Key Development Site In Nanuet TOD Sells For $15.5 Million

Former Azar Display SiteFive lots on Prospect Avenue in Nanuet totaling just over 5.5 acres in the heart of Clarkstown’s Nanuet Transit Oriented Development sold for $15.5 million. The sellers were 18 & 29 Prospect NY LLC and Rimzco LLC. The buyer is The Nanuet Commons LLC.

No plans for the property have been formally presented to either Clarkstown’s Technical Advisory Board or to the Planning Board, but the property is zoned TOD-1 and TOD-2 which both allow multifamily residential development. According to a source, the plan for Nanuet Commons includes about 250 one- and two-bedroom apartments, a green space, and a small park that will be open to the public.

In June 2019, Clarkstown voted to rezone the heart of Nanuet’s business district into a cluster of dense residential housing and light commercial that is designed for walkability and train use. The 37-acre TOD, which is divided in three parts, caps housing units at 500. The original plan called for 750 housing units but was downsized to satisfy New York State Department of Transportation’s traffic concerns on state roads.

An earlier attempt to acquire the land for $20 million and develop the property by Sterling Development Group of Livingston, NJ with 252 units of multi-family housing was abruptly withdrawn in 2023.

The zoning in the Nanuet TOD limits both the number of units per acre and the size of the units. Construction of residential units in the TOD is limited to 3-story buildings and a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment units. There has been no residential development in the Nanuet TOD since its creation in 2019.
