center offering Long Island's
first multi-level enclosed mall.

offer 2 major department stores
totaling approximately 400,000
sq. ft and about 500,000 of
satellites. There will be all-weather
double level parking
fayfutywt accommodating 5,000 -
cars and an internal mini-bus
service to carry shoppers from
their car to mall entrances.
Breslin reported that his firm
had originally been instrumental
in creating a prior sale of the
same parcel for the original fee
owner, Miller Associates, to
Supermarket General Cor­poration,
formerly known as
Shop-Rite and now known as
Pathmark Stores. The Breslin
firm proceeded to resell the
parcel for the second time for

Great Neck, an affiliate of the
Feldman Bros.
parcel also involved a third
transaction involving a lease­back
of a 60,000 sq. ft. super­market
to Pathmark, who
presently occupies a 40,000 sq. ft.
store in the middle of the 42 acre
site.The existing store will be
demolished to make way for the
regional center and the
relocation of Pathmark will take
place without a loss of even one
business day for the well known
grocery chain.

the negotiations with the 2
major department stores in­volved,
on behalf of the Feldman
