Georgica Green Ventures

Town Board members were excited about the plans for the proposed five-story building that will offer 133 market-rate rental apartments on West Main Street. “It's a perfect look, it really is," Council Member Tim Hubbard told the developers.

The Riverhead Town Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to designate joint master developers of the Railroad Avenue transit-oriented development project, RXR and Georgica Green Ventures, a qualified and eligible sponsor under the State Urban Renewal Law.

The joint master developers of the long anticipated revitalization project near the blighted Long Island Rail Road station area in Riverhead presented their financial and development qualifications last night in pursuit of an agreement to develop two multimillion dollar mixed-use buildings on municipal properties.

Is the joint venture between developers RXR Realty and Georgica Green Ventures a 'qualified and eligible sponsor' to purchase the properties near the railroad station for their $117 million transit-oriented development project? The Riverhead Town Board will hold a hearing Tuesday evening to get public input.

The town board on Tuesday voted unanimously to accept the recommendation of a committee it appointed last year to name RXR/Georgica Green Ventures as master developer for the transit-oriented redevelopment, which includes a town-owned, two-acre municipal parking lot located between the State Supreme Court building on Court Street and the railroad station.

Riverhead officials have chosen a master developer for transit-oriented development whose plan aims to transform the long-blighted train station area into a pedestrian-friendly center with shops and apartments.

How will a five-story building with 170 rental apartments on the former Sears site on East Main Street impact downtown Riverhead? Members of Riverhead's United Methodist Church worry that pile-driving for the new development will impact the historic church, which they say was damaged by construction of the apartment building going up next to the one that's now being proposed.

Family Community Life Center has announced that Georgica Green Ventures will develop its planned rental apartments and a community center to be operated by the YMCA of Long Island.

Members of the Riverhead United Methodist Church on East Main Street say the driving of steel pilings for the Riverview Lofts apartment building is creating vibrations that are damaging the Civil War-era building. Town officials say any damage is not structural and the developer says the vibrations are not strong enough to cause damage. Photos and video.

Demolition crews began tearing down the buildings on two properties along McDermott Avenue and Main Street where a five-story mixed-use building will be constructed.
