117 West Main Street in Stony Point Sells to Developer of Ramapo’s Pascack Ridge

117 West Main Stony PointLast summer, the Rose Memorial Library was in contract to purchase 117 West Main Street in Stony Point, the former 125-year-old school building for $1.4 million and renovate it for a total construction cost of more than $8 million. The four-story building’s 9,000 square feet would have nearly quadrupled Rose Memorial square feet. The bond financing for that acquisition and redevelopment was never secured and that deal fell apart.

A new buyer, Alex Goldberger, a builder/developer and owner of Monsey Lumber closed on the former school building on August 18th. The purchase price was $999,000. Goldberger is a developer of the controversial Pascack Ridge property in the Town of Ramapo which has been the subject of ongoing litigation for many years.

Plans for the building are not public.

The seller was Petr Tomkevich of Tomkins Cove. Tomkevich originally acquired the property in 2002 for $325,000.

The Seller was represented by Rosemarie Franzese of Rand Commercial. The Buyer was represented by Hamid Moghadam from Ellis Realty Commercial.
