New $220 million state courthouse opening on Central Street next year leads to three leases for a Bay Street property nearby.
Talk about the long arm of the law: The opening of a new courthouse in Staten Island next year is already benefiting nearby landlord Muss Development, which recently signed a total of 17,000 square feet in leases with three different organizations at its 60 Bay St. office building.
The $220 million, 182,720-square-foot courthouse nearby is scheduled to open on Central Street in 2012. It will house a New York state Supreme Court, Criminal Court and Jury Assembly, which are currently in separate buildings.

I’ll be interested in reading about what you learn regarding the zoning regs there because the absence of strip development is one of BI’s many charms. The Old Harbor area — the area with the “main street” that you referred to — is a historic district, if I remember correctly, and is controlled fairly strictly. New Harbor is a different matter — newer, not well-designed, tougher to use, although people with boats seem to like it.Another amazing thing about Block Island is that every inch of the shoreline is open to the public (with the possible exception of a small beach at Ballard’s which you wouldn’t want to use anyway unless drunken rowdiness is your thing). You don’t have to pay to park, you don’t have to display a permit, you don’t have to do anything except get yourself there. Is there another town in the northeast like that?
Really informative post.Really thank you!
