There are about 1,300 Pfizer employees in Pearl River, that should remain at that location until at least June. After that the company plans to keep up to 600 jobs onsite after 2017, said lohud.com.

The California-based Industrial Realty Group that purchased the property, plans to create a campus that will be 2 million square feet and have about 38 buildings including laboratory, pharmaceutical manufacturing, office and support space, reported lohud.com.

A preliminary agreement to sell the property was announced in May. According to Susan Rutledge, Pfizer's spokeswoman, the company will retain its research and development facilities at the Middletown Road site, as well as undeveloped land on the property, added lohud.com.
