Long Island’s Colliers International branch gets “most ingenious deal of the year” award

The brokerage Colliers International Long Island was awarded the  “most ingenious deal of the year” honor at the annual awards dinner of the Association for a Better Long Island and the Commercial Industrial Brokers Society last week. Colliers earned the distinction for selling the former Pall Corp. building in Port Washington to Kiss Nail Products for $30 million. The building’s labs and office space had previously been a challenge to market, Newsday noted, but the brokerage closed the sale in part by getting sell Pall to agree to lease out 90,000 square feet of the  272,000-square-foot building. Colliers’ Gus Nuzzolese, Darren Leiderman, Jason Meietta and Ken Enos were behind the deal. Rechler Equity Partners was awarded best developer of the year for its $250 million mixed-use rental project in North Amityville. [Newsday]
