New York
A PAIR of high-rise apartment towers is set to replace a decrepit parking deck in New Rochelle, extending the New York suburb's effort to draw younger residents by touting its urban feel and access to mass transit.
The 28-storey buildings will have 650 to 700 rental units, and will be a three-minute walk to New Rochelle's Metro-North rail station, said Seth Pinsky, executive vice-president of developer RXR Realty. They are part of a master plan designed to revitalise the Westchester County city's downtown to appeal to millennials who might otherwise choose to live in hipper areas like Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood or Brooklyn's Williamsburg.
