On Thursday, September 21st, 2023, David Viana along with the Village of Mineola Mayor Paul Pereira hosted a tour of downtown Mineola. Representatives from the MTA, NICE Bus, NYU Langone Research & Academic Center and Lalezarian Properties were also in attendance and spoke at the various stops along the tour. The tour highlighted how growth and development throughout the Village over the last decade have been integral to the successful revitalization of Mineola’s downtown. The tour began at the recently completed Mineola Long Island Rail Road Station, which serves as a major transportation hub for all of Nassau County and is a great complement to the ongoing downtown revitalization of Mineola.

The Long Island market is not changing in a uniform way. Class A rents are increasing while Class B and C rents are decreasing. New supply is planned to capture the higher Class A rents, but what does this mean for the lower end buildings? How should zoning, local infrastructure planning, and housing policy evolve to meet this need? Take this opportunity to learn from an appraiser, a banker, a commercial real estate broker, and an affordable housing expert.

Looking forward to seeing everyone later today!
