Legal Services Flourishes at Muss’ 60 Bay St.

STATEN ISLAND, NY-Leasing is booming at Muss Development’s 60 Bay St., driven in large part by happenings next door. The 113,692-square-foot office complex benefits from its location near the Staten Island Ferry and easy access to both Lower Manhattan and New Jersey, to be sure, but the 182,720-square-foot courthouse under construction next door, which will house the Supreme Court, Criminal Court and Jury Assembly when it’s expected to open in 2012, helps as well.

Jason Muss, principal at Muss Development, which owns and manages 60 Bay St., thinks that the courthouse has helped to drive recent leasing activity in the building.
