Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on a material event regarding property zoning and does not contain financial statements.
Material Changes and Events
- Zoning Approval: On March 20, 2023, the Town of Cortlandt Manor Town Board unanimously adopted the SEQRA findings statement and approved the Local Law Establishing a Medical Oriented Zoning District (MOD).
- Campus Designation: Gyrodyne received MOD campus designation for a mixed-use 154,000 square foot campus. This includes 150,000 square feet of medical use and 4,000 square feet of retail use.
- Effective Date: The Local Law is expected to become effective upon filing with the New York Secretary of State, anticipated on or about April 9, 2023.
- Property Context: The Company's existing 31,421 square foot Cortlandt Medical Center is located on 13.8 acres within the MOD boundaries, directly across from New York Presbyterian's Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
Outlook, Strategy, and Risks
Management Strategy: The Company explicitly states it does not plan to develop the Cortlandt Manor property. Instead, the strategy is to position the property for sale in the shortest period possible. The MOD designation is intended to increase development flexibility and maximize property value with minimal risk to the Company.
Historical Context: Management, planners, and engineers have collaborated with the Town for approximately eight years to plan the MOD, which was originally proposed in a 2016 Sustainable Comprehensive Plan to expand medical infrastructure and encourage economic development.
Risks: The filing does not disclose specific financial risks, though the strategy relies on the successful sale of the property following the zoning change.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the official filing date of the Local Law with the New York Secretary of State to confirm the effective date of the MOD.

- Review the attached Exhibit 99.1 (SEQRA Findings Statement) and Exhibit 99.2 (Local Law Establishing MOD) for specific covenants or restrictions on the 154,000 square foot campus designation.
- Assess the impact of the MOD designation on the valuation of the 13.8-acre property relative to the existing 31,421 square foot medical center.
