Owners eye replacing Westhampton Beach building with something bigger

Stephen Matri and Lance Farlow, the owners of 115 Main Street in the Village of Westhampton Beach, have applied for permission to demolish the structure and replace it with a two-story building, 27east reported. Matri and Farlow, operating under the limited liability company SKL Realty Holdings, are working with a partner whose name hasn’t been publicized. In the new building’s ground floor, SKL hopes to create two retail spaces, a restaurant and a bar. Atop that the property owners want to place an apartment and an office unit. The next building on the site would be 3,400 square feet, larger than the current 2,974-square-foot structure. SKK needs to get a variance in order to install a new septic system. The retail store Shock, which has operated on the site for years, will have a place in the next building. In the meantime, Shock may temporarily move across the street to a unit at 128 Main Street, which Matri and Farlow’s company recently bought from Simon Jorna, the onetime owner of Beach Bakery Grand Cafe, the latter of which was recently sold after listing last year for $5.75 million. Matri and Farlow hope to begin building at 115 Main Street in September and finish by June 2020. [27east]
