Phil completed what is considered by many experts to be the most important commercial property sale on Long Island in over 30 years. Phil acted as the exclusive agent for Heartland Development Corp., in its acquisition of a strategically located 460 acre site improved with over 3,000,000 sq. ft. of buildings, from the state of New York. Phil performed feasibility studies, financial analysis, environmental summaries, and assisted Heartland throughout the demanding and risk filled 5 year process. The acquisition closed in January of 2002. The road to success was blocked by environmental and zoning concerns, massive and uncertain infrastructure upgrades, a well publicized political scandal, 3 separate bidding phases, and numerous other obstacles.
