​Who We Are

GAZ Realty Properties is a family-owned business with a diverse and growing portfolio of commercial real estate assets. Our holdings span NNN national retail sites, office buildings, gas stations, and strategically located airport properties at all three of the New York metro area’s leading airports. By combining long-term vision with hands-on management, we have built a reputation for identifying opportunities, adding value, and delivering stability to our tenants and partners.

Our Origins

GAZ Realty Properties was born from a targeted investment strategy: acquiring underutilized gas station assets from oil companies as they divested their real estate holdings. In some cases, we operated these properties directly, upgrading the fueling infrastructure and modernizing facilities. In others, we repositioned the assets into long-term NNN-leased sites, leased to renowned tenants such as 7-Eleven, Dunkin’, and major QSR (quick service restaurant) brands.

This flexible and opportunity-driven model enabled us to scale quickly while maintaining a nimble, entrepreneurial structure. Our ability to recognize untapped potential in overlooked assets remains a cornerstone of our growth.

Expanding into Commercial Offices

In 2008, during the wake of the global financial crisis, GAZ Realty diversified into the commercial office sector with the acquisition of 55 Maple Avenue in Rockville Centre, NY. This first investment not only weathered uncertain economic times but also provided the foundation for future office acquisitions. Soon after, the company added 53 North Park Avenue and 265 Sunrise Highway, making GAZ Realty one of the largest office landlords in the Rockville Centre market.

Pioneering Airport Travel Plazas

In 2009, GAZ Realty entered the airport development space with a groundbreaking project at Newark Liberty International Airport. This was not only the company’s first airport plaza project—it was among the first of its kind in the nation. Built from the ground up, the Newark development set the stage for an entirely new industry model, inspiring the growth of similar projects at airports across the United States. Today, GAZ Realty continues to play a leadership role in the sector through its affiliate, Airport Plazas, which manages Travel Plazas at all three New York Metro Area airports: John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia Airport.

Our Focus Today

GAZ Realty Properties remains committed to strategic growth, particularly in the Long Island market. We actively seek:

   - Ground-up development opportunities in retail, office, and mixed-use
   - Office buildings with leasing or redevelopment capabilities
   - Gas stations and travel sites with strong yield and long-term demand
   - High-traffic retail locations suitable for NNN national tenants

We pride ourselves on maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit of a family business while delivering the scale, reliability, and sophistication expected in today’s real estate market.

Looking Forward

As real estate markets continue to evolve, GAZ Realty Properties capitalizes on emerging trends, including shifts in mobility and infrastructure as well as growing suburban commercial hubs.

We are currently exploring and investing in:

• EV charging integration at gas and airport travel plazas

• Green retrofits and LEED certification across office holdings

• Mixed-use redevelopment of aging or underperforming assets

Whether expanding into new property classes or building on our expertise in fueling, retail, and office assets, GAZ Realty Properties continues to grow with an eye toward long-term stability, community impact, and enduring partnerships.
