CBRE tapped to lease 300,000 s/f LI Granite complex.

The Long Island office of CB Richard Ellis has been named the exclusive corporate leasing agent for the second phase of a 300,000 s/f office development named The Granite Buildings and located on Marcus Avenue in Lake Success, NY.

The second phase of the successful project, which was topped off this month, is slated for delivery by early 2007.

Phase I was completed in 2005 and is currently fully leased to a number of high-profile tenants, including Sandoz, Northfork Bank, Northshore Long Island Jewish Health Systems and Sumitomo Corporation of America. The Granite Buildings represent the only new Class A office properties in Western Nassau. The CBRE team of Larry Weiss, Marty Lomazow, Roy Chipkin, Richard Karson and David Shaoulpour will oversee the leasing of the second property within the complex on behalf of the ownership, Lalezarian Properties.

Ideal for corporate office tenants and medical professionals the property is less than one-quarter mile from two major arteries--the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway--and is under one-half mile from Queens County.

Several bus routes stop immediately in front of the building which is a short walk to numerous restaurants and shopping destinations.

Among its numerous amenities, the property will feature a magnificent, 60'-high atrium, high quality finishes, an on-site cafe and banking services as well as three levels of covered parking offering a significant ratio of more than five spaces per 1,000 s/f of office space.

"Given the success of phase I of the development and the current market dynamics, we believe that the new building at 1991 Marcus will surpass all expectations," noted Weiss. "We look forward to representing this great space as well as working closely with Lalezarian Properties."
