New York State's court system will move into new, 16,021-square-foot offices in Uniondale next year.
The New York State Unified Court System will use the office space at 100 Quentin Roosevelt Blvd. for judges' chambers and offices for non-judicial staff, said Andrew Wiener, head of commercial leasing at The Feil Organization, which owns the building.
The Feil Organization agreed to lease part of the third floor to the court system in October, and will build out the new offices before the court system moves in, Wiener added.
The New York State Unified Court System leased the new offices to relocate the Appellate Division, Second Department Justices, who mostly hear arguments in the Second Department Courthouse in Brooklyn but have chambers in Nassau County, said Al Baker, a spokesperson for the system. The space will also serve as workstations for 30 non-judicial Second Department staffers, Baker added.
“The UCS has a shortage of courtroom space in the Nassau County Courthouse, which we need for Supreme Court Justices who try cases there,” Baker said.
The Quentin Roosevelt Boulevard building, dubbed Garden City Center, sits a short drive from Nassau County Supreme Court, at 100 Supreme Court Dr. and Garden City Justice Court at 349 Stewart Ave. The commute made the building more attractive to the court system, Wiener added.
"Proximity, obviously, to the courthouse was key," Wiener said. "I think they were definitely attracted to the building as we have a ton of parking."
The building holds a handful of law firms, including Russo Law Group and Martello & LaMagna, according to the law firms' websites. The law firm Cullen and Dykman previously leased a significant portion of the building, Wiener said, though Cullen and Dykman moved to 333 Earle Ovington Blvd. in Uniondale in 2023, according to a news release from the company.
The Feil Organization renovated the building's lobby, atrium, landscaping and elevators after Cullen Dykman relocated, Wiener added.
