Hudson Park Downtown Yonkers Hudson Park Downtown Yonkers 13,500 Square Feet Available The Community Hudson Park Hudson Park is located in the south western section of Yonkers, which falls within Westchester County. With its close proximity to Manhattan, accessibility via multiple modes of transportation, and influx of new mixed-income residential developments, downtown Yonkers has become the new frontier for a vibrant and diverse community of renters, homeowners, and retailers. In recent years, the area has seen new shopping centers, breweries, and more access to public spaces. Recent development projects include the “daylighted” portion of the Saw Mill River becoming a focal point for Downtown Yonkers, iPark’s 24-acre office campus with 100 high-tech micro-units, Mill Creek’s Palisades Point 324-unit residential development, RXR’s Larkin Plaza 439-unit mixed-use development, and AvalonBay Communities’ proposed 609 units along the waterfront. Hudson Park is at the epicenter of the waterfront, drawing visibility from pedestrian and vehicular traffic which makes for a more desirable location within the downtown section. Hudson Park represents a unique opportunity for retailers seeking a highly visible location with excellent access in a flourishing trade area. Yonkers is the fourth largest city per capita in New York State. Geographically, Yonkers overlooks the Palisades by way of the Hudson River to the west. Yonkers lays south along the border of New York City’s Bronx Borough and extends north approximately five miles along the Hudson Valley waterfront in Westchester County. The City of Yonkers recently restored the Saw Mill River by “daylighting” a segment of the waterway buried underneath the ground. The $8.5M capital improvements stretch a mile east of the Hudson River and directly adjacent to Hudson Park’s development. The City of Yonkers is also experiencing a resurgence in residential development. Over 4,000 new units are slated for development by 2022. An uptick in public transportation via the Metro North and Amtrak trains being serviced at the Yonkers Station have transformed Downtown Yonkers into an emerging urban-and-suburban neighborhood.

    MacQuesten Companies Purchases Mount Vernon West Train Station HEZI ARIS 4:09PM • JULY 18, 2016 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, FINANCE, GOVERNANCE, HISTORY, MT. VERNON, TRAVEL 1 COMMENT Developer Reinforces Commitment to Mount Vernon’s Revitalization Mount Vernon West station is situated on Metro North’s Harlem Line. Mount Vernon City Seal in gold and maroon. PELHAM, NY — July 18, 2016 — In an acquisition that reaffirms and expands its already significant investment in the economic revival of the City of Mount Vernon, the MacQuesten Companies has purchased the strategically significant Mount Vernon West station on Metro-North’s Harlem Line. While the station’s platforms are owned by Metro-North, the station building has been privately owned since it was sold in 1959 by the original owner, the New York Central Railroad. MacQuesten bought the property from Davenis Realty Inc. for $3 million. The closing was July 14. At just 13.1 miles, Mount Vernon West is the closest station in Westchester County to Grand Central Terminal, a 22-minute ride. The station has a number of commercial tenants including a Chase Bank and several small businesses. The City of Mount Vernon is eager to transform the area from industrial uses to residential and retail development. A reimagined Metro-North station will serve as the focal point for a renaissance of a large surrounding area. “This is an underutilized property that cries out for revitalization,” said Rella Fogliano, President of the MacQuesten Companies, who has made several major investments in the city over the last several years. “The key to revitalizing and reimagining our urban areas is capitalizing on the mass transit opportunities that are already in place.

  • Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application
    DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE APPLICATION BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Mid‐Hudson Region Municipality Name: The City of Yonkers Downtown Name: Yonkers Downtown County Name: Westchester County VISION FOR DOWNTOWN The City of Yonkers seeks Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) funds to build on the recent redevelopment momentum in our compact downtown by investing in local assets to attract jobs, private investment and continue to transform the distressed downtown area into a vibrant, diverse and economically active transit‐oriented hub. Yonkers will develop a Strategic Investment Plan which considers these crucial developments: the continuation of the Saw Mill River Daylighting through a Phase 4, the redevelopment of Chicken Island, a property that has been vacant for decades and is the gateway to the downtown, and finally the Yonkers Greenway, which is the repurposing of an abandoned rail line into a trail through downtown. These are vital pieces of Yonkers’ revitalization efforts that will be major catalysts in the City’s economic renaissance for years to come. JUSTIFICATION Yonkers still faces severe economic challenges & the DRI funding is sorely needed, despite its many successes & building of momentum. Downtown Yonkers urgently needs to create & sustain long‐term recovery of this distressed target area (see photos). According to the 2010 Census, there are 12 contiguous Census Tracts within the downtown & the surrounding neighborhoods where 25% or more of the population lives below the national poverty level. More than half the target area earns less than 30% of the area median income, which is $107,400 within Westchester County. These areas suffer from higher unemployment rates than the City, state and national average.

