B6 is marking a 240,000-square foot site in the Bronx with the aim of securing a 99-year ground lease.
The site, located at 350 Grand Concourse, is currently a gas station owned by GS Humane Corp., a private foundation based in New York primarily focused on animal welfare, education, combatting hate and anti-Semitism and Jewish education. Its founder, Gene Shapiro, who passed away in 2015 was a gas and oil broker who owned multiple gas station properties throughout NYC.
The reason for the ground lease vs. a sale is that the foundation was built through triple net leases and the 99-year ground lease allows the site to stay within the foundation.
