271-279 South Wellwood Avenue, Lindenhurst, NY 11757

Overview:

This property represents one of the most compelling infill redevelopment opportunities on the South Shore. With a combined 20,000 SF footprint—split between a 10,000 SF existing retail structure and a 10,000 SF dedicated parking lot—the site offers the scale, zoning flexibility, and municipal support required for a transformative project in the heart of the Village of Lindenhurst.

Located within the Business (B) District, the property provides a strong foundation for developers seeking to capitalize on Lindenhurst’s ongoing downtown revitalization. The B-Zone allows a broad range of commercial uses and, subject to Village review, presents a pathway for mixed-use development, increased density, and modernized building programs that align with the Village’s long-term planning objectives.

Key Development Advantages

• Large footprint suitable for ground-up construction or phased redevelopment
• Existing 10,000 SF structure offers adaptive reuse potential or a cost-effective shell for repositioning
• 10,000 SF parking lot provides flexibility for:
  • Required parking ratios
  • Future building expansion
  • Structured parking
  • Outdoor dining, plazas, or amenity space

• Walkable downtown location with strong demand drivers: restaurants, breweries, boutique retail, and new residential growth
• Supportive municipal environment—Village leadership is actively encouraging thoughtful redevelopment that enhances the downtown core

Potential Development Paths

• Mixed-Use Building (Retail + Residential/Office)
• The site’s size and parking capacity make it a strong candidate for a multi-story mixed-use project, subject to Village review.

Developers can explore:

• Ground-floor retail or restaurant space
• Upper-floor residential units
• Boutique office or medical suites
• Activated streetscape improvements
• Retail or Commercial Repositioning
• Retain and modernize the existing 10,000 SF structure to attract:
• National or regional retailers
• Fitness, wellness, or medical operators
• Food-and-beverage concepts
• Specialty grocers or experiential tenants
• Comprehensive Redevelopment
• Full demolition and new construction to maximize FAR, improve site circulation, and deliver a best-in-class downtown asset aligned with current market demand.

Strategic Timing:

1. There is an additional 7,700 building/lot located at 271 S. 1st St behind the main structure that ownership would consider selling thus squaring off the site.
2. Lindenhurst is in the midst of a multi-year revitalization cycle, with new residential density, upgraded infrastructure, and a thriving restaurant and brewery scene. This property sits at the center of that momentum, offering developers a rare opportunity to shape the next phase of the Village’s evolution.
