60 Bay Street
In the heart of St. George, with the Staten Island Ferry just across the street, 60 Bay is the perfect convenient, economic alternative to downtown Manhattan. This newly renovated office building offers spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and the New York Harbor. Located one block away from the current Federal and NY State Courts and Borough Hall, 60 Bay Street is largely occupied by law offices and legal-related companies.
Recent upgrades to the property include high-speed elevators, a new lobby and state-of the-art wiring for internet and telecommunication systems. 60 Bay Street is easily accessible from Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey via the Verrazano Narrows and Bayonne Bridges, the Manhattan Ferry and Staten Island rapid transit. Valet parking in an enclosed attached garage can hold over 100 cars.
4456 Amboy Road
This two-story masonry commercial building is adjacent to the Eltingville Shopping Center, part of the main business district in the fast-growing South Shore community of Staten Island. It is a block away from a major commercial intersection (Amboy Road and Richmond Avenue) and the Staten Island Rapid Transit Eltingville train station. Ample parking, easy access to transportation and other conveniences make 4456 Amboy Road, like its sister property 4434 Amboy Road, an ideal location for local office users.
