Nearly 10 years in the making, a $160 million luxury apartment project is now primed to transform a rundown section of Patchogue‘s downtown.
Farmingdale-based Nord Development Group, led by Joseph Rossi and Peter Ferrandino, will soon begin construction on a two-building, 455,000-square-foot residential rental complex that will bring 262 apartments to a 4.08-acre site on West Main Street.
The development called Carriage House will replace two vacant mixed-use buildings, a vacant industrial building, an auto repair shop and a metal fabrication facility at 188-214 West Main St.
“That end of town has been a depressed end of town since at least the 77 years I’ve been alive,” Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri told LIBN. “It’s cleaning up a mess and I’m a believer that a downtown grows when you put feet on the street, and this is 262 units. On paper it looks beautiful, and I think it will take that end of town and activate it. Across the street you have the Blue Point Brewery and the YMCA, so it caps that end of town, which is the western entrance into the village.”
The project’s two five-story buildings are bisected by the northern end of the Patchogue River, and the plan includes a reclamation of the waterway and a new riverwalk and park area spanning 32,570 square feet. The buildings also provide on-site parking for 410 cars on the ground level.
Amenities at each Carriage House building include a fitness center, resort-style pool, hot tubs, sundeck with cabanas and firepits, gaming tables, landscaped terraces, co-working space and yoga room. The east building also features a sauna and cold plunge, chef’s kitchen and dining room and a bar and lounge with fireplace and grand piano. The west building, a portion of which is designed to mimic a village carriage house that’s occupied the western end of the development site for more than a century, sports a formal library, pet spa, golf simulator and a bike share in its garage. It will also have a grab-and-go store offering sandwiches and drinks.
