St. John’s University closed the sale of its Staten Island Campus to Wagner College, ensuring the property’s continued use for higher education and community benefit. The transaction was facilitated by Savills, which represented St. John’s throughout the process.

The project was led by the Savills team of Arthur Mirante and David Carlos, along with Savills corporate managing directors Michael Bertini and Mark Todrys.

“This was a uniquely mission-driven transaction that required a careful balance of financial, institutional, and community considerations,” said Mirante. “We were honored to represent St. John’s and help identify a buyer that shares its educational values and long-term vision for the campus. This is a distinct property, and this has been a special transaction to navigate.”

The sale allows St. John’s to further invest in its core academic programs and facilities across its main campus in Queens and remaining global sites. Wagner College plans to integrate the campus into its institutional footprint.
