Five Things That Will Have New Yorkers Sailing to SI Next Year

The Commercial Observer article outlines five transformative projects expected to draw increased attention—and foot traffic—to Staten Island beginning the following year. Among those highlighted is Triangle Equities’ Lighthouse Point, a $200+ million mixed-use development that plays a central role in reshaping the St. George waterfront, directly adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry terminal. As one of the borough’s most ambitious public-private partnerships, Lighthouse Point includes residential units, 65,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, office use, and a 140-room hotel, all interconnected with landscaped public plazas and an esplanade. Triangle’s phased approach is designed to create sustained activation along the island’s most strategically visible entryway.

The article emphasizes Triangle Equities’ vision and early investment in a neighborhood long overlooked by traditional developers. Unlike standalone projects, Lighthouse Point is designed as a tightly integrated, experience-driven district that honors historical architecture through the adaptive reuse of 19th-century U.S. Lighthouse Depot buildings. By balancing this historic preservation with transit-oriented planning and modern amenities, Triangle is not only delivering new construction—but also showcasing a model for respectful, community-rooted development in a borough poised for growth.

As part of a broader wave of revitalization—including the then-planned New York Wheel and Empire Outlets—Lighthouse Point was recognized as one of the key projects poised to help shift Staten Island’s public perception. Triangle Equities’ inclusion in this list underlines the firm’s integral role in leading sustainable, high-impact development in boroughs beyond Manhattan. With its focus on placemaking, heritage preservation, and infrastructure integration, Lighthouse Point affirms Triangle’s mission to catalyze economic opportunity through location-sensitive, inclusive urban development.
