Town Board Votes Down Office Building Purchase for Municipal Facility

GREENBURGH, NY-The Town Board has decided not to spend approximately $7.8 million to acquire a vacant 134,000 sf building that was originally built 10 years ago and is still not fully completed.

GREENBURGH, NY-Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner tells GlobeSt.com that a consensus of the Town Board has rejected the offer by Alfred and Alan Weissman of Yonkers as being too high. The asking price was $7.8 million for the former SCI building on Route 100. It would have been a new town hall and library.

“We’re definitely not going to pursue it at the price of $7.8 million. It would have given them about a $3 million profit,” Feiner charges. Feiner noted that Alfred Weissman Real Estate had purchased the troubled 134,000-sf property last year. Alfred and Alan Weissman, principals of Alfred Weissman Real Estate, could not be reached for comment at presstime.

Feiner said Greenburgh would be looking to hire a real estate consultant to explore options the town might have concerning the Weissman building, including reopening discussions with AWRE. In addition, Greenburgh would also look to review other available properties for sale. One of the firms the town will be talking with is Landauer Associates in New York City, Feiner says.
