Site plan approval has been granted for Pratt Landing, a mixed-use waterfront development in New Rochelle located along the Long Island Sound. Developed in a collaborative effort between Twining Properties, the City of New Rochelle, and the State of New York, the project will convert a former industrial brownfield into a community hub with over 300 residential units and 99 condominiums. Project work will include the restoration of the historic New Rochelle Naval Armory, which when restored will feature housing reserved for veterans. Construction on the project is scheduled to commence in 2026 and is expected to complete in 2029.

This looks pretty awesome. Very Euro.
Yeah! It’s like being in Europe, so Robert AM Stern Architects is a professional in all environments: Thanks.
It being built on the most toxic site in NY. Laced with Agent Orange type toxins which already killed many people.
This is excellent for New Rochelle.
This is what every single NYC suburb should look like! New Rochelle is truly the best of any town in New York.
Hopefully there’s a national retailer coming down there.
Way to go, New Rochelle!
Looks great I hope there’s a security and traffic plan to go along with this very ambitious project!
Could be cute.
I love this. But we really need more businesses to fill all the empty retail locations. And not more coffee shops or store front churches that don’t pay taxes.
Not likely going to happen. The area is highly contaminated with Agent Orange-like chemicals that already killed many people. New Rochelle has been peddling this site for 40 years and faced lawsuits because of pollution there. It remains a “Brownfield” and the taxpayers of NY are on the hook for many millions of dollars before any development happens, while the polluters are laughing all the way to the bank.
Our only industrial spot along Westchester County:s long Island Sound shoreline, and the best location for an expressway bridge and railway Causewayconnectinv.New Rochelle and Sands Point.
Our political officials have surrendered to greed.
A prime example of the need for eminent domain.
1. Is there a date for ground breaking.
2. Are any units being leased or up for sale?
And New Rochelle will give the developers a 50 year pass on taxes. Generating no revenue and in the process destroying a historic building. City Hall is killing New Ro.
