The sale of 7629 New York 5 in Bloomfield, New York, represents a major step in the ongoing revitalization of one of the Finger Lakes region's most significant industrial assets, earning the transaction a 2026 CoStar Impact Award, as judged by real estate professionals familiar with the market.
The 249,040‑square‑foot facility, situated on 50 acres, was once entirely filled by Crosman Corp. — a designer and manufacturer of air guns, pellet guns and accessories. Its location, 30 minutes south of Rochester, positions it to support the area's growing industrial, logistics and technology sectors.
The sale directly resulted from Sunnking's commitment to lease the bulk of the building. As one of New York state's leading electronics recycling and IT asset-disposition companies, Sunnking offers responsible recycling of electronic waste, secure data destruction and value recovery through refurbishing and reuse — all essential to reducing landfill waste and strengthening the circular economy.
With his company selecting the location as its new operation center, Sunnking's President Adam Shine negotiated to purchase the building for $6.8 million.
Sunnking's arrival does more than fill space; it reactivates a major employment and production hub with an environmentally responsible enterprise. The operation is expected to generate new jobs, attract business activity and restore steady industrial energy to the Bloomfield and Rochester area. Beyond the economic lift, Sunnking's sustainability leadership reinforces the region's growing identity as a center for green innovation and responsible manufacturing.
About the project: The property had an initial asking price of $9.5 million. The building, constructed in 1965, had long served as Crosman Corp.'s manufacturing and headquarters facility. Sunnking will occupy 200,000 square feet of the building, while Crosman downsized to the remaining space.
What the judges said: The judges heaped praise on the deal. “Bloomfield is a challenging market, and this is an older building from the '60s with low ceiling heights," said Brian Donovan of Donovan Real Estate Services. "But they were able to sell it after securing a lease with a strong regional tenant." He was echoed by Steve Soja of Moore Corporate Real Estate: "The sale takes a significantly sized industrial property in a difficult location and repurposes it for another user, continuing to keep a significant source of employment.” And Scott Burdett of Flaum Management Co. agreed that the deal resulted from a "major tenant expanding in the market backfilling an established company that left the market."
Kurt Sertl of Gallina Development Corp. noted that it "brings a large manufacturing plant back online." Tom Latta with Buckingham Properties also noted the tenant's work results in a massive reduction of landfill waste.
They made it happen: Adam Rooney, co-founder of Benchmark Realty Advisors, was the listing broker. John Rogers, SIOR, and Alessandro Ceres of Cushman and Wakefield/Pyramid Brokerage represented the buyer.
