The supply of well-located warehouse space is tight in suburbs north of New York City, where many of the industrial stock is being turned into mixed-use developments, and there are no new properties being built. Simone Development Cos. owns and manages more than six million s/f of commercial property in the tri-state region, and has acquired a prime warehouse at 316 Courtland Avenue in Stamford, CT as a way to preserve the in-high-demand industrial properties. The 118,500 SF property offers the largest block of contiguous warehouse space in the city.

Stuart Saft, a partner in the real estate practice of Holland & Knight contributes to a Real Estate Weekly story about a new proposal in New York City. It would give commercial tenants free legal aid to fight eviction, which is rising at a rapid rate. The proposal applies to independently owned and operated “mom and pop” businesses, which are also being closed across the city. The catch-22, though, is that with high real estate taxes, commercial tenants who cannot pay their rent but can avoid eviction leaves commercial owners out of luck when it comes to paying the taxes.
