Staten Island, NY 10301 · Fort Hill Neighborhood · R5 Zoning · Blocks from the Ferry
Two contiguous parcels are offered together on Daniel Low Terrace in one of Staten Island's most actively evolving neighborhoods — St. George's Fort Hill district. The site sits a short walk from the ferry and the growing Bay Street corridor, with unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline just across the harbor.
Tax Lot 96 is a fully vacant, cleared, and tarped 3,000 SF lot. The adjoining Tax Lot 97 carries a vacant, boarded-up 1925 duplex — a teardown candidate. Together they assemble a clean 60 × 100 building site zoned R5, ready for a ground-up multifamily project with minimal demolition complexity.
What makes this site compelling isn't just what's on it — it's that the assemblage work is already done. Both parcels share the same owner. There's no second negotiation, no holdout premium, no fractured deal structure. This is a clean two-parcel transaction with a single closing.
Get a feel for the site, the block, and the neighborhood before you ever step foot on it. These short videos capture both parcels and the surrounding Fort Hill context.
Each tax lot stands on its own merits — and together they form a development platform that's rare in this zip code. Here's the raw data on both parcels.
Assessment and tax figures sourced from CoreLogic / NYC public records (2025). Lot dimensions per NYC tax-lot map; survey recommended prior to closing. Open DOB violations on Lot 97 are disclosed — pricing reflects resolution costs.
R5 zoning gives a buyer real flexibility. Whether you're a ground-up developer, a builder who prefers phased risk, or a land-bank investor with a longer horizon — this site accommodates multiple exit strategies.
Demolish the duplex and develop a single multifamily project across the full 60 × 100 footprint. A 60-foot frontage is flexible enough to support a six-to-eight-unit walk-up or a boutique condo concept — both buyer pools are deep in St. George. One structure, one general contractor, maximum FAR utilization, and a cleaner financing story from day one.
Keep the two tax lots separate and develop each as its own two- or three-family home. Sell individually or hold as rentals. This path lowers construction risk and allows the project to be phased — build one lot, stabilize, then develop the second. It also mirrors the existing rhythm of the block, making approvals more predictable.
Hold the combined parcel as land in one of NYC's most supply-constrained, ferry-accessible neighborhoods. St. George is receiving active public and private investment — Empire Outlets, the FerryHawks ballpark, the new ferry landing upgrades, and the Bay Street rezoning all point to a neighborhood in structural appreciation mode. Low carry cost, two-parcel tax ID flexibility, and full optionality on exit timing.
St. George is the ferry-side gateway to Staten Island — the neighborhood where the borough meets the harbor and the Manhattan skyline fills the frame. The Fort Hill district combines historic, characterful housing stock with a waterfront corridor undergoing real transformation. From this site, downtown Manhattan is a 25-minute free ferry ride away, 24 hours a day.
The site is walkable to the Staten Island Railway and Bay Street bus lines — a transit profile that supports renters, buyers, and long-term demand fundamentals.
