THE BLUEPRINT:
-
Town of Brookhaven approved a $32M, age-restricted rental development
-
Project will deliver 64 units on a 12.8-acre site in East Patchogue
-
Amenities include a clubhouse, pool, bocce and pickleball courts
-
Ten percent of units will be affordable, including homes for people with disabilities
A plan to build a 55-and-over rental community in East Patchogue got a greenlight from the Town of Brookhaven last week.
The $32 million project from Farmingville-based Kelly Builders and Development Group will bring 64 age-restricted units to a 12.8-acre parcel just south of Sunrise Highway and west of Hewlett Avenue.

The plan includes 40 ranch-style, 1,300-square-foot homes, each with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a one-car garage, as well as 24 flats measuring about 1,200 square feet, each with two-bedroom and two bathrooms.
Amenities at the development will feature a 2,200-square-foot clubhouse with a pool, and bocce and pickleball courts. About a third of the property will be preserved as open space and there will be an onsite wastewater facility constructed.
Ten percent affordable and half of those will be reserved for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
The development is designed by Patchogue-based bld Architecture, and the project team also includes Huntington-based R&M Engineering and Nelson & Pope. Attorneys Alison LaPointe and Tim Shea from the Certilman Balin law firm represented the developer in securing the change of zone and site-plan approval from the town.
“We are very excited to provide the town much needed housing for people 55 and older,” developer Mike Kelly told LIBN. “Our community will provide housing enabling our seniors to remain in their communities and live a maintenance-free lifestyle close to their families and friends, churches, synagogues, doctors etc. Through dialogue at the hearing, we listened to neighbors and Supervisor Panico and Councilman Foley and we will be providing about a third of the site as preserved open space further protecting the wetlands and providing a permanent buffer for adjoining neighbors.”
Kelly said he hopes to start construction on the project this coming spring and the development is expected take about 18 months to complete.
Kelly is also hoping to get site-plan approval next month from the Village of Patchogue for another multifamily development. The $20 million project would bring 30 apartments to a 2.7-acre property on the Patchogue River. The development site, off West Avenue and Mulford Street, was a former oil storage facility.
