The plan looks great. But it has to survive the NIMBY gauntlet because it requires a big rezoning. Don’t want to get my hopes up too much yet.

194 Yonkers Avenue LLC, which has its address at the offices of The Stagg Group, a development company in the Bronx, is asking Yonkers to allow it to build a bigger building at 182 to 196 Fillmore St. and 180 to 194 Yonkers Ave. Back in April of last year Yonkers approved plans for a 15-story 156-unit affordable apartment building at the site. The developer now wants to modify the project to be a 13-story building with 350 apartments with 444 parking spaces.
The developer has told Yonkers that it has purchased seven more lots to add to the 11 it owned when the original plan was approved. It said that the revised building would contain 70 studio apartments, 140 one-bedroom units, 105 two-bedroom units and 35 three-bedroom units. The project would be 100% affordable for people earning between 50% and 60% of the Area Median Income.

The last two photos show Miroza - it seems progress is somewhat slow compared to the last update. Or has it picked up?
It has gained a floor since the last time I was there. Kind of moving slow when you compare it to the other 20-30 construction sites in Westchester.

The second project receiving preliminary approval for incentives from the YIDA is Abbey on the Park. It involves two buildings at 21-23 Park Ave. in Yonkers that are slated for rehabilitation, the Ethan Flagg House and the Blessed Sacrament Monastery, plus construction of a new building. The existing structures will be configured to provide 49 apartments. The new building will contain 33 apartments, for a total of 82 apartments. Eighty-one of the 82 total units would be rented at 60% AMI, with the remaining unit being reserved as a superintendent’s unit. In addition, The Abbey on the Park will also provide a preference for those involved in artistic or literary activities for 20% to 50% of the units. The redevelopment will also include improvements to the sidewalk fronting the site along Park Avenue.

Seems like there’s been an architectural redesign. The old design resembled a NYCHA asset. The new design has a polychromatic facade.

real shame, it was a gem
and Yonkers’s government is not going to let it be replaced with anything half as nice and pedestrian-friendly

It’s too awkward to develop on account of being a small trapezoidal lot surrounded by other buildings that have not yet collapsed.
I predict this will remain an empty lot for at least two or three decades.

Lots like that are developed in NYC and JC all the time. And that very same trapezoidal site was formerly developed in Yonkers in the 1930s, when it was already surrounded by existing buildings. What’s changed in Yonkers since the 30s is the zoning and building codes. Stringent parking requirements, lot coverage, setbacks, etc don’t work well on sites like this.
Agreed that it won’t be developed for decades.
