A 155-unit condominium development proposed for Woodmere is scheduled for a Town of Hempstead Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on September 2. The project needs a variance to proceed — the current zoning does not allow the density the developer is proposing.

Details on the applicant, architect, and site plan are in the ZBA filing. What matters for the trades: if this clears the board, 155 units of new multifamily construction will enter the pipeline in one of the denser residential corridors on the South Shore of Nassau County.

Woodmere sits on the LIRR's Far Rockaway branch, which gives it the transit access that Nassau County's comprehensive plan increasingly rewards. Whether the ZBA sees it that way on Tuesday is the question.

Why this matters. A 155-unit project is a meaningful start for any GC or sub working on Long Island residential. But it is a ZBA hearing, not a groundbreaking — the variance has to clear first. Worth watching, not worth mobilizing for yet.

What to do next. The hearing is September 2 at the Town of Hempstead ZBA. If it clears, watch for site-plan approval and building-permit filings. That is when the real timeline starts.
