An interview with Dominic Coluccio, Director of Real Estate for Lesso Mall Development Long Island

As director of real estate for Lesso Mall Development Long Island, Dominic Coluccio’s primary responsibilities include vetting potential tenants and negotiating sensitive lease agreements for Samanea New York, a post-pandemic retail/dining/entertainment experience rising from the ashes of a defunct Westbury shopping mall. With Chinese parents, an exotic assortment of ethnic foods and a second-generation Italian American pulling the strings, Samanea New York has an undeniable international flair – and a monumental challenge to overcome, as a brick-and-mortar shopping complex in the burgeoning E-Commerce Age. In today’s episode, Dominic joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss how lessons learned on educational odysseys to Europe, Africa and China (and at his family’s successful import/distribution business) infuse his real estate career – and to offer a glimpse behind Samanea New York’s innovative curtain.
