Hold off buying that New Rochelle skyline poster for a little while longer — the city's skyline is still growing up.
NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), BRP Companies and the City of New Rochelle announced last week that construction has now started on a new $297 million mixed-use housing development in downtown New Rochelle.
On Thursday, representatives from BRP and officials from New Rochelle and Westchester County broke ground on 500 Main Street, a 26-story, 477-unit, mixed-income residential complex.
There will be 110 studios, 218 one-bedrooms and 149 two-bedrooms at the property.
Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024, the development will also include around 24,000 square feet of community spaces, including a resident fitness center, a lounge, a pool, a roof deck, a landscaped terrace, a dog run and on-site parking.
119 of the 477 homes are reserved as affordable housing, with 20 units available to residents earning up to 50 percent of the area median income (AMI) and an additional 99 units available to residents earning up to 60 percent of AMI.

"With the highest quality housing at multiple price points, attractive state-of-the-art amenities, and vibrant ground floor energy, 500 Main exemplifies the values at the heart of New Rochelle's plans for sustainable, equitable downtown growth and will contribute significantly to the economic, cultural, and social vitality of our community," New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson told those gathered. "I am grateful for Governor Hochul's effective leadership on housing priorities and for New York State's strong commitment to this project."
500 Main Street is designed to be energy-efficient and will meet the criteria for Enterprise Green Communities certifications. Energy efficiency measures will include a high-performance building envelope, low-flow plumbing fixtures, energy-efficient lighting and the use of ENERGY STAR appliances.

The overall goal of the City of New Rochelle’s Master Development initiative is to create a vibrant, ethnically and culturally diverse community downtown that draws people from across New Rochelle and throughout the wider region, according to the city. The redevelopment plan has already helped attract $2.2 billion in private investment, through the approvals of 32 development projects which have brought 9.2 million square feet of space downtown and the creation of nearly 4,000 new housing units, officials said.
BRP is collaborating with Skycore Builders, a New York-based construction company that has overseen construction of more than 18 million square feet of residential buildings.
