Calverton Warehouse Park is a two-phase industrial development project currently advancing through the entitlement stage, with groundbreaking anticipated within six months. Each phase of construction is planned to span 12 months. Phase 1 will comprise 55% of the total gross building area (GBA) and include the four frontmost buildings, along with 85% of the site’s infrastructure. This phase will deliver 226,469 square feet of flexible warehouse space and a 1,500-square-foot cafeteria/concession area. Phase 2 will complete the remaining 45% of the GBA, adding 186,160 square feet of warehouse space. Once finished, the development will offer highly adaptable facilities suitable for uses ranging from basic storage to temperature-controlled environments for specialized manufacturing. The site also has potential to accommodate social activity centers or sports complexes. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) has approved a dedicated turning lane and traffic signal for the site, improving connectivity to the nearby expressway located just 2.5 miles away. The project is approaching Final Site Plan Approval, with full entitlement expected by February 2025. The Architectural Review Board has reviewed and approved the design without comment. Two variances have been granted to support project functionality: a 6% increase in impervious surface coverage and an 8-foot height increase, allowing for 30-foot interior clear heights. Situated within federal Opportunity Zone 1697.04, Calverton Warehouse Park presents a compelling investment opportunity, offering both strategic location advantages and attractive tax incentives. The Calverton Industrial Park is a planned 412,000-square-foot warehouse development located at 4285 Middle Country Road, Calverton, NY.
Calverton Development
The site encompasses a 30.5-acre parcel within the Town of Riverhead and is surrounded by a mix of commercial properties, agricultural land, and undeveloped areas. Notably, the property is situated within a designated Opportunity Zone (36103169704).
This development is designed to cater to local small and medium-sized businesses, offering a flexible range of spaces. The plan includes 40 units of 5,000 square feet or smaller and 19 units ranging from 9,000 to 12,000 square feet, with configurations available for spaces up to 50,000 square feet. The eight proposed structures will average 50,000 square feet each, featuring a minimum clear height of 30 feet and clear spans of 50 to 100 feet, depending on unit configuration. The site will include signalized access for 54-foot trailers. Four buildings will feature 21 docking bays for full-size tractor trailers, while the remaining four will offer drive-in bays for each unit. The development is planned in two phases: Phase 1 will cover the front 16.5 acres, and Phase 2 will develop the remaining 14 acres. The current layout includes 326 parking spaces, surpassing the 324 required by code, with 16 accessible stalls. The project has successfully completed the SEQRA process and received final approval from the Riverhead Planning Board. Final site plan approval is underway, with completion expected within 60 days. There is a significant lack of modern, sustainable spaces for small and medium-sized businesses in the area, and this project seeks to address that demand. The facility will provide versatile accommodations for contractors, suppliers, vendors, and other businesses that currently lack suitable options. Similar facilities in the area report occupancy rates of 94-100%, highlighting the strong demand for such spaces. For additional details, please refer to the linked project files.
