Bethpage Federal Credit Union Signs On To Station Yards In Ronkonkoma

RONKONKOMA, NY — Bethpage Federal Credit Union has leased 1,705-square-feet in TRITEC's Station Yards project in Ronkonkoma, according to a news release from the developer.

Bethpage, which is the largest credit union in the Northeast Region and the 14th largest in the nation, first opened its doors in 1941 as Grumman Hangar 2 Credit Union, according to the release.

It later changed its name in 1994 when its headquarters relocated to Bethpage, the news release stated.

Station Yards will include 1,450 apartments, 195,000 square-feet of retail space, and 360,000 square-feet of office space. It is expected to create thousands of jobs.

In the first phase, 489 apartment homes were completed as part of Alston Station Yards in 2021.

The full project is expected to be completed in 2024.

Maria Valanzano, the senior vice president of Colliers, the project’s leasing brokers, called Bethpage "a banking and financial services stalwart for Long Islanders."

"They've been faithfully serving our local community for over 80 years, and that is exactly the sort of ‘made on Long Island’ mantra we've focused on for our tenant roster,” she said.

“Bethpage is going to bring tremendous value to the area's residents and local businesses, and we couldn't be happier to welcome them as the newest tenant in TRITEC's Station Yards development,” she said. “Their addition brings premier banking solutions and community involvement to the Ronkonkoma area."

Bethpage’s Linda Armyn, chief strategy and marketing officer, said, “TRITEC has created a winning real estate model, providing a true sense of community for its residents.”

“We are thrilled to be a part of this modern, transformative project, and look forward to becoming an active member of the Station Yards community for many years to come,” she added.

Jimmy Coughlan, vice president for TRITEC Development Group, said, “Bethpage's commitment to excellence and community empowerment perfectly aligns with our vision for this development.”

"Together, we are creating a space where businesses thrive and individuals find a sense of belonging,” he said. “Bethpage's lease signing marks another milestone in our journey toward building a destination that enriches the lives of residents, commuters, and visitors.”
