The East End Dig

Digging up what’s being built in the Hamptons.

No. 15 · Week of October 6 – October 12, 2026

Morning, East End. Palumbo and Murray get substantive, the East Hampton Star reports on October 8, 2026, naming Anthony Palumbo and Christopher Murray. Affordability and the environment were the top priorities voiced. Short and to the point. No fluff. To the sheet.

266 filings hit the public record this week. 208 in Southampton and 58 in East Hampton. Hampton Bays topped the sheet this week, 38 filings.

4 filings mention hot tub this week. The amenities race continues.
