Plescia Construction & Development is a commercial general contractor and construction management firm building across Nassau County — delivering office build-outs, retail and shopping-center work, healthcare and medical-office fit-outs, and the mixed-use redevelopment reshaping the county’s downtowns. As the inner ring of suburban Long Island, Nassau combines dense commercial centers with the village-by-village approvals that define suburban New York, and we build to both.
Commercial Construction Across Nassau County
Nassau is one of the most established commercial markets on Long Island. The Nassau Hub around Uniondale is in the middle of a long redevelopment; Garden City pairs a major office market with some of the region’s largest retail; Mineola, the county seat, anchors a deep healthcare and medical-office sector; and downtowns from Hicksville to Westbury are being rebuilt around Long Island Rail Road stations. Each of these markets asks something specific from a contractor, and we build to it.
Our Nassau County work spans the full range of commercial space:
- Office and corporate — build-outs and renovations in Garden City, Uniondale, Lake Success, and Great Neck.
- Retail and shopping centers — anchor and in-line retail, freestanding stores, and downtown storefronts across the county.
- Healthcare and medical office — exam suites, imaging, and ambulatory space serving Nassau’s major health systems, concentrated around Mineola and western Nassau.
- Restaurant, hospitality, and mixed-use — including the transit-oriented development reshaping Mineola, Hicksville, Westbury, and Farmingdale.
- Light industrial and flex — service, distribution, and flex space in the county’s commercial corridors.
Communities We Serve
We work throughout Nassau County — Garden City, Mineola, and Hempstead; Uniondale and the Nassau Hub; Hicksville, Westbury, and Farmingdale; Great Neck, Manhasset, and Port Washington; Rockville Centre, Freeport, and Long Beach; Glen Cove and the North Shore. Each town, city, and village brings its own building department and approvals picture, and we plan for it.
Permitting Across Nassau County’s Towns, Cities, and Villages
Nassau County projects don’t run through the NYC Department of Buildings. Every commercial project answers to the building department of its town, city, or incorporated village — and Nassau has dozens of villages, each with its own process. We manage the full path: building permits, site plan review, and the inspections that keep a project moving.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- Town, city, and village building departments — the Towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, the Cities of Glen Cove and Long Beach, and the county’s many incorporated villages each run their own permitting and inspections.
- Nassau County Department of Health — reviews water and sanitary systems; much of Nassau is sewered, which simplifies site work relative to eastern Suffolk but still requires county sign-off.
- Site plan and zoning review — ground-up and expanded commercial projects go through site plan review and, where needed, the zoning board of appeals for variances on parking, setbacks, and use.
- New York State code and fire safety — work is built to the New York State Uniform Code, with local fire marshal review for life safety.
Knowing each village’s process — and which agency owns which approval — is what keeps a Nassau County project on schedule.
How We Manage Risk on Nassau County Projects
Whether a project is a ground-up retail building, an office renovation, or a medical fit-out, the same discipline applies: plan the site and the approvals realistically, protect the businesses and traffic around the work, and keep life-safety systems live throughout. We coordinate deliveries, phasing, and parking with owners and tenants, and we carry the insurance limits and trade relationships that Nassau County owners, developers, and property managers expect.
Every job runs through a single point of accountability. Owners, tenants, building departments, and the design team work through one team that owns the schedule, the budget, and the safety plan — not a chain of subcontractors pointing at each other.
Representative Commercial Work
Plescia’s portfolio spans office, retail, healthcare, and mixed-use work of the kind Nassau County demands. While every market has its own specifics, the discipline is the same one we bring to projects across our New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Texas markets: realistic schedules, transparent budgets, and a finished space that performs. We’re glad to walk prospective Nassau County clients through relevant past work during an initial conversation.
