Developer Acquires Large Manufacturing Site At 23-30 Borden Avenue, Long Island City

Developer Atlas Capital Group LLC, which done work across the country, has acquired the 276,705-square-foot warehouse at 23-30 Borden Avenue, in southern Long Island City, for $48 million. Bloomberg Business reports the warehouse serves as the home of Fresh Direct LLC, an online grocer, although the company will soon move to a new location currently being constructed in the Bronx. The Long Island City site is located within a manufacturing zone (M3-2) and currently yields 129,847 square feet of additional development rights under current zoning. But that could change if the developer initiates a zoning change or if the city moves forward with a general rezoning of the area, which could possibly allow for residential units to be built in this industrial section. Who is behind Atlas Capital Group, LLC? That will remain a mystery until the sale is complete.
