A groundbreaking ceremony has been held for the 28-story, 280-unit mixed-use tower under development at 587 Main Street, in downtown New Rochelle, in southern Westchester County. The project is a redevelopment of the abandoned two-story Loew’s Theater, Westfair reported. The theater’s façade will be preserved and restored, while the performance space will be converted into a 10,000-square-foot black box theater. In addition, the base will include 17,000 square feet of commercial space and a 234-car parking garage. The residential units in the tower will be rentals. RXR Realty, Brause Realty, and ABS Partners Real Estate are the developers. Paulus, Sokolowski and Sartor (PS&S) is the architect and completion is expected in late 2018.

New rendering new design new structure and, don’t demand or call for because 28-story is ready.
This tower will be a fantastic addition to the blighted, very unattractive Main street area. I look forward to its completion and the renaissance of downtown New Rochelle. The best feature of the project? The preservation of the Loew’s theater! I wish the developers a speedy and successful job ahead.
