    Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of NY Pay $3.2M for Flex Building

    International Paper Company Sells Research and Development Facility in Tuxedo Park By Erica Doll September 21, 2011

    Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, a non-profit association, acquired the flex building in Tuxedo Park, NY from International Paper for $3.2 million, or about $17 per square foot.

    The building was delivered in 1969 at 1422 Long Meadow Road. It totals about 184,900 square feet on 50 acres in the Orange County Industrial submarket.

    RJ Smith from R.J. Smith Realty represented the buyer. Stephen Perfit and Peter Malone from Pyramid Hudson Valley NY Brokerage represented the seller.

    what a 'racket,' all their buying and selling and major construction and re-construction, with free labor and donations of most their rank and file who eking out a living.

    The picture of the building above and surroundings look quite paradisaic for them of course. (is that flag pole they'll have to take down?)

    They are quite proud of themselves with their Real Estate business.

    They miss the boat not turning Bethel Homes into Senior Living centers.

    I gave them many thousands in free labor and talent. But they'd charge me for the "practice" if they could.

    Good to see things clearly now.

    I wonder if this is a good deal for the WTS....I am sure international paper loves them, who else wastes so much paper?

    Thanks for posting this ! It will be interesting to see what part of Bethel this will become. I thought I read somewhere they would use this as a construction base for the new complex to be built at Warwick.

    Money is nothing that the WT wizards are short on. Facts, love, and other benefits are another story though.
