KI Legal Announces Closing of Long-Term Ground and Development Lease Valued Near $60 Million Dollars

KI Legal is proud to announce the closing of a long-term ground and development lease having represented its landlord client, the Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Staten Island. The tenant was the well-known and established educational institution, Hellenic Classical Charter Schools (HCCS). This marks HCCS’s expansion to its second location now located at 1641 Richmond Avenue, Staten Island, NY.

KI Legal co-founding Partner, Michael Iakovou represented the landlord over a course of almost two years, culminating in the successful closing of a 49-year ground and development lease valued at nearly $60 Million. Final New York State Attorney General approval was facilitated by KI Legal associate attorney, Maria Filindarakis.

Iakovou comments, “This partnership will assist in securing a bright future for both the landlord and the surrounding demographics for decades to come. We congratulate all parties involved.”

HCCS will develop and further expand, with a new school building totaling over 48,000 square feet and further growing to grades 3-8. The new building will include specialized classrooms, an auditorium, and a technology-driven library. Additionally, HCCS will embark on supplemental leasehold improvements including updated HVAC, elevators, and structural and aesthetic renovations that will enhance the learning environment for students throughout the campus.
