New York City historically has been a hub for U.S. manufacturing. Many renowned companies like Procter & Gamble, William Wrigley’s Company, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, The S.S. White Dental Factory (which was the largest manufacturer of dental products in the world), Constanz Brewery, and many others have housed factories in Staten Island. These factories were responsible for the production of beer, milk, steel, some of the country’s favorite gum (Juicy Fruit and Wrigley’s Spearmint), and various other products. In this regard, Staten Island has played an integral part in the industrial revolution of the United States.
Staten Island’s unique geographic characteristics have also made it a prime location for U.S. military bases like Fort Wadsworth and United States Naval Base New York. Fort Wadsworth is one of the oldest military installations in the U.S. with construction dating back to the 1600’s. The fort was a natural defense point as it overlooks the harbor.
This new listing is a remnant of the industrial era of New York City. It’s only fitting that Casandra Properties was tapped to collaborate on this listing. This approximate 5 acres of land is the only manufacturing zone waterfront property in New York City with riparian water rights. This gives exclusive rights to use of the waterway adjacent to this land, making this the perfect fit for shipping or marine companies. The plot is situated in close proximity to the New York/New Jersey Port terminal and is close to major highways making it highly accessible. The property sits on the waterfront of Mariner’s Harbor.
This Staten Island neighborhood was home to Bethlehem Steele in the first half of the 19th century. During World War 2, Bethlehem Steele built United States Navy Destroyers. Today, this listing neighbors smaller towing and transportation companies, McAllister Towing and Transportation Co. and K-Sea Transportation Inc.
The unique elements of this property and the rich history of Staten Island’s waterfront neighborhoods truly makes this listing one of a kind!
