a PILOT agreement.
