Joseph Farkas

Bayport, NY Joseph Farkas, CEO and founder of Metropolitan Realty Associates LLC (“MRA”), has executed hard contracts to acquire 33 Rajon Rd. for $12.6 million. The site is made up of three tax lots, comprising approximately 11.5 acres, and is visible from Sunrise Hwy. The largest lot contains a 75,000 s/f, single-story industrial building, leased by Europastry USA.

MRA is currently developing plans to rezone and develop the sites, which assuming proper review and approvals, will include two freestanding, single-story industrial warehouse and distribution buildings containing approximately 172,000 s/f.

Farkas said, “We are excited to acquire a large, industrial development parcel with significant frontage along Sunrise Hwy. at a basis that makes new class A industrial warehouse development feasible. New construction continues to attract best-in-class users and top of market rental rates, despite rising construction pricing and supply chain uncertainty, making this a compelling investment.” 

The 33 Rajon Rd. site is currently owned by WilJa Holding Corp. and Richlaine Enhancements LLC. Nicholas Gallipoli of Cushman & Wakefield of Long Island represents the seller and Douglas Omstrom of JLL represents MRA on the transaction.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
