The entity 260 N LLC is proposing to construct a new 28-story, 414-unit apartment building with 7,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor\u00a0at 260 North Ave. in New Rochelle. The project would need site plan approval from the city\u2019s Planning Board.<\/p>\n

The project has been named \u201c260 North\u201d and was designed by Papp Architects, which is based in White Plains.<\/p>\n

The building would include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, onsite parking for 432 cars, and amenities for residents that include a roof deck with a pool.<\/p>\n

The plan for retail on the ground floor includes a 4,000-square-feet space intended for a restaurant and 3,000 square feet of miscellaneous retail spaces.<\/p>\n

Architect Philip Fruchter told Westfair\u2019s Westchester County Business Journal that the location \u201cacts as the gateway into downtown after crossing the Metro-North overpass on North Avenue.\u00a0To celebrate the gateway, we designed a building with a curved prominent corner creating a multi-story rotunda featuring a site-specific art installation.\u00a0To activate the streetscape, we have located retail spaces on all three sides of the building and inserted landscaped perennial planting beds into the sidewalks and enhanced the traffic island on North Avenue with landscaping.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Fruchter, the site is on a corner of North Avenue at the intersection with Huguenot Street that presently is owned and occupied by Citizens Bank, NA. The bank is in contract to sell the 32,800-square-feet site to 260 N LLC. The existing building on the site is 14,671 square feet and was built in 1926. The bank has committed to reoccupy 3,500 square feet of ground floor space after construction of the new tower is completed. The bank will continue to have a drive-through ATM and street-level parking for bank customers. Citizens Bank will relocate to a temporary location during construction.<\/p>\n

Fruchter pointed out that the exterior building design features a green-tinted and clear glass and metal curtain wall with Virginia black granite and foamed aluminum wall panels on the ground floor. He explained that the exterior includes recessed accent balconies and that the existing traffic island on North Avenue is proposed to be enhanced with landscaping.<\/p>\n

The site for the new building is one block from the New Rochelle Transit Center.\u00a0New Rochelle has a project to transform the station into a modern, pedestrian-friendly transit hub. The estimated cost of the transformation is $100 million to $125 million. It\u2019s estimated that the Transit Center project could be completed late next year or early in 2028.<\/p>\n
