Blumenfeld Development Group (BDG) and partner Hampshire Companies along with Bespoke Construction will be honored June 18 for the construction of their self-storage facility at 71 Jane Street in Roslyn Heights at the Long Island Business News Real Estate, Architecture & Engineering Awards.
The project, which was selected from an extensive list of nominees, is being recognized for the redevelopment of a property that had sat idle and been a nuisance since 2013. Opening in November 2023, the facility comprises 98,000 square feet and houses more than 650 units on four floors within a safe landscape and reinforced by architectural elements such as buffers. The building features a brick and glass exterior located at the end of Jane Street, adjacent to Roslyn Road, north of the Long Island Expressway and just twenty miles from New York City.
“We are truly honored to be recognized by the leader of Long Island's business community,” said Brad Blumenfeld, Principal, Blumenfeld Development Group. “We were so pleased to renovate a blighted property and bring the community a first-class, climate-controlled, convenient and secure commercial property that fills a much-needed solution to storage needs.” “It's a very emotional project for me because I'm a graduate of Roslyn High School and the facility is right down the street where leasing was very strong in the first six months.”
The property is operated by Extra Space Storage (NYSE:EXR), the second largest operator of self-storage facilities in the U.S. Chris Robinson and Gino Tedesco R&M Engineering developed the site and urban plans.
