Simone Development Companies, a full service real estate investment company, continues to expand its portfolio of commercial and retail properties in the New York Metro area with its recent acquisition of the former Verizon call center. Located at 2510 Westchester Ave., the three-story building features 60,000 s/f of space, an onsite parking garage and a telecommunications and data infrastructure. Simone Development plans to completely renovate the building with a new facade and market it as a mixed-use property well-suited for office and retail space as well as professional medical space. The building can accommodate space requirements starting at 1,500 s/f. Located in the Westchester Square area of the Bronx, the building is just steps away from the Westchester Square subway station. "We are very pleased with the acquisition of this prime commercial property which is well positioned for a wide range of uses from office to retail to medical. This property is particularly attractive for medical practices which are looking to gain access to a large and growing patient base," said Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development Cos.
