Marking a new chapter in its history, The Advantage Group has moved into its newly renovated headquarters, upgrading its facilities to take advantage of new business opportunities. Advantage has moved into 14,000 s/f at the office building at 201 Old Country Rd.
Paul Amoruso, principal of Oxford and Simpson brokered the 10-year lease with 201 Metro LLC, an affiliate of real estate investor John Cacoulidis' Grand Metro Builders of New York Corp. Advantage, working with Amoruso had undertaken a thorough search for a location that could meet the company's growing needs.
Advantage had its headquarters in downtown Huntington for the past 25 years, but Advantage president Joe Willen said the company's former space had become functionally obsolete and that a new modern space was necessary to allow the company to take advantage of growth opportunities that arise as the country comes out of the recession.
"This site married our desire for great space, a lot of natural light, and a top location, along with all the amenities we were looking for in a building," Willen said of the company's new headquarters, which were designed by the TPG Group of Melville. "We wanted a building that reflects our success and promising outlook."
Moreover, he said, "201 Old Country Rd. is a beautiful building located in the heart of Melville, the corporate hub of Suffolk county. Our clients are located throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties and NYC, so the easy access to the highways makes it convenient for our sales team and title closers, as well as increasing our ability to attract top employees."
The building is at the corner of Old Country Rd. and Rte. 110 (Broad Hollow Rd.) with access to the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Pkwy.
The 220,743 s/f class A office building has long been home to highly visible corporate tenants. Advantage joins Marchon Eyewear as a tenant in the building whose previous occupants included the Long Island Savings Bank, Keyspan and One Beacon Insurance, among others.
