For most of the time Bryant Plaza has been finished, its ground floor sat unfinished. JK Equities says the building at the Roslyn LIRR station was completed in late 2024. Jerry and Jordan Karlik, the father and son who developed it, held the public grand opening on June 24, 2025. At that point the retail space was still being leased.
Then, in twelve days in July 2026, two businesses opened at 333 Warner Ave. Pilar Coffee Bar started serving on July 6, and CorePower Yoga opened on July 18. A nail salon went before the village zoning board earlier in the year. Together they match, almost item for item, the list the developers gave the Long Island Press the summer before.
The 2025 list, checked against fall 2026
When the building opened, the Karliks said they wanted "yoga studios, nail salons, and restaurants" to serve both residents and commuters. They also said they were talking with an anchor tenant they had not yet named. Here is where each item stands as of September 30, 2026:
- Yoga studio: Open. CorePower Yoga, Suite B, since July 18, 2026.
- Food and drink: Open. Pilar Coffee Bar, since July 6, 2026, with a ribbon-cutting on Aug. 7.
- Nail salon: Announced. Roslyn Nail Salon & Spa was named as a tenant in March 2026 coverage. We could not find a report confirming it has opened.
A café isn't quite the restaurant the Karliks described, but it covers the same need. Pilar's menu goes beyond coffee to avocado toast and a Mediterranean Milanese Salad.
Pilar Coffee Bar faces the platform
The Roslyn Chamber of Commerce describes Pilar's location as "directly across from the Long Island Railroad." For a block whose foot traffic comes from the train, that matters more than anything on the menu.
The shop is a franchise run by three longtime friends, Joe D'Alessandro, Michael Brown and Justin Johnson. They hold the rights to open Pilar locations across New York. The name is Spanish for "pillar." The drinks lean sweet and seasonal, including a Biscoff Butter Cookie Latte, a Toasted Marshmallow Latte and a Honey-Cinnamon Latte.
The Aug. 7 ribbon-cutting was held on a hot evening. Chamber President Gwen Levy, North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and several chamber board members attended. According to the Long Island Press, more Pilar locations are planned for Huntington and East Northport. That makes Roslyn the first of several on the North Shore, not a one-off. The Roslyn shop's number is 516-583-0700.
CorePower picked Roslyn first on Long Island
CorePower Yoga's studio is the bigger signal of how the block is changing. The Denver-based company is the largest yoga studio chain in the country, with 222 studios in 22 states and Washington, D.C. Before Roslyn, all 13 of its New York studios were in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Roslyn is its first Long Island location. A Huntington Station studio is expected later this year and a Uniondale studio early next year.
The studio is 2,661 square feet. Classes include Yoga Sculpt, a heated workout that combines yoga, cardio and strength training, and CorePower Strength X, a 45-minute high-intensity interval class. A monthly membership costs $259. Each of the company's Long Island studios is expected to employ about 35 people.
RIPCO announced the two leases together in January 2026, so both tenants were signed six months before either opened. That explains why they opened so close together.
A four-space parking question for the salon
The third tenant's paperwork shows what the space is like to work with. The Village of Roslyn Board of Zoning Appeals took up Roslyn Nail Salon & Spa's application at its meeting on January 5, 2026. The plan is a 1,390-square-foot build-out with four nail stations, five pedicure chairs and a waiting area. It needed a variance for four parking spaces.
A four-space shortfall is small. Still, it shows that even next to a train station, the village reviews each new storefront against its parking rules. That review is part of why a building finished in late 2024 is still filling its ground floor in fall 2026. We found no published opening date for the salon.
What the building replaced
Most people at the station probably remember the site before. In 2025, Jerry Karlik, who has lived in Roslyn for nearly 40 years, described it as a former retail plaza on Bryant Avenue that had sat empty for a long time. "I must have passed it a thousand times," he said.
The replacement sits on just under an acre next to the station. It is a 100,000-square-foot building designed by Greenvale-based Mojo Stumer, with oversized windows, secure indoor parking and 40 electric vehicle charging stations. JK Equities developed it with Century Realty Investors. It has 54 apartments above 6,600 square feet of ground-floor retail.
The timeline from approval to open storefronts took about five years:
- March 23, 2021: The Village of Roslyn board votes 5–0 to approve the project after a rezoning review.
- Late 2024: JK Equities lists the building as complete.
- June 24, 2025: Public grand opening, with retail still being leased.
- January 2026: The CorePower and Pilar leases are announced, and the salon goes before the zoning board.
- July 6 and July 18, 2026: Pilar and CorePower open.
The station block's other two openings are still pending
Bryant Plaza is the part of the station end that has a confirmed opening date. Two nearby projects that will shape the same walk don't have one yet.
The first is the Roslyn LIRR station house. Newsday reported in April 2025 that the LIRR had begun repairs, closing the station house and 10 parking spaces. It expected both to reopen by summer 2026. The planned work covered the roof, gutters and windows, the columns and cross-beams, new platform signs, LED lighting and the canopy. It was paid for with MTA capital and operating funds. The MTA has not disclosed the cost. Summer has now passed, and we could not find any public report confirming that the station house has reopened or that the schedule changed. The MTA's station page lists ramps, tactile warning strips, audio and visual passenger information and a waiting area, but it doesn't say whether the renovation is finished.
The second is the former Roslyn Cinema at 20 Tower Place, which is being converted to retail. Newsday reported in January 2026 that the owner was talking with several retailers and preferred one high-end store. A Long Island Press report in February said the owners were looking for one tenant to take the whole space. We have not found a tenant announcement since then.
So, as of the last day of September, the train-side end of Roslyn has a coffee bar and a national yoga studio open across from the platform, a nail salon named as a tenant but not yet confirmed open, a station house with no announced reopening date, and a former theater still without a named tenant.
At Pat Gaglio, we follow small details like a four-space parking variance and a station house that missed its forecast, because they show where a street is headed before it gets there. If you own near the Roslyn station and want to talk about what these changes could mean for your home, schedule a free consultation.
