At present, the Rangers hold practice at Rye Playland, the Knicks at SUNY Purchase and the Liberty split time at Chelsea Piers and Madison Square Garden.

Gilpatric notes that LCOR is in discussions with prospective tenants for the new 320,000 sf of space at the Landmark at Eastview, which will be contained in three buildings of 100,000 sf, 100,000 sf and 120,000 sf. Currently, The Landmark at Eastview features approximately 725,000 sf of existing space and is 100% occupied, mainly with biotech and pharmaceutical firms such as: Regeneron Pharmaceutical, Emisphere Technologies, OSI Pharmaceutical and Progenics Pharmaceutical. In addition, Lockheed Martin, C.K. Witco and Praxair also lease space there.

While talks are being held with prospective tenants, Gilpatric would not comment on whether any deals were expected to close in the near future. He did say, "In a perfect world I would like to get a lease done and then begin construction in about a year." He adds that the development of the project will be tenant-driven and that LCOR, will be seeking to tap into the state's Gen*NY*sis (Generating Employment Through New York Science) biotech funding program. Landmark at Eastview joins New York Presbyterian Hospital and the Westchester County Health Care Corp., which includes the Westchester Medical Center and New York Medical College, in seeking Gen*NY*sis funding for proposed biotech developments in the county.
