Keeping my eyes peeled for this one…

The applicant proposes to construct two new multi-story, multifamily buildings on one development lot, each comprised of one podium and one tower. Buildings include (in total) 805 residential apartments, 2 retail spaces, and 2 accessory enclosed valet parking facilities for 711 cars. The project includes merging the existing 6 tax parcels (Section 1, Block 215, Lots 0029, 0034, 0042, 0052, 0051 and 0054) and then subdividing the new lot into 2 separate parcels (one for each building).

Very close to New Rochelle / Larchmont border.
First look at a new development at the corner of Main and Centre. Pictures via NewRochelleDevelopment
New Rochelle is stepping up! Another development in the works at 2 Shearwood Place. (28 stories and 369 apartments) Hopefully White Plains’ construction picks up and Yonkers’ chicken island development starts soon.
366-368 Pelham Road
The property is at 366 and 368 Pelham Road, along New Rochelle Harbor. It has been in Meighan’s family since the mid-1950s, when his father and uncle developed what eventually became an A&P grocery store, bank branch and pizza parlor.
In 2020, MCRT agreed to buy the property for $18.1 million, according to the lawsuit. The price was reduced to $14.7 million in 2023, and MCRT deposited $1 million.
MCRT needed new zoning and other governmental land use approvals to build a complex with about 325 apartments.
The planning meeting was certainly an interesting one. A significant number of people attended the public comment session, which remained fairly orderly for the most part. However, tensions rose when the applicants returned to the podium, as some individuals in the crowd attempted to speak over them. It was a clear example of how opposition in these meetings tends to be driven more by emotion than by objective reasoning. Rather than engaging in a structured debate, many attendees seemed to voice concerns based on personal feelings rather than concrete arguments or factual considerations.

sounds like a parks and recreation episode lol
Sounds like most arguments from NIMBYs: “It’s bad because I don’t like it.”
Some of the NIMBYism spilled into that Instagram post’s comments, and a NIMBY group thanked people for showing up to oppose the project and don’t plan to back down. If it was on facebook, it’d be 50x worse.
