Summary, model-written

Former Sears property in Hicksville, NY, is under construction as a mixed-use development. Seritage is developing 425 rental apartments, office space, retail (including existing TD Bank and Chipotle), a grocery store, cinema, and fitness center, with 5 acres of green space. The project aligns with the site’s strategy to redevelop into housing, office, and retail.

Why. The development is active (under construction), supported by local housing demand (median rent $2,195) and a $851,504 ZHVI. Nearby context includes Grumman Bethpage Airport (4km) and an unknown-status mall (6.5km). Retail establishments in Nassau County have declined (-10.4% since 2012), but the site’s housing focus matches market trends.

Where it stands. Construction permits show 607+ residential units approved for 2024 ($403M value). The site’s status is active, but the Mall at the Source (6.5km) status is unknown. No environmental or infrastructure constraints noted in the record.

For a planner

Green space (5 acres) and mixed-use retail are integrated into the plan.
Traffic: Principal arterial with 48,155 ADT (2024), 4 lanes.

For a developer

Median rent ($2,195) and ZHVI ($851,504) validate housing demand.
Existing tenants (Chipotle, TD Bank) remain, reducing tenant acquisition risk.

What we do not know yet

Mall at the Source status (6.5km) is unknown.
No data on construction timeline or completion date.
