Vacant Storefront at 617 Jericho Turnpike

Next to the New Hyde Park Animal Hospital on Jericho Turnpike is a store that has been vacant for quite some time now. What makes it special, though, is the fact that it can be used as more than just a storefront.

The building is, in total, 3,500 square feet. That includes the storefront, a full basement and two 2-bedroom apartments which can be used either by the owner or rented out to pull in more profit.

The space costs $650,000 in total at about $185 per square foot. It sits at a very heavy traffic site on Jericho Turnpike, located in between Seventh Street and Eighth Street. It is also right down the street from a .

Patch will regularly spotlight vacant commercial properties in effort to initiate a discussion within the community about alternative uses for these abandoned places. If you’d like to know more about a specific property, please also comment below.
