Mixed-Use Project Integrates Residential, Retail and Office Spaces Creating a Livable, Walkable Community in Suffolk County

Governor Kathy Hochul today celebrated the grand opening of Station Yards, a state-of-the-art, mixed-use development in Ronkonkoma, Suffolk County on Long Island. Station Yards, also known as the Ronkonkoma Hub, is a transformative transit-oriented development spanning 53 acres around the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station. The $1.2 billion project, led by TRITEC Real Estate Company, is revitalizing the area by integrating housing, office and retail spaces, creating a dynamic urban center that caters to modern living and working needs. This development showcases New York State's commitment to fostering sustainable economic growth, enhancing community vibrancy and setting new standards for smart, transit-oriented urban planning across Long Island and beyond.

“Station Yards represents a new chapter in Long Island's growth story and exemplifies our vision for vibrant, sustainable communities across New York State,” Governor Hochul said. “This project is not just about building apartments and offices – it's about creating a dynamic ecosystem where people can live, work and thrive. By investing in mixed-use developments like Station Yards, we're addressing housing needs, creating jobs, and laying the foundation for long-term economic prosperity in our communities.”

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Station Yards is a game-changer for Long Island's economy, embodying our vision for innovative, transit-oriented developments that catalyze growth. With substantial support from ESD, this project is set to create thousands of jobs and establish a new standard for sustainable, community-focused development. Station Yards exemplifies how strategic investments can transform communities and drive economic progress, serving as a blueprint for future developments across New York State.”

TRITEC Principal Jim Coughlan said, “Public investment has been instrumental in bringing Station Yards to life, and we are grateful for the strong backing from Governor Hochul and Empire State Development. Without this critical support, our commitment of over $400 million in private capital to Ronkonkoma would not have been possible. This investment is creating much-needed housing and transforming the area into a new destination at Long Island's only true multi-modal site, fostering a vibrant, connected community.”