    What does a railroad have to do with the future of the automobile? June 28, 2018 Michael J. Shiffer, Ph.D. Vice President, Planning MTA Metro-North Railroad [email protected] What does a railroad have to do with the future of the automobile? ¤ In this region, the future of the automobile is intrinsically tied to the future of the mass transit system. ¤ This is due to the agglomeration economy of Manhattan and its continuing dependence on the extraordinary carrying capacity of the rail network. ¤ Travel patterns continue to evolve. ¤ Access to the rail network is key. The Regional Rail Context 3 Metro-North Railroad • 123 Stations • 756 Active Miles of Track • 711Daily Revenue Trains • 294,000 Trips per day ¤ Total East of Hudson ridership has increased by 57% from 53.8 million in 1987 to 84.9 million in 2017, an increase of over 31 million annual rides. ¤ 87% of AM commuters to Manhattan from Metro-North service territory ride Metro-North Railroad ¤ 2/3rds of the growth over the past 10 years has been on the “inner” portions of our lines. Notable Generational Dynamics ¤The Millennials (born after 1980) • About 22% of regional population • Growing the labor force • Desire to live in urban settings • Less interest or financial ability in owning a car • A tech-savvy “24 hour” lifestyle • Are they really revolutionary or will they follow traditional migration patterns? • City v.

  • Downtown Yonkers: a Cleaner, Greener Place to Call Home
    Downtown Yonkers: A Cleaner, Greener Place to Call Home Living In By JANE MARGOLIES, JULY 19, 2017 On a recent Friday afternoon, Nathan Hunter, dressed in a carrot costume, supervised the weekly farmers’ market on the grounds of the historical Philipse Manor Hall in downtown Yonkers. Across Warburton Avenue, recent graduates of nearby Sarah Lawrence College gathered in a new art gallery, using computer modeling to design bike racks for the city. Gregg Vigliotti for The New York Times And behind the bar at the Yonkers Brewing Company, Joe Minkler was preparing for the busiest night of the workweek. “I’m making sure everything is clean and organized,” he said, “so when the chaos begins, I’m ready.” Some call it revitalization, others gentrification. But no one can deny that change is sweeping the once sleepy downtown of Yonkers, which lies directly north of the Bronx, in Westchester County, and has long been regarded as a blue-collar stepchild of New York City. The changes started along the Hudson River a dozen years ago, with apartment buildings going up on old industrial sites. And now another, smaller river — the Saw Mill, which meanders into the Hudson, but was paved over in the 19th century when it was fouled with industrial waste — is drawing development inland. 23 WATER GRANT STREET An 896-square-foot one-bedroom, one-bath condo in the Scrimshaw House listed for $325,000, with monthly maintenance of $563. 914-962-000 .

  • National Register of Historic Places Registration Form
    New York State and National Registers of Historic Places FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are the State and National Registers of Historic Places? The State and National Registers are the official lists of properties significant in history, architecture, engineering, landscape design, archeology, and culture. Properties may be significant in local, state and/or national contexts. More than 120,000 properties in New York have received this prestigious recognition. What qualifies a property for listing on the registers? The registers recognize all aspects of New York’s diverse history and culture. Eligible properties must represent a significant historic theme (e.g., architecture, agriculture, industry, transportation) and they must be intact enough to illustrate their association with that theme. Properties must usually be more than 50 years of age to be considered for listing. What are the benefits of being listed on the registers? The State and National Registers are a recognized and visible component of public and private planning. The registers promote heritage tourism, economic development and appreciation of historic resources. Benefits include: Official recognition that a property is significant to the nation, the state, or the local community. Eligibility to apply for the state homeowner tax credit and/or the state and federal commercial historic rehabilitation tax credits. Eligibility (not-for-profit organizations and municipalities only) to apply for New York State historic preservation grants. Other grants, also requiring listing, may be available through other public and private sources. Properties that meet the criteria for registers listing receive a measure of protection from state and federal undertakings regardless of their listing status.
