Greystar Real Estate Partners has broken ground on 25 North Lex, a high-rise rental property at 25 North Lexington Avenue in White Plains, New York. Located in the city’s downtown area, the development will contain 500 rental apartments, 60,000 square feet of amenities, and 19,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
The project is Greystar’s first development in New York State.
“We’re excited to break ground on 25 North Lex which reflects our confidence in the existing appeal and considerable growth potential of Downtown White Plains,” said managing director at Greystar, Gary Kerr. “With its central location between New York City and Southern Connecticut, rail connectivity, and improved 24/7 urban lifestyle environment within suburban Westchester County, this area is ideal for those seeking a dynamic live/work/play setting.”
Designed by Handel Architects, 25 North Lex comprises a pair of intersecting towers set atop a four-story odium. The shorter volume will top out at 16 stories, while the larger tower will rise to 25 stories. The glass curtain wall is accented with bronzed metal panels and gray cladding.
The amenity suite will include a fitness center, a yoga studio, study rooms, a children’s playroom, private dining and meeting rooms, a communal lounge, a pet spa and dog run, a golf simulator, and a “Sky Lounge” perched on the 17th floor. Residents will also have access to a fifth-floor roof deck with an outdoor pool, grilling stations, gazebos, fire pits, a lawn, and community gardens.
Available units will range from studios up to three-bedroom accommodations.

“We look forward to complementing that with a top-of-market, highly amenitized residential offering and supportive retail space that will serve the community at large,” said Kerr, who also stressed the collaborative relationship with the City of White Plains, Westchester County, and the many supporting agencies who are supporting the completion of 25 North Lex.
Westchester County executive George Latimer, White Plains mayor Thomas Roach, White Plains chief of staff John Callahan, and fellow local officials joined principals of Greystar and members of the business community in a ceremony signifying the start of construction of 25 North Lex, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024.

This looks pretty good!
That was kind of sketchy neighborhood last time I was there. Hope it’s improved since then!
Hopefully it’s a union job
All this development is great, wonder what is really happening or not happening at 37 Dekalb Av, still undeveloped after 6-7 yrs, this community deserves better.
Looks a bit like Essex Crossing.
