J Money Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 That would be huge. The whole Hempstead corridor inside the loop is bound for massive redevelopment. You can already see it with Sommerset Green and the Intown Homes developments adjacent to this plot. Connectivity is a bit wonky, with all the train tracks and street name changes making it a bit difficult to navigate if you're unfamiliar. But I feel like this area has so much potential to be another quality neighborhood with lots of great amenities. Fingers crossed the new owners push for the hypothetical MKT to Memorial Park extension. A bit wary of the McNair name though. From what I've seen they've promised a lot on prior proposals but have never fully delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
