B2K Development is planning a mixed-use community at 80 Baylis Road in Melville, across the street from the upcoming NYU Langone medical campus. This follows two other major mixed-use projects approved in the Melville Town Center Overhead District, signaling significant redevelopment and housing growth in the area.
The blueprint:
- B2K development under contract for 80 Baylis Road sites
- Projects may include sales, rental housing and assisted living
- The plan follows two other mixed-use projects for Melville Town Center
After two Long Island real estate development companies planned a mixed-use project in the newly created Melville Town Center zoning district, a third company is planning to build another.
LIBN has learned that Jericho-based B2K Development has a contract to buy a 184,795-square-foot vacant office building on 10.9 acres at 80 Baylis Road, where sources said it plans a mixed-use community that could include a combination of homes for sale and rent and assisted living facilities. although the developer has not to put a plan together for the site.
The company declined to comment on any specifics, but a B2K spokesperson confirmed that “the company is under contract and will conduct a full evaluation of the best uses that fit the Melville Downtown Overlay District.
The Melville B2K plan follows two other mixed-use projects. It includes the $130 million Melville Crossing project from Bethpage-based Steel Equities that the city approved in April, bringing seven four-story buildings, four three-story buildings, three one-story retail buildings, and a 6,300-square-foot clubhouse to the 16.6-acre site at 75 Maxess Road. The project includes 290 rental apartments, 110 condominium units for sale, 37,300 square feet of retail space, a public plaza, promenade, and walking trail.
Farmingdale-based Terwilliger & Bartone Properties is proposing to develop a four-story building on 3.75 acres at 115 Baylis Road, replacing a single-family home. The proposed $85 million project, called Cornerstone Melville, will bring 168 rental homes and more than 20,000 square meters of commercial space for sale.
The property at 80 Baylis Road was previously leased to Henry Schein, which is vacating the building by the end of 2022 while consolidating its Melville operations into a 105,000-square-foot office building at 135 Duryea Road. A previous deal to sell 80 Baylis Road to Mill Creek Residential fell throughsource said, because developers want to build only rental house at site and the city is needed some of them are for-sale houses.
The 80 Baylis Road property is owned by Broad Hollow Realty LLC, an affiliate of TPG Angelo Gordon and We’re Group, which has divested several Long Island office portfolios in the past year.
In July 2025, TPG Angelo Gordon and We’re Group sold a 310,632-square-foot office building on 22.4 acres at 200 Jericho Quadrangle to Northwell Health for $31 million. In May 2026, he sold One and Two Huntington Quadrangle in Melville to NYU Langone Health for $135.5 million. The property has two office buildings totaling 765,000 square feet on a combined 45 acres and will be redeveloped into a multi-billion dollar medical campus, with a 500-room hospital tower, more than 70 emergency department bays, and the free NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, with space for leading scientific research.
B2K’s proposed development site at 80 Baylis Road is across the street from the planned NYU Langone medical campus.
The City of Huntington approved the Melville Downtown Overlay District in December 2024, allowing the redevelopment of unused and obsolete office buildings and vacant parking lots into 1,500 new multifamily residential units, retail stores and pocket parks. The overlay zoning covers the area south of the Long Island Expressway and north of Ruland Road, from Walt Whitman Road to Pinelawn Road and fronting on Maxess Road, Baylis Road, Corporate Center Drive and Melville Park Road, where each proposed project still requires a site-specific environmental review and must be approved by the city. The city will have the ability to pause the development of residential units after 400 units for an impact assessment.
Melville’s new zoning limits building heights to 50 feet and four occupied lots. It also requires housing project developers to pay a fee of $1,500 for each unit over 25 with most of the money, 75 percent, going to a fund to support downtown parks and the rest directed to fire and ambulance districts to cover the increased costs.
A JLL team led by brokers Jose Cruz, Ryan Robertson, Nicholas Stefans and Jason Lundy were marketing the property at 80 Baylis Road, whose offering material said there was “Strategically positioned for the transformation of Melville’s city…” The broker did not respond to a request for comment on the pending sale.
