Renderings have been revealed for 466 Main Street, a proposed two-tower residential complex in New Rochelle, Westchester County. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by BRP Companies, the 28-story structures will span 929,415 square feet and yield 805 rental units. The project will also include ground-floor retail, a 711-vehicle valet parking garage, and 25,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor amenities.
The property spans a full block bounded by Main Street (Route 1), North Avenue, Clinton Place, and Locust Avenue.
The street-level rendering above looks east from the intersection of Main Street and North Avenue, showing the buildings connected by a multistory podium housing the retail space and parking structure. Above, the towers rise with cohesive multifaceted forms that step upward to tall bulkheads. The façade is depicted composed of floor-to-ceiling glass framed by beveled bronze-hued paneling. The central volume on each tower utilizes more expansive stretches of glass, with a staggered grid of mullions arranged in three-story increments.
The below renderings preview the project’s broad elevation along North Avenue, followed by an aerial perspective of its rear side looking southwest. The latter shows a cutout above the podium of the south tower featuring an outdoor swimming pool.

The property is currently occupied by a two-story commercial structure, as seen in the below Google Street View image from the same orientation as the header photo. A surface-level parking lot covers the southern portion of the parcel.

Building 1 will house 489 units at the northern end of the lot, while the remaining 316 apartments will be located in Building 2 to the south. Homes will consist of 257 studios, 377 one-bedrooms, 156 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.
The following top-down plan shows Building 1 extending east to Locust Avenue with a three-story panhandle, which will be topped with an amenity deck featuring an additional outdoor swimming pool.

The developer, with the help of Cuddy & Feder, acquired the site last summer, while a site plan approval from the New Rochelle Planning Board was later announced last October.
The project is located a short walk to the east of the New Rochelle station on the Metro-North Railroad. Direct access to Penn Station is expected to be introduced in 2027.
A construction timeline for 466 Main Street has yet to be announced.

When does construction start?
New Rochelle used to be so open and clear now all the new high-rises make it so much heavier and darker. What’s the point?
Interesting design.
Key is ATTRACTING “ground floor” retail. New Ro is still a now a city with lots of fancy apartment buildings and very few places to eat or shop. It’s quite strange.
Looks nice.
Towers like these should be all over the skyline north and east of NYC popping out of areas that are otherwise majority SFH. Toronto style dense suburbs is the way to go IMO. Better to add housing through multiple large and tall developments than to focus on zoning changes that target SFH streets for smaller multi-family buildings that the neighbors resent and resist, regardless of how biased, unfair or unjustified that resistance may seem to people like us on a forum like this.
Totally agree.
Agree.
And agree that Toronto is on the right track. They are building out their “suburban’ areas of SFH put up in the suburbs of decades past that are now inside the city. Rapid transit laid down on core streets. Mostly leaving the SFH alone and allowing major upozoning that is on a transit corridor creating dense neighborhood nodes.
Overtime, many of the occupants of these side streets will begin to see the value in allowing density to increase.
Toronto Style? Guess you’ve never driven around metro NY and NJ? NJ, for instance is crammed full of developments like this from Fort Lee (at the GW Bridge) all the way down to Jersey City.
Yeah, I’ve never driven around metro NY or NJ. That makes sense.
Are you claiming Nassau County is sprinkled with dense modern highrise developments scattered all over? Or that there is numerous of the same all over Westchester County in otherwise lower density SFH areas outside of DT New Rochelle? Also I clearly said north and east of the city, never mentioning NJ at all, let alone being completely ignorant of the fact the highrise complexes have stretched through Hudson and Bergen counties outside of JC for 50+ years.
Thanks so much for the heads up though.
Yes, New Rochelle has a few high rises that are decades old. In the past 5 years, like everywhere in NYC, New Rochelle has gone bananas with several projects like this, same is true further east in Stamford, CT. Another new boom town is Journal Square, which is west of downtown Jersey City where several skyscrapers over 700′, where just a decade ago there was nothing over 12 to 15 stories.
So maybe we call it, “New York Metro Style,” not “Toronto Style”😉
The thing is that most suburbs – especially in Nassau and Suffolk – specifically do not want urban type development…. They specifically vote for people who keep their towns the way they are.
Even in Connecticut – most of Connecticut doesn’t want to look like Stamford (or even Hartford – but that’s a separate metro area)
White Plains, Yonkers, and New Rochelle have always been significantly more urbanist than other parts of Westchester, especially around the Metro-North stations. It’s really nice that they’re continuing to show the way forward. Hopefully one day we can even get our cross-county trams back.
Pound for pound – MTVernon is the most urban part of Westchester. And of course has the most dense Metro North coverage. 3 stations in a relatively small area.
A modern cross-county link would be amazing for our lower Westchester region. It feels too far away into the future, though.
I’m all for verticality especially near transit hubs like Metro North, etc, but this “boxy”, kinda “DRAB” design seems to have way too much🤔, “symmetry” with all the 1960’s reminiscent “style”. I wish they could modify the final build design to have a little more asymmetry
I.E.; Kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone by adding balcony/ terrace spaces for residents to enjoy & break up that “UN Building look”, etc, etc, Architecture should INSPIRE both for the ppl that live, work & use the bldg & the rest of us that have to look at it in “perpetuity”👍☮️🕊️🌳🌲🐿️
In the years the Ukraine War has been going on I’ve noticed their are some really good looking new highrise buildings around the periphery of Kiev.
