improved functionality of the website

customers can have their shipments

New York-based developer Triangle
Equities $25.4 million acquisition of a
development site located near John
F. Kennedy International Airport in
Queens, New York is moving forward.
The project site is to be developed
as a state-of-the-art, approximately
300,000-square-foot, multi-level
industrial building. The facility will
be the fi rst multi-level, multi-tenant air
cargo and distribution facility in New
York City. Triangle executed the land
acquisition and development fi nancing
through a strategic partnership with a
pension fund advised by L&B Realty
Advisors, an acquisition loan from
Citizens Bank and additional equity
capital from Township Capital.
The three-story industrial and air
cargo facility will feature fi rst- and
second-fl oor industrial space – both
fl oors will have loading docks accessed
via truck ramps, permitting full-sized
trailers to dock, load and unload
directly into their fl oors. The project
is focused to deliver new-construction,
Class A industrial space to the JFK
market .
“With this site, we will be able to
develop a unique product that has
not yet been delivered to the New
York City industrial sector,” said
Lester Petracca, President of Triangle
Equities. “By making this a vertical,
multi-level facility, we are able to
maximize use of the site, thereby
increasing the potential impact this
project will have on the growth of air
cargo at JFK airport and the New York
City economy.”
“We have seen a paradigm shift in
the retail and industrial sectors and
this facility will offer tenants an ideal
opportunity for air cargo business,
third-party logistics and e-commerce
distribution fi rms to enter or expand
within this urban market,” said
Josh Weingarten, Director of Capital
Markets at Triangle Equities. “We
have put together a best-in-class design
and construction team and are eager
to begin construction of this much
needed product.”
“Our compliments and continued
support to Triangle Equities for being
on the forefront of multi-story logistics
development in the United States,”
said William Butler of Citizens
Bank. “The team in place at Triangle
Equities excels at completing highly
structured transactions with added
complexity and the proposed multilevel
industrial is another example of
forward thinking development at an
intricate location.”
“The maturation of the e-commerce
market creates a growing need for lastmile
distribution centers in the largest
land-constrained US markets,” said
Township Capitals’s CEO, Matthew
Gorelik. “The location relative to JFK
Airport and core strength of the New
York market provide a tremendous
opportunity for superior risk-adjusted
returns through increasing access to
Class A industrial space abutting the
airport, providing best-in class space
to facilitate operational improvements,
and more effi cient and direct access to
the airport for air cargo related service
providers”.
On January 16, 2019 CBP offi cers
conducting a routine inspection of a
shipment from Hong Kong discovered
and seized counterfeit watches worth
an estimated manufacturer suggested
retail price of $3.7 million, had they
been genuine. The seized watches
were infringing on the Michael
Kors, Rolex, Piguet, Hublot, and Nike
trademarks.
“CBP Offi cers are protecting
the American public from various
dangers on a daily basis,” said Troy
Miller, Director of CBP’s New York
Field Operations. “The interception
of these counterfeit watches is a
direct refl ection of the vigilance and
commitment to mission success by
our CBP Offi cers daily.”
CBP protects businesses and
consumers every day through an
aggressive Intellectual Property
Rights (IPR) enforcement program,
and IPR enforcement is a CBP Priority
Trade Issue.
The theft of intellectual property
and the trade in substandard and
often dangerous goods threatens
America’s innovation economy and
consumer health and safety, and it
generates proceeds that fund criminal
activities and organized crime. CBP
has established the Truth Behind
Counterfeits educational campaign
in order to raise consumer awareness
about these consequences that can
be associated with the purchase of
counterfeit and pirated goods. For
