Wyandanch Rising: 15 Years in the Making

Wyandanch Village is one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects on Long Island. Since 2013, the Albanese Organization has delivered four residential buildings, 395 apartments, retail space, and a community plaza complete with a seasonal ice-skating rink.

With Building L nearing completion (expected by January), this $140 million investment continues to breathe new life into the area, creating both housing opportunities and a stronger downtown core.
