Construction Begins On New Luxury Garden City Apartments

GARDEN CITY, NY — A real estate developer has broken ground on a new luxury apartment complex in Garden City, located at the long-abandoned lot at 555 Stewart Ave.

Souther Land Company is building the 150-unit complex, which it said will create more than 400 jobs in the area. The complex will consist of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, and will contain 17 affordable housing units in the four-story complex.

“The Village of Garden City is and has long been a high-barrier-to-entry market, and we are grateful and excited to be the team to bring a new, much-needed housing solution to this community,” said Dustin Downey, vice president at Southern Land Company. “We approach our projects with a long-term investment and commitment to the community, which means we uphold high standards of quality, from design and construction to operations and management of the property. We look forward to creating a luxury apartment home community of which the Village of Garden City can be proud.”

The luxury complex, which is located on 4.5 acres, will feature an outdoor heated saltwater pool with cabanas, a wine room, a fenced-in dog run and pet spa, fitness center, yoga room, a clubroom with a kitchen, an outdoor fireplace, barbecue and business center.

"Long Island is unmistakably home to some incredible close-knit towns and villages, and we recognized a need for additional housing options that would complement these unique communities, both by architectural design and the lifestyles cultivated by our projects,” said Downey. “Every detail of our project in the Village of Garden City has been thoughtfully considered and intentionally designed so that its future residents will feel well cared for and so we can be good neighbors in the community.
