Robert Martin Co. breaks ground on two flex-industrial buildings

Hawthorne, NY Robert Martin Company (RMC) broke ground October 18 on the construction of two, flex-industrial buildings – combining for over 71,000 s/f of new space – within RMC’s Mid-Westchester Executive Park. Representatives from the town of Mount Pleasant and Westchester County joined executives from RMC, Fieldpoint Private Bank, and community leaders for the milestone. Construction on 14 (34,738 s/f) and 16 (36,360 s/f) Skyline Dr. is expected to be completed in Q3 of 2025.

RMC’s in-house construction and development team, led by executive vice president Damian Finley, will oversee the construction of 14 and 16 Skyline. RM Friedland is the brokerage firm of record for the new properties.

RMC CEO Tim Jones said, “RMC remains a long-term investor in Westchester, as the County remains a significant driver of economic growth for the region, and the investment in these new, flex-industrial buildings reflects that belief.”

“Robert Martin has been an integral part of the Town of Mount Pleasant since the late 1960s by building millions of s/f of commercial space, which benefits taxpayers. We do appreciate Robert Martin’s investment in the town of Mount Pleasant and we look forward to working with them,” said Mount Pleasant town supervisor Carl Fulgenzi.

To date, RMC has signed nearly 300,000 s/f of new leases and renewals at its properties in Westchester, including Los Niños Services (new/15 Skyline Dr., Hawthorne/22,500 s/f), an agency serving the developmental needs of young children and their families in the NYC region, and Emigrant Bank (renewal/7 Westchester Plaza, Elmsford/34,600 s/f). Among other larger leases signed this year include: quantum computing research and development leader, Hypres (renewal/175 Clearbrook Rd., Elmsford/19,000 s/f); Northeast-based bakery and café chain, Tatte Holdings (new/400 Executive Blvd., Elmsford/18,000 s/f); electrical equipment supplier, Precision Switchboard (renewal/5 Skyline Dr., Hawthorne/19,000 s/f); and WestCOP, a not-for-profit, multi-purpose social services organization (renewal/2 Westchester Plaza, Elmsford/13,312 s/f), among others.

The strong leasing activity and diversity of tenants reflect the ongoing vitality of Robert Martin Company’s flex-industrial park properties located near Westchester County’s network of interconnecting major roadways with access to millions of business customers, consumers, and skilled workers within a short driving distance.
