Nassau-Suffolk, NY (1888PressRelease) July 03, 2014 - North Plainfield, N.J.-based Levin Management has announced two lease agreements totaling 7,400 square feet at 35-71 South Ocean Ave., a 23,000-square-foot storefront retail space in downtown Patchogue. The new tenants include sushi restaurant 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge (4,900 square feet) and apparel retailer Jeans Fashion (2,500 square feet).

Levin's Senior Leasing Representative Jake Frantzman negotiated the transactions on behalf of 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge and Jeans Fashion.

Patchogue, located on the South Shore of Long Island, N.Y., is undergoing a dramatic rebirth that is transforming the 2.2-square-mile village into a dining, arts and entertainment hub. New Village at Patchogue - a $100 million mixed-use development now under construction at the site of the former Swezey's department store - is enhancing the urban fabric of the town and promoting Patchogue as an active, pedestrian-friendly community.

"Patchogue's revitalization efforts are bringing a whole new energy to the downtown area, making it a very exciting place in which to live, visit and conduct business," said Frantzman. "35-71 South Ocean Ave. is ideally located just one-half block away from the New Village development, which will include more than 291 apartment units and hundreds of new residential tenants. 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge and Jeans Fashion will benefit from these strong demographics, as well as outstanding transportation access."

With its fresh approach to sushi and Pan Asian fare, 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge will serve up a broad menu of imaginative cuisine in a stylish and comfortable setting. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, as well as Sunday brunch, according to Cindy Chan, an experienced restaurateur who owns 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge along with two business partners. "Patchogue is an amazing town that is in the midst of a wonderful revival. It was the perfect location for 360 Taiko Sushi & Lounge, and we look forward to introducing an innovative and exciting dining experience to the community," said Chan.

35-71 South Ocean Ave. is situated in downtown Patchogue, N.Y., just over one mile south of The Sunrise Highway and less than five miles away from the Long Island Expressway. It is three blocks away from the Long Island Railroad; and is within walking distance to the Fire Island National Seashore Ferry and rail service to Manhattan, The Hamptons and Montauk.

The recently renovated property serves a growing residential population of almost 160,000 people within a five mile radius. The marketplace offers an average household income of more than $91,000 and Main Street's traffic count exceeds 26,000 vehicles per day. 35-71 South Ocean Ave., already home to a 7,700-square-foot Family Dollar store among other tenants, is an ideal location for a range of retail, service and medical uses.
