The New York Times acknowledged Glen Isle in its Thursday editions for being one of several projects with “mass appeal” on Long Island.
Plans for the 860-unit project - which have been on the drawing board in Glen Cove since 2003 - got the green light last month.
Now, Glen Isle could potentially be "shovel-ready" in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to Donald Monti, managing partner with RXR Glen Isle Partners, the developer.
Glen Cove Patch's most recent waterfront coverage included the project’s permit and SEQRA findings approval in December.

I'd like to see this project work out on a scale in line with the character of the city, but I'm just wondering what the Glen Cove rental market is like.What's going to drive a renter or condo buyer to Glen Cove over Long Beach, Freeport, and other locales with better(read- 'not pathetic') railroad access?

I thought all the people were going to use the new fairy the City is building and paying for.

This is funny. Apparently, the project has 'mass appeal' outside of Glen Cove. There would be 'mass appeal' among Glen Cove residents for a similar project in The Hamptons.

Well golleee, the NYT thinks it's a great idea. Another outsider telling Glen Cove what's good for it. Like I'm really impressed. Not.

Hey Glen Cove watch as this gets flipped to another Avalon, that would make 3 Avalons in Glen Cove, but whose counting.

O M G - another Avalon ? No Way - if that happens lets all force Mayor Suozzi to buy a house and pay taxes like all of us!

Glen Cove is slowly turning into Queens, Brooklyn. And not the better areas. This project is a joke. Who are we really going to attract? Look at what we are attracting now.
