Roosevelt Island residents are getting closer and closer to the day in which RIOC is out of the Main Street retail business and a private sector developer taking over this sad and dreary portion of Roosevelt Island. According to RIOC:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a meeting of the Real Estate Development Advisory Committee of the RIOC Board of Directors will be held on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. at the RIOC administrative office, 591 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, New York.
The Committee will meet to finalize the RFP drafted by Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. for the master lease of the Main Street retail.
The audio webcast of May 17 meeting in which the draft Master Leaseholder was presented by Jones Lange LaSalle and discussed by Real Estate Committee is available here. Very interesting discussion and would recommend all interested in Roosevelt Island Main Street retail issues take the time to listen.An audio webcast of the May 25 Real Estate Development Committee meeting will be made available soon thereafter (usually within 2 business days). Audio webcast is now available.
