Stony Brook Medicine Submits Plans For 30,000-Square Foot Location In Farmingville: Town

FARMINGVILLE, NY — Stony Brook Medicine has submitted plans to take over the vacant space on North Ocean Avenue in Farmingville, Supervisor Dan Panico said Thursday in a Facebook post.

"Ever since Amazon Fresh walked away from the property on North Ocean Avenue, I’ve worked closely with Councilman Neil Manzella to find a suitable and successful tenant for the space," he wrote. "I’m pleased to announce that Stony Brook Medicine has submitted plans to take over the vacant space, bringing an incredible medical presence to the area."

The health care provider is proposing a new 30,000-square-foot medical building on the southeastern portion of the property along Horseblock Road, according to Panico.

"This represents a significant positive change from the retail strip center that was originally envisioned by the property owner," he wrote. "This proposal presents an opportunity to put this vacant property to productive use while bringing expanded medical services and significant investment to our community."

"I want to commend the exceptional leadership staff at Stony Brook Medicine and Councilman Manzella for helping bring this proposal forward, and I anticipate a site plan hearing before the Town Board in the coming months," he added.

In his own statement, Manzella wrote, "To my friends in Farmingville, long overdue is an understatement."

"It's not always easy to see vacant spaces filled, especially one this size," he continued. "The former 'Amazon' location will now be home to Stony Brook Medicine."

In a statement, Stony Brook Medicine said, "Stony Brook Medicine officials:Following the success of our Commack and Lake Grove locations, we are continuing to expand our Advanced Specialty Care services to meet the growing healthcare needs of communities across Long Island, with Farmingville being our next planned location."

"We have reached an agreement in principle with North Block Ventures, LLC, in partnership with our real estate partner JLL, and are excited to bring the highest quality healthcare services to the community," the statement concluded.
