TRITEC completes Phase 2B at Station Yards in Ronkonkoma
Phase 2B adds 175 apartments and 1,419 square feet of retail near Ronkonkoma station, pushing Station Yards closer to its 1,450-home buildout.
TRITEC Real Estate Company completed Phase 2B of The Core at Station Yards in Ronkonkoma, adding 175 apartments and 1,419 square feet of retail next to the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station. The milestone moves the 53-acre, $1.2 billion project another step toward the transit-focused district developers say will change how commuters, renters and local businesses use the station area.
TRITEC closed on $113 million in financing for Phase 2B in July 2024, and pre-leasing for the second phase of The Core began March 14, 2026. By June, residents were expected to start moving in, giving the latest building a direct role in the daily traffic around what TRITEC has described as Suffolk County’s busiest train station and the second busiest on Long Island.
The new phase builds on earlier work that already established Station Yards as more than a set of construction sites. The first phase, Alston Station Yards, delivered 489 residential units in 2020, and news reports said those apartments were 97 percent occupied in 2023. Phase 2A added 388 apartments, 70,000 square feet of retail and a 10,000-square-foot village green. TRITEC said a 2024 update showed the second phase had already brought more than 200 additional apartments, along with new banks, bars, stores, restaurants and health care clinics.
Still, the finished project remains much larger than Phase 2B. TRITEC says Station Yards will ultimately include 1,450 residential units, 360,000 square feet of office space, 195,000 square feet of retail and 60,000 square feet of hospitality space. Governor Kathy Hochul highlighted the development in October 2024 as a transformative transit-oriented hub, and the pitch has been consistent since TRITEC was selected as master developer in 2012 and broke ground in June 2015.
The site’s geography helps explain why it remains one of Suffolk County’s most watched redevelopment projects. Station Yards sits just off Exit 60 of the Long Island Expressway and beside Long Island MacArthur Airport, putting it at a transportation crossroads as well as a housing corridor. Brookhaven Town’s approval of more apartments and medical office space in February 2026 set the stage for the next stage of construction, underscoring that Ronkonkoma’s station district is still being built out phase by phase rather than arriving all at once.
