Luxury living has officially arrived in Hauppauge — and it's making waves. Southern Land Company just landed a massive $62.5 million refinancing deal for its brand-new, high-end apartment community, Carlow Wind Watch. And trust us, this place is not your average suburban rental.
Here’s everything you need to know about the posh new digs — and why Suffolk County renters are buzzing about it.
Situated at 1721 Motor Parkway, just a golf swing east of Wind Watch Golf & Country Club and the Hyatt Regency, Carlow Wind Watch offers 150 luxe apartments spread across two eye-catching buildings (five and seven stories tall, if you’re wondering).
Whether you're looking for a cozy one-bedroom or need a sprawling three-bedroom suite, there's something here for every upscale taste. Unit sizes range from 935 to 1,755 square feet, with rents starting at $3,696/month and topping out around $6,424/month.
And yes — those prices are a flex, but wait until you hear what comes with them.
Carlow isn’t just a place to live — it’s a lifestyle. Picture this:
A saltwater pool with a heated spa (because regular pools are just... meh)
An outdoor dining area with gas grills for those summer night cookouts
A clubroom and lounge with a full kitchen and bar for hosting or just hanging
A state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio to keep the zen vibes flowing
A golf simulator — perfect for working on that swing without leaving home
Gated underground parking (rainy day MVP)
A bike room with a tune-up shop
A pet spa — yes, your dog gets luxury treatment too
And rentable storage because let’s face it, we all have too much stuff
It's giving resort meets high-end Manhattan loft, without the city noise.
To make all this possible, Southern Land Company partnered with JLL Capital Markets, led by Aaron Niedermayer and Robert Tonnessen, to secure the $62.5 million refinancing. The funds came via Apollo affiliates, which isn’t exactly a minor league player.
This kind of backing? It speaks volumes. As Aaron Schneider, Director of Capital Markets at Southern Land, put it:
“This successful refinancing provides us with the foundation to continue delivering exceptional experiences at Carlow Wind Watch while supporting our strategic growth into the Long Island and New York markets.”
Translation: expect more of this elevated living across the region.
Carlow Wind Watch isn’t a one-and-done. Southern Land — which has been around since 1986 — is expanding its Long Island footprint. Just this year, it launched another rental development: Florent in Garden City, a 183,000-square-foot community offering its own brand of stylish suburban life.
Nationwide, the company is crushing it too, with a $3 billion project pipeline and regional offices from Philly to Denver.
Long Island has no shortage of rentals, but Carlow Wind Watch changes the game. It’s a statement — that high design, curated amenities, and modern luxury living are no longer exclusive to Manhattan or Brooklyn lofts.
Suffolk County is getting its glow-up, and this is just the beginning.
So whether you’re a local looking to upgrade or moving into Long Island for the first time, keep an eye on Carlow. Because the luxury lifestyle? It’s officially arrived — and it’s not holding back.
