if they can acquire the site of the downtown library, RXR will build a landmark 48-story tower which I hope will surpass the Westchester Ritz Carlton Condo towers in White Plains.

Construction to Begin in New Rochelle on $120 Million Apartment Building
Project will serve as cornerstone for a 10-year plan to add more housing and businesses downtown https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/...1129160454.jpg A rendering showing commercial space in the tower planned for downtown New Rochelle. PHOTO: RXR REALTY LLC Real-estate development firm RXR Realty is set to begin construction Wednesday in New Rochelle on a $120 million apartment building that will serve as a cornerstone for a 10-year plan to add more housing and businesses downtown. The city’s $4 billion plan will include 12 million square feet for new apartments, commercial-office space and arts and cultural institutions. New Rochelle, part of Westchester County, saw many residents and businesses leave the downtown during the 1970s and 1980s. Developers returned in the late 1990s and early 2000s and built some 1,500 units of housing along with a new entertainment center and a park, said Mayor Noam Bramson. “That initial wave did not achieve the critical mass that ignites a downtown area as a whole,” Mr. Bramson said. “This next effort, which is more ambitious in its scale and procedural components, is intended to achieve that broader transformation.” New Rochelle plans for 6,370 new housing units to be built downtown over the next decade. About 8,700 people live in downtown New Rochelle as of the 2010 Census. The plan will add 1,200 hotel rooms and 2.4 million square feet of commercial office space. New Rochelle’s plan to build up its downtown fits a pattern seen throughout the tri-state area where developers have focused in recent years on building apartment buildings in suburbs and smaller cities close to mass transit that can take people into Midtown Manhattan, said Chris Jones, chief planner for the Regional Plan Association, an urban research and advocacy group. “That kind of came to a halt when the housing bubble hit in 2008,” Mr. Jones said. “They are starting to come back online now.” New Rochelle, with a population of about 79,800, picked RXR and real-estate firm Renaissance Downtowns as lead developers for the initiative. Scott Rechler, chief executive of RXR, said many young professionals and empty nesters can’t afford to live in Manhattan, but still want to live in an walkable urban area close to New York. “They are all looking for this type of downtown lifestyle but perhaps without being in a city like New York City,” Mr. Rechler said. |
Demolition has started on the 587 Main St. project. This is where the tower will stand when completed.

The above photo is connected to this article and rendering. Cappelli's old LeCount Square proposal was incredibly ambitious. I wish they were able to get it off the ground as New Rochelle would have benefited greatly from it.

Back in January the city issued a RFP for the No 1 Firehouse. A 28 story tower will be built.

The RFP had a March 10th deadline, and lohud reported that "about 30 people interested in development attended a voluntary site visit on Jan. 25". The same article mentions that the city is open to de-mapping Cedar Street, which runs behind the station, to allow for more sq. footage - but I think they'd need state approval to do that. Not sure what the status is on the bid, as they haven't mentioned it since they announced it.
The tricky part actually seems to be more of a possible major dilemma. |
Here's a new photo showing the progress they made since starting demolition. I don't think they have much left to do at this point. Not sure when actual construction work will begin, but I'll keep the thread updated.

Lots of dump trucks were loaded with debris from the site and went on their way. Site cleanup is definitely getting done. It's only a matter of time before we see proper construction.
