New renderings have been released for Allen, a 28-story residential tower at 247 North Avenue in Downtown New Rochelle. The project will yield 307 rental units, 31 of which will be affordable, along with 2,000 square feet of retail and 257 parking spaces. Designed by Studio V and developed by LCOR, the project will feature one of New York State’s largest geothermal energy systems. Allen marks LCOR’s second geothermal project in New York, following 1515 Surf Avenue in Brooklyn, and precedes their upcoming Hoboken Connect development in New Jersey.

Jay Valgora, Founder of STUDIO V describes the architectural design as “a distinctive gateway to New Rochelle, offering a striking presence from the city’s train station. Our architectural design reinterprets the dramatic arches and curved forms of New Rochelle’s architectural heritage with contemporary forms and details.”
Residences are offered in studio to two-bedrooms layouts, and include 12 penthouse units with private outdoor space. Amenities will include coworking spaces, a fitness center with a yoga studio, an outdoor pool and sun deck, a penthouse sky lounge, gaming rooms, a pet spa, and bicycle storage.

Transit near Allen includes the Metro-North New Rochelle station, which offers a 30-minute ride to Grand Central Terminal, with future direct service to Penn Station planned by 2027.
“The design for Allen was inspired by New Rochelle’s rich history and natural surroundings,” said Karen Asprea, founder of Asprea Studio. “We chose an earthy, classic palette to create spaces that feel elevated but also deeply personal, bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of home to every corner.”

Just as hideous as the surrounding buildings. Ugh.
Looks great!
Holy parking
Bruh… this building is such a dissapointment. Could’ve actually have had mixed up the brick colors with different grays and whites but no… it’s freaking ONE COLOR of a bland building. Who allows this? Why are bland buildings allowed to be built like this??
