BAY SHORE, NY — A 172,622-square-foot distribution center in Bay Shore is nearing completion.

The Rockefeller Group, which purchased 55 Paradise Lane in 2020 for $32 million, announced on its website that the center is scheduled to open in the spring.

It also bought two adjacent warehouses, totaling in 437,998 square feet at 145 and 158 Candlewood Road for $94.5 million from an affiliate of Rubie’s Costume Company last year, Long Island Business News said.

The building, also known as Rockefeller Group Logistics Park, features 36-foot-clear ceiling heights, 47.6-foot by 54-foot column spacing, 40 dock doors for trailers and two overhead doors. The property has parking for 270 vehicles.

Rockefeller Group also has local approvals to build 7,317 square feet of office mezzanine space and 21,280 square feet of storage mezzanine.

It intends to make the building one of the "premier distribution facilities" on the South Shore, according to the construction's website.

"Rockefeller Group has long recognized Long Island as an important market for industrial development," the company stated on its website. "This project, which will deliver new Class A industrial along with two existing buildings on the site, will provide Long Island with quality distribution space as the market continues to evolve and last-mile locations grow in demand."
