Empty East Hampton plots once owned by David Geffen sell for combined $24M
Two parcels of land that media mogul David Geffen once owned sold for $17.2 million and $6.8 million respectively, 27East first reported. The plots 20 and 24 West End Road were once part of the estate of Courtney Ross, widow to ex-Time Warner CEO Steve Ross. Geffen bought the land, which included a third parcel, in 2014, but then sold all three two years later for $67.3 million in order to buy a Lily Pond estate for $70 million. Most recently, 20 and 24 West End Road sold to LLCs named after their addresses. Bespoke Real Estate handled the most recent listings and sales of the parcels. [27East]

Rechler Equity Partners in talks with Westhampton officials to build a community center
Westhampton officials are in preliminary talks with Rechler Equity Partners to build a community center in the Hampton Business District, an area near Francis S. Gabreski Airport that the Plainview-based firm is already building and operating. Town officials initially floated the idea of a day care, but are now pushing for an up to 5,000-square-foot space for seniors and others to meet. When the idea first cropped up 15 years ago, town officials thought a new center would cost about $8.5 million, but now believe Rechler could save them as much as $3.5 million on the project.

One of the addresses also already has a permit to build a 3,500-square-foot home with a waterside pool. Corcoran Group’s Michael Shultz and Susan Ryan handled the listing. [Curbed]
