Village of Brewster
Brewster Crossing (VOB Revitalization)
Just as Brewster Crossing revitalization was nearing its launch, developer Joe Cotter, died suddenly on October 25, 2024, at the age of 66. This is a Transit Oriented Development project which had submitted its application for IDA benefits. To date, no replacement developers have been found. DORMANT.
Garden Street School
This school built in 1925 has been empty for roughly 20 years. It was purchased in 2020 by 20 Garden St, LLC, a realty company located in Brooklyn for $1,475,000, then refinanced for +-$2.5M. The property was in foreclosure.
Property was purchased on March 31 with the intent of repurposing the building into residential rentals.
Town of Carmel
Braemar Living – 49 Seminary Hill Road Carmel
After being authorized for PCIDA benefits, the closing was postponed due to the financial collapse of their bank. This assisted Living project is on hold. However, they applied for and received a one-year extension for the project. DORMANT.
Diamond Point Development
Construction is complete on this self-storage project on the 31-acre former Zipkin Farm on Baldwin Road.
Fable Foods wants the owner to subdivide the property and sell 20-acres to Fable Foods as a farm, market, education center, and event space. Meanwhile, the Town has ruled that there will be no more self-storage facilities. As this location is already approved for a second self-storage building, the value of the property has vastly increased and talks between Fable Foods and the owner have gone silent. Nothing has been submitted to the Town to date. DORMANT.
Centennial Golf Club
Centennial Golf Club has received approval for the construction of 60 townhomes. This would reduce its courses from 27 to 18 holes. They previously received approval for the town of Southeast to move 228 parking spaces from their current location in Carmel to the Southeast. APPROVED. Moving forward.
Gleneida Distillery NY Inc. Project:
The proposed Gleneida Distillery NY Inc. at 39-41 Seminary Hill Road (13 acres) and 1801 Route 6 (17 Acres), Carmel has been in progress for several years.
In October 2023, the Alexandrion Group announced their plans to downsize the proposed distillery and to add a 250-room destination Hotel/Convention Center to this project. This would require new approvals from the Carmel Planning Board and an updated application for benefits from the Putnam County Industrial Development Agency (PCIDA).
Nawaf Salameh, the Founder and President of Alexandrion Group, which specializes in spirits and wine production, died suddenly in April 2025 at the age of 59.
We have been informed that one of Mr. Salameh’s three sons will be the new President and he has stated his commitment to their Project. As of the end of December, the Town has received nothing new. DORMANT.
