Chick Fil A Inc. Buys Nanuet Shopping Plaza For $8.3 Million

Ashley LLC has sold the shopping plaza at 70 East Route 59 in Nanuet to Georgia-based Chick Fil A Inc. The selling price for the 2.7 acre parcel was $8.3 million.

Chick Fil AThe property has been under contract, pending development approval, since 2021.

The quick-service eatery known for its chicken sandwiches originally submitted plans to the Town of Clarkstown to build a 5,625 square foot Chick-fil-A restaurant with two drive-thru lanes, and meal order/delivery canopies. The original plan also included a second quick service restaurant on site covering an additional 1,000 square feet with a single drive-thru lane, but the second outlet was eventually abandoned by the buyer. The plan has gone through several iterations at the Town of Clarkstown’s land use boards.

The revised plan consists of a slightly smaller building at 5,288 square feet, 74 interior seats and 79 parking spaces. Several variances were secured from the Town’s Zoning Board of Appeals for front yard setbacks and buffers, and a side yard buffer.

The site currently has two commercial buildings; the front portion is a two-story building with mixed used commercial tenants, and the rear building is a two-and-a-half story office studio. Chick-fil-A intends to raze both buildings on the site.

To facilitate the project, the Town of Clarkstown scrubbed a zoning rule that prohibited locating restaurants (limited-menu or otherwise), drive-ins or food dispensing establishments in the RS (Regional Shopping) zone within 200 feet of any church, school, synagogue, or similar place of assembly. St. Anthony’s Parish and School at 34 and 36 West Nyack Road is situated directly across West Nyack Road and within 200 feet of the Chick-Fil-A site. The change in zoning cleared the path for the Chick-fil-A location.


Garnerville Assemblage Sells For $3.25 Million

Zugibe AssemblageAn assemblage of five separate tax lots along Ramapo Road in Garnerville sold for $3.25 million. The seller was the Zugibe Family Holdings. The buyer is the Thiells Roseville Fire Department. The location will be the site of its new fire house.

The sale included five separate tax parcels (1 Angelus Dr, 63 W Ramapo Rd, 63A W Ramapo Rd, 65 W Ramapo Rd and 69 W Ramapo Rd) totaling 4.88 acres.

In May, Thiells-Roseville Fire District taxpayers voted overwhelmingly to approve the 30-year bond to finance the purchase of 4.88 acres and construct the firehouse. The $24 million dollar bond will cover the cost of acquiring the land and constructing the new facility.

Plans call for a 23,000 square foot, two-story structure with five bays. The building style will reflect Haverstraw’s brick manufacturing history.

Earlier development plans for the site included an assisted living facility, but approvals for the project could not be secured from the Town of Haverstraw.

Paul Adler of Rand Commercial was the sole broker on the deal.
