The White Plains Common Council recently approved the construction of a new 296-unit apartment complex near the city’s northwestern border. The complex is the latest project from BRP Companies, a Manhattan-based developer, and will occupy a 2.44-acre lot assemblage.

While the assemblage comprises over one dozen lots, the two buildings within the complex are referred to as Building A at 20 Harlem Avenue and Building B at 27 Holland Avenue. Designed by Perkins Eastman, each building will feature a red and gray brick façade, industrial-style windows, and recessed balconies for select residences.

As first reported by local news outlet Westfair Communications, the residential program will include 59 studio apartments, 148 one-bedroom units, and 89 two-bedroom units, spread across two distinct buildings. All of the apartments will be marketed as rental units. Future occupants will have access to a fitness center, bike storage, a communal lounge, and landscaped outdoor areas.

The development will also include a new 15,000-square-foot public park, around 1,000 square feet of lower-level retail, and 216 parking spaces.

The transit-oriented property is located several blocks away from the North White Plains train station on the Metro-North Railroad’s Harlem Line, making it an attractive draw for commuters.

“In terms of the White Plains project, I think its proximity to the Metro-North train station was the primary factor in our interest as a company in doing that deal,” said Rashid Walker, BRP Companies’ managing director of acquisitions, in a statement published by Westfield. “The ability to get to Manhattan in 35 minutes on Metro-North was the primary driver in our decision to pursue this deal.”

At this stage of development, a construction timeline has not been released to the public.

  1. “The ability to get to Manhattan in 35 minutes on Metro-North”

    While technically not a lie, Google Maps shows 38 minutes only gets you to Harlem-125th Street, 49 minutes to get to Grand Central. Assuming any subway connection is at least 11 minutes extra, you’re looking over an hour commute.

  2. When will application be available can i requisite one now
