Mason Technologies amends plans for new global headquarters facility

Kelly Murphy

Hauppauge, NY After previously receiving assistance from the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) to renovate and expand an existing industrial building, Mason Technologies has amended its plans and now proposes to demolish the existing structure and construct a new facility on the same site.

Mason Technologies, a leader in low-voltage technology integration solutions, originally planned to invest $20.8 million to renovate and expand a 50,000 s/f building at 395 Oser Ave. for its new global headquarters. Following additional consultation with its architect and general contractor, the company determined that constructing a new building would better support its long-term operational needs and future growth.

On Jan. 29, the Suffolk County IDA granted preliminary approval for the project, enabling Mason to move forward with plans to invest nearly $30 million in developing a new 69,120 s/f facility. The project will create a centralized and efficient global headquarters for the company’s existing 237 full-time employees and an additional 25 full-time positions within two years of project completion.

The proposed new facility will include modern office and warehouse space, as well as a dedicated exhibition and event area designed for business networking and demonstrations. By repositioning the building on the 6.1-acre site, the project also allows for a potential future expansion of up to 30,000 s/f.

The revised plan is expected to allow Mason to occupy and operate from the facility approximately 12 months sooner than under the original renovation proposal. Construction of the new facility is anticipated to generate approximately 100 construction jobs. 

“The new project gives us a blank slate and allows us to design a facility that is fully tailored to our operational needs, without the limitations of the existing building,” said Jennifer Mason, president of Mason Technologies. “This would not have been possible without our critical partnership with the Suffolk County IDA. We look forward to developing a headquarters that supports our team and our continued growth.”

“With these amended plans, Mason Technologies is making a long-term investment in Suffolk County and in its workforce,” said Kelly Murphy, executive director of the Suffolk County IDA. “This project reflects the type of thoughtful, forward-looking development that strengthens our local economy and retains high-quality jobs.”

Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Deer Park, Mason Technologies is a Suffolk County– and nationally certified Women’s Business Enterprise. The company provides turnkey and custom integration solutions for structured cabling, audiovisual systems, data centers, and unified security platforms, including access control and CCTV. Mason operates nationwide and is known for its commitment to quality, precision, and a family-driven corporate culture.

Mason Technologies is also the first IDA client to qualify for additional tax benefits under Solar-Up Suffolk, an initiative launched by Suffolk County executive Edward Romaine to encourage the installation of solar energy systems. As part of the incentive package, the company is expected to receive approximately $110,000 in property tax savings in exchange for installing solar panels on the roof of the new facility.
