BROOKHAVEN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY CLOSES ON RENTAL SENIOR HOUSING COMMUNITY PROPOSED FOR EAST MORICHES SITE

FARMINGVILLE, NY (October 9, 2025) – Frederick C. Braun III, Chairman of the Town of Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency (IDA) announced that the agency has closed on a package of economic incentives for a proposed 70-unit rental Senior Housing Community, to include both affordable and workforce housing, in East Moriches.

The benefits package for The Preserve at East Moriches LLC., of Hauppauge, closed on Sept. 30. The $25 million project was approved by the IDA board on October 16, 2024.   

The Northwind Group plans to build the complex, to be known as The Preserve at East Moriches, on a 22.32-acre vacant, wooded site.

The project will be located at 91 Montauk Highway, East Moriches and will include a 1,200 square-foot community building, totaling 137,558 square feet. The community will also feature walking paths and several outdoor recreation areas to include horseshoe pits and picnic tables. Seven apartments will be designated as affordable housing for residents whose incomes are at or below 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) according to household size for the Nassau-Suffolk primary metropolitan statistical area, and seven apartments will be designated as workforce housing for residents whose incomes are at or below 120 percent of AMI. There will be 13 apartment buildings and a 1,200-square-foot community center.

“This project, when built, will be a welcome addition to the housing options of East Moriches,” Braun said. “We are excited to assist with this project”.
