Demolition is underway at the future site of the Carriage House apartment complex on Patchogue’s West Main Street.

As Greater Long Island first detailed in February 2024, the $160 million redevelopment is set to transform a blighted stretch of downtown, including property directly across the street from the vibrant YMCA and uber-popular Blue Point Brewing Company.

The developer, Nord Development Group of Farmingdale, led by Joseph Rossi and Peter Ferrandino, has cleared a key zoning hurdle, setting the stage for construction.

The two-building, 455,000-square-foot complex will span more than four acres and house more than 260 rental apartments. It will rise where a cluster of vacant structures once stood, including mixed-use buildings, a metal fabrication shop, an auto repair facility, and an industrial block at 188–214 W. Main St.

Featuring a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom living spaces, the complex will set aside 27 affordable units and 26 workforce apartments, Long Island Business News reported. Further, Carriage House will have market-rate apartments with rents ranging from $2,700 to $4,000 per month.

A standout feature of the project is the incorporation of the Patchogue River. The narrow river will dissect the complex’s two buildings. Plans include reclaiming the waterway, including wetlands restoration and constructing a 32,570-square-foot riverwalk and park area.

The property’s historic Trolley House — a remnant of Patchogue’s closed and demolished Lace Mill — will be renovated and leased to the Patchogue Chamber of Commerce for $1 per year, preserving a piece of local heritage within the new development.

Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri has praised the project for its potential to revitalize of a “depressed end of town,” bringing foot traffic, vibrancy and stability to the village’s western end.
