Big Progress for Major Long Island Multi-Family Project
Long Island-based developer and general contractor, Tritec, is now installing facade materials on multiple sections of a 4-story multi-family development, going up at 1700 Union Boulevard in Bay Shore, New York.
Known as "Shoregate", the building was designed by and is being constructed atop 3-separate foundation slabs. Since our last update in January, framing contractor, DaVinci Construction, has made significant progress, topping out the entire northeastern section of the structure.
In fact, it's been a busy few months for the framing crew, who in that time has managed to erect nearly the entire eastern half of the development, save for the top floor. Nonetheless, the building is really starting to take shape in this area.
Meanwhile over in the south-easternmost section, framing has also commenced, as the crew begins to build out the last corner of the structure's wooden skeleton.
Shoregate will offer apartment units and square feet of retail space. Plans also call for a central open parking lot, with enough room for vehicles.
The project site encompasses an entire block and spans over 10.3 acres. The new development builds on the grounds of Touro College's former School of Health Sciences campus, which consisted of a single, 3-story building, surrounded by several hundred parking spaces.
The entire build is expected to cost $173 million, with construction loan financing secured through SunTrust Bank and Santander.
According to Tritec, "the project is projected to generate nearly 900 jobs with $55 million in earnings and $140 million in sales within Suffolk County." Construction is expected to wrap up towards the end of this year.
