The U.S. Department of Defense signed a 23,600-square-foot lease for a 10-year term at 1 Old Country Road in Carle Place, New York, the former headquarters of 1-800-Flowers, with landlord DBD Realty Group, and is expected to take occupancy in early 2027 following buildout. The five-story office building recently underwent a $22 million repositioning and already houses the Federal Aviation Administration, which occupies over 74,000 square feet across two floors under a 15-year lease that began in 2023.
