Industrial Land Lease – Staten Island

Arthur Kill Waterfront Industrial Center

A Rare Waterfront Industrial Development Opportunity in New York City

Arthur Kill Waterfront Industrial Center represents one of the most unique large-scale industrial development opportunities in the Northeast. Situated on approximately 69 acres along the Arthur Kill waterfront on Staten Island, the site offers the ability to develop over 1 million square feet of modern industrial and manufacturing facilities in a location where large contiguous industrial land parcels are increasingly scarce.

The property’s waterfront setting creates a strategic advantage for manufacturers, logistics operators, maritime-related businesses, energy infrastructure users, and industrial occupiers seeking direct access to regional transportation networks. With frontage along the Arthur Kill waterway, the site offers the potential for water-dependent and water-enhanced industrial uses that cannot be replicated at traditional inland industrial parks. The conceptual plan envisions approximately 1.08 million square feet of industrial development across four modern facilities designed to accommodate manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and industrial operations.

What truly differentiates this opportunity is the availability of competitive long-term ground lease structures, allowing tenants and operators to secure a strategic New York City location without the significant capital requirements associated with fee ownership. This creates an attractive solution for manufacturers and industrial users seeking long-term certainty, operational flexibility, and reduced upfront costs while maintaining access to one of the largest consumer markets in the world.

The site benefits from proximity to major transportation infrastructure, including regional highways, ports, rail connections, and the broader New York Harbor industrial ecosystem. Combined with its waterfront location, large-scale development potential, and flexible ground lease economics, Arthur Kill Waterfront Industrial Center is uniquely positioned to attract next-generation manufacturing, clean technology, maritime, logistics, and industrial users.
