The deal for two properties breaks down to roughly $430 per built square foot.<\/p>\n<p>An affiliate of the Bregman Organization, led by Paul Bregman, sold the buildings at 2712 Hylan Boulevard and 2754 Hylan Boulevard. Both are part of the Tysens Park Shopping Center; the former is occupied by Rumble Boxing Gym, while the latter is occupied by Stop &amp; Shop.<\/p>\n<p>Both buyer and seller failed to immediately respond to requests for comment from the publication.<\/p>\n<p>What may prove most interesting to TA Realty is the properties\u2019 potential for redevelopment. While the buildings only span 184,000 square feet of built space, they include another 632,000 square feet of air rights, according to PincusCo. That means TA Realty, which owns approximately 230 sites in the country, has 819,000 square feet of buildable space to play with as-of-right.<\/p>\n<p>In February, TA Realty sold a 273-unit NoDa Flats apartment complex in Charlotte to Richmond, Virginia-based GrayCo for $75 million. The sale marked a near break-even exit for the Boston-based investment manager, which purchased the property in 2021 for $74.2 million. It also represented an <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/national\/charlotte\/2026\/02\/04\/ta-realty-exits-charlotte-with-sale-of-apartments-for-75m\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">exit<\/a> from the Charlotte market for the firm.<\/p>\n<p>Bregman doesn\u2019t appear to have many more properties to exit from these days. Its portfolio appears to be limited to three Long Island holdings: Kohl\u2019s Plaza Shopping Center in Lake Ronkonkoma, Jayne Plaza in Port Jefferson Station and a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Shirley.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on Staten Island, Wagner College recently <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/new-york\/2026\/05\/13\/academic-wagner-buys-st-johns-campus-on-staten-island\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">agreed to purchase<\/a> St. John\u2019s University\u2019s 16.5-acre Staten Island campus in Grymes Hill. The purchase price was not disclosed, but the campus was last asking $35 million.<\/p>\n<p>Wagner, which is based a quarter mile away, plans to integrate the campus into its academic footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/author\/holden-walter-warner\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Holden Walter-Warner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\tRead more<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"BlogrollPost\" href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/national\/charlotte\/2026\/02\/04\/ta-realty-exits-charlotte-with-sale-of-apartments-for-75m\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CHA-NAT_TA-Realty-200x133.jpg\" class=\"FeaturedImage_image wp-post-image\" alt=\"GrayCo chairman and CEO Lawrence L.
