Engel
Burman announced it expects to deliver two rental projects in Uniondale during
the first quarter of 2021 – the age-restricted (55+) Sutton Landing community
and The Brix, which will be non-age restricted.
Along with
the 55+ Sutton Landing projects in Mt. Sinai and Deer Park already completed in
2020, the number of rental units produced during a 12-month period will total 800.
The Long Island
portfolio additions come as the market for suburban residences continues to be
strong – particularly since many New York City residents have sought
alternative housing during the ongoing pandemic.
The company
also indicated today that, going forward, its growing portfolio of rental
properties will be served increasingly by the newly-created EB Property
Management, led by industry veteran Collin Gabriel, who previous served in
senior roles at Avalon Bay Communities and Greystar Management.
Both the
Sutton Landing and The Brix communities provide modern units with popular
features, along with long lists of on-property amenities, including coffee
bars, pools, fully equipped fitness facilities and recreational offerings. In addition, The Brix offers a designated
study room for students along with shuttle services to nearby colleges.
Scott
Burman, Principal at Engel Burman and President of EB Construction, commented,
“Long Island, which historically has been underserved when it comes to rental
housing, now is experiencing a huge growth in demand for superior quality and
highly amenitized residences.
“That
demand is coming from all age brackets, and we don’t expect it to disappear in
the near future. We will continue to look for more opportunities to meet that
demand.”
He
continued, “As we build the portfolio, we also are prioritizing the development
and maintenance of the highest safety standards for our residents. With touchless entries, the best-possible air
filtration systems, enhanced common-area cleaning and other anti-viral
measures, we have created environments that will inspire confidence long after
this pandemic has been defeated.”
