THE BLUEPRINT:
-
$22.5M boutique apartment project breaks ground in Kings Park
-
46-unit development includes affordable workforce housing
-
Located near Kings Park LIRR station
Elected officials and local business leaders will join development executives Tuesday at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new boutique apartment project in Kings Park.
Site work has already begun on the $22.5 million transit-oriented project that will bring a three-story, 59,715-square-foot building to the western side of the Tanzi Plaza shopping center at 30 Indian Head Road. The site was formerly occupied by a freestanding Sombrero’s Southwest Grill restaurant.
The 46-unit development, called Cornerstone Kings Park, is a partnership between Terwilliger & Bartone Properties and Tanzi Properties. Located just steps away from the Kings Park Long Island Rail Road station, it will consist of a mix of five studios, 32 one-bedroom and nine two-bedroom units. Five of the apartments will be offered at reduced rents and designated affordable workforce housing.
Amenities will include a clubroom, fitness center, virtual entry system, elevator and trash valet service. The project will feature 137 parking spaces, including 29 below-grade spots. Islandia-based GRCH Architecture is designing the development, and its civil engineer is Huntington-based R&M Engineering. Garrett Gray of Melville-based Weber Law Group represented the developers throughout the approvals and IDA application process.
The developers received a financial assistance package from the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency for the project, including a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement.
Cornerstone Kings Park is the first new multifamily development in Kings Park in decades, facilitated by the Town of Smithtown’s comprehensive plan for Kings Park’s downtown and the completion of Suffolk County’s expansion of the Kings Park sewer system. The project will create about 90 construction jobs and is expected to be completed in about 18 months, with first occupancies slated for Q1 2027.
Terwilliger & Bartone has been a prolific developer of Long Island downtown apartment projects in recent years. The company has built multifamily apartment developments in Farmingdale, Hauppauge, Lynbrook and Westbury.
LIBN was first to report on the developer’s newest endeavor, a $61 million project that will bring 106 apartments over 4,000 square feet of retail space to a 2-acre site on Jerusalem Avenue in Hicksville. Called Cornerstone Hicksville, the four-story building will have a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units with underground parking for more than 200 vehicles. The planned transit-oriented development is located a stone’s throw from the Hicksville Long Island Rail Road station.
