Already given a new name, a 26-acre, two-building office campus in Yorktown Heights is being renovated this winter by its new owner in a $6 million capital project.
GHP Office Realty LLC last fall acquired the former Taconic Corporate Park from a special servicer for Bank of America at a reported price of approximately $11 million after the previous owner defaulted on a $14.5 million mortgage. Renamed the Northern Westchester Executive Park, the complex includes 2649 Strang Blvd., a three-story, 68,000-square-foot medical office building, and 2651 Strang Blvd., a one-story, 150,000-square-foot building with technology, medical, laboratory and call center space.
The mixed-use building also houses the Yorktown campus of Mercy College. About two-thirds of the building has sat vacant since Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield relocated its northern Westchester office to Orange County a few years ago.
GHP in a press release said the renovation project includes demolition of 100,000 square feet of space in the largely vacant building and the addition of Energy Star-rated windows and a state-of-the-art heating and ventilating system that is expected to result in utility costs for tenants that are approximately 30 percent lower than similar buildings in the market.
At 2649 Strang Blvd., renovations will include a new fitness center and café and refurbished common areas. New signage will be added throughout the park.
Health care tenants at 2649 Strang include ENT & Allergy Associates, Hudson Valley Hematology, North Shore-LIJ Health System, Northern Westchester County Dental, Hudson Valley Oral Surgery and Dialysis Clinic Inc.
