Unrelated to RXR, but here’s a new project brought to you by **Beyer, Blinder & Belle**. Fresh from the planning board meeting, they are proposing **two-27 story towers** with a 4 story podium consisting of retail, commercial space, and parking spaces… the towers are actually 23 stories alone. The project includes frontage on North Ave, Main St, and Lecount Pl. In total there’s about **14,000 sq. ft. of commercial space**. Additional details to come soon, here’s just shots of what they presented for now. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/3/2/32483e4f8f3c95c3edf0e76d91802026bdc6bbd3.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/0/0/00e79de17333fb1392175340576009a4493292eb.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/a/7a1da2ce64db28a6e473255a810586526cab5b0f.jpeg) _Current view of 14 Lecount Pl.

@ Nikolai/ Andrew Nelson, This might make for a good morning story on the main site. Great info nramacciato. 😄 Its good to see this small boom in New Rochelle. Some solid developments. Residential I presume. Any word on the unit counts? ---

Cheers. I just enjoy sharing the info I come across about the work going on around here. I’m loving all of the activity. It would definitely make for a good story, but I think having an official rendering would really make it a **great** story 🙂 Correct, mostly residential. 500 apartments in total. No idea about the way it’s all divided, but I’m assuming there’s a good mix of studios, one, and two bedrooms. Maybe some three bedrooms thrown in as well. ---

At last night’s planning board meeting, discussions began regarding an amended site plan, which directly affects Phase 2 of the project. It now includes additional parcels on the corner of North Avenue and Main Street. This now allows for a larger footprint and podium, as well as more retail and parking. Along with this, the amended site plan can include 40 more units. They will return to the next meeting for approval. The amended site footprint would look like this. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/5/c5b041b75630229e6cbe2bae981b881ae494fd7b.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/a/da3a8c0ae2ae7e6c3d16c635a60af926586b3d61.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/0/c0e4a47da5d4e507b79e2a0b0e9796a8fef40431.jpeg) _LeCount Place Elevation, looking west_ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/5/d/5d803b51884db34c82460214cedddc0ed7159ae0.jpeg) _North Avenue Elevation, looking east_ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/0/2/027ce66b0d246f4477c97f75c2772fe683e06b61.jpeg) _North & Main, looking NE towards the development_ ---

We did a drone shot of the 14 LeCount site today. Very interesting looking through to Main Street.

I use this map portal that can be found on the city’s site. I forgot where exactly, but [here’s a direct link](http://54.84.103.237/NewRochelleMapPrint/Default.aspx) to it. Once it loads you can zoom in on all of the parcels and view more information as you click on them. The purple you see in my screenshots is just some light Photoshop work to help everyone visualize the project. I cover all of the project’s included parcels in the purple. It seems 8 Westchester is separate from 64 Centre, but they’re very close regardless. It shows up as 18 Westchester on the site. If you’d like, I can help you create some of these graphics for the site. I’m sure everyone would appreciate having a top-down view. ---
