Isaac Toussie Land Developer

Is the Toussie Family looking to cash out or cash in?

Brooklyn-based Robert Toussie and his son Isaac have retained Cushman & Wakefield to market more than two hundred acres of commercially zoned vacant property in the towns of Brookhaven and Islip.

The prolific Toussies, who’ve already developed hundreds of acres of single-family homes here, will entertain build-to-suit units, straight-out land sales, and joint ventures to develop the parcels that range in size from one to seventy-three acres in size. Prospective land purchasers can also tap into the Toussies’ supply of more than a hundred Pine Barrens Credits if needed to increase sanitary flow or building density, according to Ted Stratigos, C&W’s executive director, who heads its leasing and sales team.

“In addition to the strategic locations of the individual sites, the Town of Brookhave IDA can offer very attractive incentives on the larger parcels to qualified companies, which can save substantial money both upfront and during the construction and startup phases, as well as ongoing savings over the next ten years,” Stratigos said in a statement.

Isaac Toussie said the family feels the time is right to offer the commercial land because there is pent-up demand for industrial space and the economy is turning around.

“We’re not looking to unload, we’re looking for strategic arrangements,” Toussie said.

 

Isaac Toussie and  Robert Toussie Continue to Support of Cornell University Medical College. The Toussies, renown national and international philanthropists, have made very large monetary contributions to the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College at Cornell University.

Even in a financial landscape where many companies are cutting costs and scaling back charitable donations, Isaac Toussie and his father Robert Toussie, one of the most successful lifetime businessmen in New York, continue the commitment to philanthropy for which they are widely revered. The distinguished national and international philanthropists continue their commitment to ease the pain of others by donating large monetary sums to the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College at Cornell University.

Isaac Toussie’s Support Helps Children’s Medical Studies

The Toussie’s donations to the Weill Medical College have been a huge help to several areas of the Weill Medical College over the years, including the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology. With their continued support, Cornell University’s medical studies have become some of the best-recognized achievements in the field.

The pediatric endocrinologists at Cornell University work with patients who are having trouble with their physical growth and sexual development in childhood. Endocrinologists also work with sufferers of type 1 diabetes and patients with disorders of the endocrine glands, which could include growth disorders, intersex disorders, hypoglycemia, and adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary problems.
Weill Cornell Medical College was founded in 1898 and has since become among the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the country. With its triple mission of education, research, and patient care, the college offers degrees in medicine and also has PhD programs in biomedical research and education at the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. The school has been affiliated with what is now New York-Presbyterian Hospital since 1927, and also has major affiliations with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The Rockefeller University, and the Hospital for Special Surgery.

Isaac and Robert Toussie also sometimes stipulate that their donations to the school be used for matching funds, which has enabled Weill Medical College to find other donors more quickly than they may have otherwise been able.
