Merrill Glen Cove Heliport

Urban redevelopment and land conversion. The heliport was located on a former industrial waterfront site that was completely cleared for the large-scale Garvies Point mixed-use development. This project involved extensive environmental remediation and the construction of new luxury apartments, parks, and a marina, making the heliport's existence incompatible with the new land use.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as a former aviation facility. The coordinates now point directly to 'The Beacon at Garvies Point,' a multi-story luxury apartment building that is part of the new waterfront community. The land is now used for high-density residential and recreational purposes.

This was a private heliport with very little public documentation. The name 'Merrill' strongly suggests it was a corporate heliport, likely used for executive transport by a firm such as Merrill Lynch or a similarly named entity, providing rapid access between Manhattan and Long Island's 'Gold Coast'. Operations would have been limited to private, point-to-point helicopter flights. It held no major public or military significance. The identifier 'US-10419' is a non-standard code found in some historical aviation databases and is not an official ICAO or FAA identifier, which is common for private, unlisted facilities.

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for a dense residential community. Re-establishing a heliport in the middle of newly constructed apartment buildings would be logistically, politically, and legally infeasible due to safety regulations and predictable noise complaints from residents.
