Case Study: The Bronx is Up

The Triangle Equities company overview brochure outlines the firm’s mission and track record as a vertically integrated real estate developer specializing in transformative, mixed-use projects that deliver lasting value for underserved urban areas. Founded in 1986, Triangle emphasizes public-private partnerships, transit-oriented development (TOD), and placemaking strategies as central to its business model. The firm’s projects align infrastructure with community-based solutions, focusing on long-term growth and revitalization in neighborhoods that have experienced disinvestment. With expertise in site acquisition, planning, entitlements, and execution, Triangle manages every phase of the development process to ensure alignment with both civic priorities and market needs.

The brochure highlights landmark projects such as Lighthouse Point on Staten Island and Triangle Plaza Hub in the Bronx. Lighthouse Point is a $200+ million waterfront development that integrates historic restoration with new construction—including residential, retail, hotel, and public open space—anchoring broader revitalization around the Staten Island Ferry terminal. Triangle Plaza Hub, located above a major subway station in the South Bronx, delivers grocery retail, healthcare services, and employment opportunities through an 88,000-square-foot commercial development. These case studies illustrate Triangle’s strategy of leveraging transit accessibility, community need, and public collaboration to deliver developments that are economically, socially, and environmentally responsive to their contexts.

The company overview also underscores Triangle’s institutional capabilities and broad partner network, which includes city agencies, community stakeholders, financial institutions, and private capital partners. The firm’s integrated approach allows it to unlock complex urban projects that other developers often overlook, due in part to entitlement challenges or lack of near-term profit incentives. Triangle’s work consistently addresses broader social equity issues such as food access, housing affordability, job creation, and environmental resilience—affirming its role as not just a builder, but a partner in shaping vibrant, inclusive cities.
