Northwell Health has leased 30,000 square feet of medical office space that will anchor a new mixed-use building at Station Yards in Ronkonkoma.
The health system aims to create a multi-disciplinary practice facility on the ground floor of one of three new buildings planned as the next phase of the $1.3 billion project across from the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station.
Master developer Tritec Real Estate has begun demolition to ready the 6.72-acre development site bordered by Union Avenue and Carroll Avenue for what it calls Phase 2C at Station Yards, which will bring 285 apartments and the Northwell facility to three new five-story buildings. The investment for the new phase, designed by Marc Spector of Woodbury-based Spector Companies, is estimated at $175 million, according to Tritec.
“We are thrilled to welcome Northwell Health to Station Yards,” Jimmy Coughlan, Tritec president, told LIBN. “Their investment and belief in Ronkonkoma strengthens our vision of creating a true mixed-use destination by bringing new jobs, increased daytime activity, and essential healthcare services to the community. As more employees, patients, and visitors come to Station Yards each day, our retailers, restaurants, and local businesses will benefit from the steady energy and economic vitality that help great downtowns thrive.”
Northwell is the largest commercial tenant so far to lease space at Station Yards. Construction on the newest Station Yards buildings is expected to start this fall and take about 18 months to complete.
