The Langdon, a new six-story apartment building at the corner of Broadway and Langdon Place, brings 201 rental units now open for leasing, which local businesses hope will stimulate the local economy.
Businesses located near the new complex expressed optimism about the potential for increased foot traffic and customers.
Craft Kitchen and Taphouse, located on Stauderman Avenue one block from the building, may see a boost, according to co-owner Tom McNicholas.
“I think it’s great for the area, and it’s practically a one-minute walk away, which hopefully will help our businesses and others,” McNicholas said.
Nicole Carusone, co-operator of Vincent’s Pizza at 14 Atlantic Ave., said she welcomes the development and hopes it brings more customers to the area. Vincent’s Pizza has been operating in Lynbrook since 1978. Carusone’s husband, Joseph, is a second-generation owner.
“I hope it will bring in new customers, and be beneficial to the village,” she said.
The Langdon features 55 studio apartments, 111 one-bedroom units and 35 two-bedroom units. It includes onsite parking for 205 vehicles.
Monthly rents begin at $3,030 for studios, $3,545 for one-bedroom units, and $4,900 for two-bedroom units.
The project also includes 20 affordable apartments designated for households earning up to 80 percent of the area median income. These units include six studios, 11 one-bedroom apartments, and three two-bedroom apartments. Monthly rents for the affordable units are $2,212 for studios, $2,527 for one-bedrooms, and $3,147 for two-bedrooms, according to the Long Island Housing Partnership.
Applications for the affordable housing lottery are due July 7.
The 278,014-square-foot development is a joint project by Garden City-based Breslin Realty Development Corporation and Fields Grade Development of Hoboken, New Jersey.
Justin Breslin, vice president of Breslin Realty Development Corporation and manager of leasing for the project, said the location offers a significant advantage for residents.
“It’s the heart of a beautiful, walkable village,” Breslin said. “It’s a different feel from other places on Long Island.”
The development’s proximity to the LIRR station has raised concern among some Lynbrook residents. Complaints include concerns about train noise and changes to the village’s character.
One resident said there is a fear of “making Lynbrook too similar to New York City.”
A couple from Long Beach who toured the property last week said they are strongly considering The Langdon in their apartment search.
They reported that they “did not hear the train from inside the apartment.”
The Langdon is part of a broader push to increase housing options on Long Island, particularly near transit hubs, as demand for rental housing continues to grow.
