Station Yards Unveils New Phase at LIRR Hub, Creating Housing and Jobs
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled the next phase of the $1.2 billion Station Yards project at the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road hub on Tuesday, October 22nd. This transit-oriented development in Suffolk County is part of New York’s commitment to revitalizing communities through mixed-use projects. The development, led by TRITEC Real Estate, is set to create more than 1,400 housing units, retail spaces, and office areas, transforming 53 acres into a livable, walkable urban center.

Governor Hochul emphasized the project’s significance in addressing housing needs while promoting job creation and sustainable economic growth. “Station Yards is more than just apartments and offices; it’s about building a community where people can live, work, and thrive,” she stated. The first phase, completed in 2020, delivered nearly 500 residential units, while the second phase, known as The Core, will add 388 homes, along with expanded commercial spaces and over 1,200 parking spots.

Empire State Development President Hope Knight described the project as a “game-changer” for Long Island’s economy, with more than 10,000 construction jobs and 2,500 permanent jobs expected. TRITEC Principal Jim Coughlan credited the strong public-private partnership for bringing the project to life, highlighting the $55 million state capital grant that made the development possible.

Located at a key transportation hub, Station Yards benefits from its proximity to major transit routes, including the Long Island Expressway and MacArthur Airport. The Ronkonkoma LIRR station, which serves 17,000 daily commuters, is central to the project’s vision of fostering a connected, vibrant community.

Local officials, including Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine, praised the development as a model for smart urban planning. The project is a prime example of how New York State’s strategic investments can lead to long-term economic prosperity while addressing critical housing needs in growing communities.
