City Seeks Long-Term Tenant to Improve Heliport, Surrounding Area

NEW YORK CITY-The 40,400-sf East 34th Street Heliport currently operates under a month-to-month lease. Now the city wants a 10-year tenant that will make capital improvements to the facility and contribute public amenities to the surrounding area.

NEW YORK CITY-The New York City Economic Development Corp. and the Department of Business Services have issued a Request for Proposals for a long-term tenant to occupy and improve its 40,400-sf East 34th Street Heliport.

The well-used wharf is currently leased on a month-to-month basis by Amports Aviation Group, which manages and develops airports and aviation-related facilities. The city, which owns the land, is looking for a 10-year tenant to occupy the facility.

The city changed its leasing approach to the property in hopes of “generating infrastructure improvements [to the heliport] plus public amenities” on public land near the site, EDC spokesperson Janel Patterson tells GlobeSt.com. “A month-to-month tenant wouldn’t feel compelled to make capital improvements to the property.” Respondents to the RFP are being asked to provide suggestions general infrastructure improvements as well as design ideas for public water access, bike paths and walkways. Also, because of its location in a dense urban environment, there are special restrictions on the operations of the facility.
