TRITEC Real Estate Company celebrated the completion of Phase 2B of The Core at Station Yards in Ronkonkoma, a major moment in the development of one of Long Island’s largest transit-focused communities.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on the completed site on June 9 where local, Suffolk County, and New York State officials came together to tout the development. Businesses and project partners came as well.
“This project represents much more than a single building,” said Kelley Coughlan Heck, executive vice president of TRITEC. “It is the continuation of a vision to transform an underutilized area into a vibrant, connected downtown centered around transit, community, and opportunity.”
The $113 million completion of Phase 2B added 175 residential apartments, 1,419 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and a parking area for residents. There is a wide variety of apartments as the building now has 22 studios, 83 one-bedrooms, 64 two-bedrooms, and six three-bedrooms, all located across the street from the Long Island Rail Road’s Ronkonkoma station.
TRITEC considers the completion of this project to be the “fourth wall” of the Station Yards, highlighting the work done to modernize downtown Ronkonkoma.
“Projects like Station Yards are part of the solution to Long Island’s housing challenge,” said TRITEC Executive Vice President Jimmy Coughlan. “They not only provide much-needed homes, but they also generate real economic activity, supporting businesses, creating jobs, and helping retain the talent that drives our regional economy.”
The event featured a host of speakers such as Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico and Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs, New York State Executive Chamber Rob Calarco who highlighted the significance of having projects such as Station Yards in such communities.
“This project is a clear example of what can be accomplished when government and the private sector work together with a shared vision,” said Jimmy Coughlan. “In today’s environment, meaningful growth on Long Island depends on that collaboration.”
