HUNTINGTON, NY-Following a review process that spanned nearly two years, the Huntington town planning board gave final approval Thursday to the site plan for Canon USA’s new Americas headquarters in Melville. The next step for the 1.2-million-square-foot office project is to obtain a building permit.

“Canon USA’s Americas headquarters will be a significant addition to the Route 110 corridor, and should attract additional development, cementing Melville’s status as Long Island’s downtown,” says town supervisor Frank Petrone in a release. “We look forward to the next step—construction—that will provide work for Long Island’s construction unions now and pave the way for additional jobs in the future.” An unincorporated hamlet within the Town of Huntington, Melville is one of the focal points for commercial office space within Suffolk County, particularly along Route 110.

Currently based at leased space in the Nassau County community of Lake Success, NY, Canon USA filed plans with Huntington’s planning board in July 2008. The imaging giant paid about $103 million to the Tilles Cos. and the Holliday Organization for the 52.2-acre parcel, nicknamed the Pumpkin Farm, at the southwest corner of the Long Island Expressway South Service Road and Walt Whitman Road adjacent to Route 110.
