station, which is currently under
construction,” says Larry Siefert,
property manager for Wyandanch
Village.
Some 70 percent of the units are set
aside for affordable housing applicants.
“The rent is restricted based on where
the applicant ranks on the income
spectrum,” says Nicole Massa, leasing
manager for Wyandanch Village.
“We include employment, disability
and other income sources to determine
eligibility.”
All units, regardless of the amount
paid in rent, are created equal.
The development is currently at full
capacity with a one-year wait list for
affordable apartments and firstcome

market-rate rental units.
Opened in 2015, Wyandanch Village
is owned by the Albanese Organization,
a privately held and family-run
residential and commercial real estate
developer based in Garden City.
“Long-term local residents, along
with then-Babylon Town Supervisor
Steve Bellone, spearheaded this
development,” says Gillick-Goldberg.
“The town selected the Albanese
Organization as master developer in
2011 based on the firm’s proposal and
long-standing reputation of quality
developments.”
Bellone has since moved on to become
Suffolk County executive.
In early January 2018, construction
will commence on a third apartment
building that will include an additional
125 units for rent.
“The buildings all feature apartments
with an abundance of natural light
and park or expansive views,” says
Massa. “In the summer, there are
activities like yoga and concerts and
in the winter, the town operates an
ice skating rink.”
Storefronts on the ground level include
a New York Community Bank
branch, Domino’s Pizza, T-Mobile,
KB Department Store and 7-Eleven
Big Red Beauty Supply, with additional
stores coming next year.
