A 93-unit, family apartment building with eight affordable housing units on Great Neck Road will be coming to the Plaza.
After final approval of the compliance and site plan by the Great Neck Village Board of Trustees at a regular meeting last Wednesday, representatives of Plaza Landmark LLC, the property’s owners, thanked the board and said construction would begin “soon.”
Cleared by the Nassau County Planning Commission on Feb. 3, final approval of the project rested with the village board, which unanimously approved the project.
“I think it’s going to be a big asset to the village and it will be a pretty building and a nice thing to see as you come in,” said Village of Great Neck Plaza Trustee Gerry Schneiderman, just prior to the vote.
The residential apartment building will consist of 45 one-bedroom units and 48 two-bedroom units. Eight of the 93 total residential units are proposed as affordable housing units in compliance with the village code.
The project, located at 245-265 Great Neck Road, lies on the north side of the street at the intersection with New Cutter Mill Road, formerly Bayview Avenue.
Plaza Landmark LLC, is owned by Great Neck real estate developer Frank Lalezarian.
In 2007, the Great Neck Plaza Village Board approved the demolition of an office building at the site and for the construction of a 63-unit residential condominium building by Great Neck Road LLC, the former property owners at the location.
After demolition of the office building, construction of the condominium was abandoned leaving an undeveloped plot of land at the site.
In April of 2010, an application was submitted by Great Neck Road LLC for construction of a rental building at the site instead of the proposed condominium. After the request was approved by the Plaza village board, the Great Neck LLC sold the land to Plaza Landmark LLC.
