Breaking Ground on Perry & Main!
Conifer was excited to celebrate the groundbreaking of Perry & Main yesterday alongside our partners at Community Development Corporation of Long Island (CDLI) and leaders from across the region.
Located at 1601 and 1605 Main Street in Port Jefferson, Perry & Main will transform two long-vacant buildings into a new 53-home, transit-oriented community featuring affordable and workforce housing, supportive housing, and approximately 2,298 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Located just one block from the Port Jefferson LIRR station, the community will provide residents with convenient access to transit, jobs, healthcare, education, and the Village’s historic downtown.
"Perry & Main is the kind of development Long Island needs more of — transforming underutilized, vacant buildings into thriving residential and commercial spaces," said Lisa Kaseman, Conifer's SVP, Development for NY. "The Village of Port Jefferson has been an outstanding partner from day one. Our existing Port Jefferson Crossing apartments within the Village have a waiting list of more than 800 households, underscoring the critical need for affordable homes in this community. Every one of those applications represents a person or family who wants to live in Port Jefferson and can't find a home they can afford — young people who grew up here, seniors who don't want to leave. Perry & Main won't solve that on its own, but 53 families will have a home because of the collective efforts of our state and local partners."
