Associate
Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP

Number of years at firm: 1

One thing on my bucket list: Fly a plane.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?

Assisted a large academic medical center in obtaining approvals from the town of North Hempstead Board of Zoning and Appeals in connection with their proposed plan to convert an existing commercial retail building in Manhasset to an ambulatory care center. The facility will contain ambulatory surgical suites, supportive diagnostics, medical offices, over 70 clinic beds, storage, and support space. The property is over nine acres and the facility will be over 160,000 s/f.

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR?

“Gianni Sbarro is a rising star in FDT’s land use and zoning department. He is smart, confident and demonstrates a real grasp of land use concepts and procedures, which is unusual for someone recently admitted to practice. His Masters degree in Real Estate from NYU gives him a well-rounded perspective, which helps him relate to our development clients and represent them skillfully and competently before the boards and municipalities where we practice.”
