This property represents one of the most compelling infill redevelopment opportunities on the South Shore. With a combined 20,000 SF footprint—split between a 10,000 SF existing retail structure and a 10,000 SF dedicated parking lot—the site offers the scale, zoning flexibility, and municipal support required for a transformative project in the heart of the Village of Lindenhurst.
Located within the Business (B) District, the property provides a strong foundation for developers seeking to capitalize on Lindenhurst’s ongoing downtown revitalization. The B-Zone allows a broad range of commercial uses and, subject to Village review, presents a pathway for mixed-use development, increased density, and modernized building programs that align with the Village’s long-term planning objectives.
Key Development Advantages
Large footprint suitable for ground-up construction or phased redevelopment
Existing 10,000 SF structure offers adaptive reuse potential or a cost-effective shell for repositioning
10,000 SF parking lot provides flexibility for:
Required parking ratios
Future building expansion
Structured parking
Outdoor dining, plazas, or amenity space
Walkable downtown location with strong demand drivers: restaurants, breweries, boutique retail, and new residential growth
Supportive municipal environment—Village leadership is actively encouraging thoughtful redevelopment that enhances the downtown core
Potential Development Paths
Mixed-Use Building (Retail + Residential/Office)
The site’s size and parking capacity make it a strong candidate for a multi-story mixed-use project, subject to Village review.
Developers can explore:
Ground-floor retail or restaurant space
Upper-floor residential units
Boutique office or medical suites
Activated streetscape improvements
Retail or Commercial Repositioning
Retain and modernize the existing 10,000 SF structure to attract:
National or regional retailers
Fitness, wellness, or medical operators
Food-and-beverage concepts
Specialty grocers or experiential tenants
Comprehensive Redevelopment
Full demolition and new construction to maximize FAR, improve site circulation, and deliver a best-in-class downtown asset aligned with current market demand.
Strategic Timing. There is an additional 7,700 building/lot located at 271 S. 1st St behind the main structure that ownership would consider selling thus squaring off the site.
Lindenhurst is in the midst of a multi-year revitalization cycle, with new residential density, upgraded infrastructure, and a thriving restaurant and brewery scene. This property sits at the center of that momentum, offering developers a rare opportunity to shape the next phase of the Village’s evolution.
