Description

This solicitation invites qualified individuals or organizations to lease two historic beach‑club properties (Silver Gull Beach Club and Breezy Point Surf Club) located within the Gateway National Recreation Area, Queens, New York. The lessee will assume responsibility for extensive initial capital improvements—including fire‑hydrant, wastewater, lead‑asbestos abatement, and pool upgrades—while operating seasonal recreational services such as swimming, dining, sports courts, and event rentals. The lease is “as‑is, with all faults,” runs up to 30 years, and requires a minimum Fair Market Value Rent of $526,490/yr for Silver Gull and $513,700/yr for Breezy Point (net, NNN). The NPS retains strict historic‑preservation standards, environmental protections, and full liability for maintenance, utilities, insurance, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. • Lease two historic beach‑club sites with extensive existing facilities (cabins, pools, sports courts, food‑service buildings). • Required upfront capital improvements (fire, wastewater, lead, asbestos, code upgrades) financed entirely by the lessee. • Minimum annual rent ≈ $1.04 M (combined) with CPI adjustments; lease term up to 30 years, no renewal rights. • Lessee must manage all operations, maintenance, utilities, insurance, and historic‑preservation compliance. • Competitive process with rolling submissions if no responsive proposal received by initial deadline.

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $30,000,000

The lease requires a minimum combined annual rent of roughly $1.04 million, but the lessee will generate revenue from seasonal passes, rentals, food‑beverage sales, and event hosting. Assuming average occupancy and modest profit margins (10‑20 % of gross revenue), annual net earnings could range from $1 million to $3 million, yielding total profit over a 30‑year term of $30 million to $90 million. Initial capital outlays for required improvements (fire, wastewater, lead/asbestos abatement, code upgrades) are likely between $10 million and $20 million, which will be offset against rent over time. Thus, the overall financial opportunity spans a low‑end estimate of $5 million to a high‑end potential of $30 million in net profit over the lease life.
