Staten Island: NYC’s farthest-flung borough gets ready for its close-up

The New York Post article explores a wave of high-profile projects redefining the long-overlooked North Shore of Staten Island—with Triangle Equities’ Lighthouse Point identified as a cornerstone of this borough-wide reinvention. Alongside neighboring developments like Empire Outlets and the Staten Island Ferry terminal upgrades, Lighthouse Point is a $200+ million public-private partnership that epitomizes Triangle’s forward-thinking, transit-oriented approach to mixed-use revitalization. Situated adjacent to the ferry terminal in St. George, the project includes residential housing, hotel accommodations, street-level retail, office space, and restored historic buildings, all woven together with publicly accessible plazas and waterfront pathways.

The article highlights the increasing attention Staten Island is receiving from developers, investors, and civic leaders ready to reimagine the borough’s economic and cultural future. Triangle Equities’ early stake in this transition is reflective of the firm’s consistent focus on transforming underutilized, infrastructure-adjacent areas into accessible community hubs. At Lighthouse Point, Triangle is not only leveraging its real estate expertise but also integrating adaptive reuse, sustainability principles, and placemaking strategies to connect Staten Island’s past with its future. The seamless blend of historical preservation with modern development has positioned Lighthouse Point as a national model for waterfront revitalization.

As Staten Island steps into the spotlight, Triangle Equities’ leadership in the borough’s transformation affirms its standing as a developer that prioritizes local character, community benefit, and design excellence. The firm’s investments reflect trust in untapped markets and belief in the transformative power of integrated, transit-oriented development. Lighthouse Point exemplifies this vision—converting prime waterfront real estate into a catalytic project that supports Staten Island’s economic growth, housing needs, tourism appeal, and long-term sense of place.
