The $103 million, 260-unit apartment complex called The Wel in Lindenhurst — being built by TRITEC Real Estate — is expected to open this summer at Hoffman and Pennsylvania avenues.
The groundbreaking happened in October 2019, and despite the challenges of COVID, construction is moving along at the 7-acre property where Lakeville Pace Mechanical once operated.
“The last year has been challenging,” said TRITEC’s Chris Kelly. “But as we continue to build in Lindenhurst, we see how resilient this community is. New stores and restaurants are opening even in the pandemic.”
Kelly gave GreaterBabylon a live tour of The Wel construction on Wednesday, the same day a virtual tour went live on The Wel website.
The complex is a mix of studios and 1 , 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, as well as a slew of amenities that include a pool and patio.

“TRITEC is excited to be a part of the energy here,” Kelly added. “Our virtual tour shows what we are working towards, and we are thrilled about the start of pre-leasing this April.”
The East Setauket-based company has developed several big projects across Long Island such as New Village in Patchogue, The Shipyard in Port Jefferson, and The Alston at what’s commonly referred to as the Ronkonkoma Hub.
