Physical Fitness Facility to Occupy Vacant Space at Inwood Shopping Center

Wayne G. Edwards, a Partner with the Firm, successfully obtained zoning approvals from the Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals on behalf of Brixmor Real Estate Investment Trust to lease 20,000 square feet of space to a new fitness center at Falcaro’s Plaza Shopping Center, located on the corner of Burnside Avenue and Rockaway Turnpike in Inwood. In addition, Mr. Edwards obtained parking variances for the fitness center.

The transaction is part of a growing trend in which shuttered brick-and-mortar shopping centers are being transformed into restaurants, specialty retail and health service centers, such as physical fitness facilities. Mr. Edwards has handled a number of these conversions on behalf of landlords and tenants as part of his commercial real estate, zoning and land use practice.
