TRITEC Recognized in Long Island Business News’ “In the Lead: Family-Owned Businesses” List

Tritec Real Estate Company is a project delivery organization that successfully acquires, develops, constructs, finances, leases and manages real estate projects on Long Island and throughout the New York and Washington, D.C. metro areas. Led by brothers Bob and Jim Coughlan, who are co-principals, the 38-year-old family business is focused on building a lasting legacy for their community.

“Tritec’s motto–‘Have Fun, Win, Be Nice’–drives us,” said Bob Coughlan. “‘Have Fun’ means creating a family-oriented, supportive environment where everyone feels valued. ‘Win’ reflects our commitment to growth by exceeding employee and customer expectations. ‘Be Nice’ reminds us to create value through quality service, profitability and integrity. Family ownership fuels these values.”

According to Jim Coughlan, running a family-owned business brings challenges, similar to those all businesses face: making tough decisions, balancing growth and managing resources. “But there’s comfort in knowing your team genuinely wants what’s best for you and the organization, always putting family first,” he said. “This trust helps us tackle disagreements and difficulties, knowing everyone’s intentions are rooted in respect and shared goals. The support we have for each other makes it easier to navigate challenges.”

The Coughlans are particularly proud of delivering two community-focused projects this year that address Long Island’s pressing need for more housing. Station Yards in Ronkonkoma and Shoregate in Bay Shore were each designed to create not just apartments but vibrant, welcoming neighborhoods where people can live, work and connect. “Meeting the demand for housing while also enhancing the communities we serve is a rewarding accomplishment,” Bob Coughlan said.
