Developing Long Island: Wheatley Senior Residences

Wyandanch, NY The Wheatley Senior Residences will provide 24 units for formerly homeless individuals, including seniors and veterans.

This 24,000 s/f ADA-compliant facility will offer amenities like a lobby, laundry, administrative office, community room, bicycle storage, and an outdoor patio, plus 36 parking spaces and an elevator.

Located near Wyandanch Station for easy access to Manhattan, it’s managed by Fitzgerald House Inc., focusing on homeless veterans, and developed by Brisa Builders Development LLC, known for affordable housing projects.
