Central Islip, NY The Foxgate at Islip’s ceremonial groundbreaking event for the new clubhouse went off without a hitch despite the drizzle and periods of rain. The day’s festivities celebrated the construction of the Clubhouse, Phase II balconies, Gatehouse and Phase III building at the 25-acre site. The “nailing” ceremony was followed by a tour of the models and a few hot cups of coffee.
Local town of Islip representatives, Laffey Real Estate Brokers, Ehasz Giacalone Architects, JR Holzmacher and the Foxgate at Islip’s team were in attendance, sporting bold red and white Foxgate at Islip umbrellas’ to commemorate construction. The developer is Jobco Org.
Foundations were poured a month ago and the entire structure has already been framed in what will become the 4,600 s/f community clubhouse. Also observable was the heated outdoor pool, visible by the outline of the concrete shell. As the building continues to take shape, progress will show where the shower facilities, fully-equipped fitness center, lounge and ballroom will be situated.
Mike Puntillo, managing partner of Foxgate at Islip (Jobco Org.) and builder of the complex, said, “I am thrilled with the progress we have achieved here at Foxgate. The development keeps getting better and better as we continue. I have no doubt we are the best new home value for the dollar on all of Long Island.”
While the day did not lend itself to a stroll around the property, visitors and honored guests could still glimpse all of the new construction on Phase III buildings. At completion, this new phase will be home to 56 residential units. Scheduled completion for this phase is spring 2018.
The Gatehouse entrance to Foxgate at Islip underwent a complete landscape design upgrade. New plantings and curbscapes were planted supported by a blanket of evergreens, new groundcover, fresh sod, and an abundance of perennial and annual flowers. Upon entering or exiting the community, visitors and residents will be greeted by the visual appeal of seasonal flora.
In the last 30 days, there has been significant activity. With five more closings, residents are preparing to move in and will be able to call Foxgate at Islip “home.” Over 70% of the units in Phase II are occupied and visitor traffic to the Sales Office and fully furnished models continues to improve as the warmer weather unfolds.
When complete, Foxgate at Islip will be home to 184 individual residences. Foxgate at Islip features two bedroom, two bathroom, central air conditioned condominium units, equipped with premium appliances, wood cabinetry throughout and full amenities.
