Barnes & Noble officials said a developer's plans to replace the company's Manhasset, N.Y., store "with a medical office building have fallen through," Newsday reported, adding that the plans had been approved by the North Hempstead Zoning Board of Appeals last week.
"The property owner was previously in discussions to redevelop the property, but they have told us that those plans are no longer being pursued. We have a lease through the end of 2017 and will work to extend as that time approaches," said David Deason, B&N v-p of development.
