A new rendering has been unveiled for 260 North Avenue, a proposed 28-story residential tower in New Rochelle, Westchester County. Designed by Papp Architects for the 260 N LLC, the structure will yield 414 rental apartments in studio- to three-bedroom layouts. The project will also include a collection of amenities, a 432-vehicle parking garage, and nearly 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The 32,800-square-foot property is located at the corner of North Avenue and Huguenot Street.
The above main rendering previews the northern and eastern faces of the building from Huguenot Street, showing a rectangular massing with shallow stepped setbacks on the lower levels. The corner will feature a distinctive design beginning with a multi-story glass cylinder that will house a commissioned art installation. Above, the next eight stories feature a concave glass curtain wall. The remainder of the floors up to the roof will feature a beveled corner.
The façade will be composed of green-tinted floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded by a grid of Virginia black granite, with foamed aluminum paneling enclosing the ground floor. The building will also feature several recessed balconies and pocketed terraces.
The property is currently occupied by a 14,671-square-foot commercial structure, as seen in the below Google Street View image.

Citizens Bank, NA. currently owns the land and plans to occupy a portion of the tower’s retail space upon its completion. The remaining space will house a 4,000-square-foot restaurant.
Residential amenities will include an outdoor roof deck with a swimming pool, among additional offerings yet to be disclosed.
The property is located one block to the east of the New Rochelle train station, which is served by the Metro-North New Haven line and Amtrak’s Northeast Regional line.
260 North Avenue is expected to cost between $100 and $125 million. The developers are still awaiting approval from the city’s Planning Board, but are targeting a completion date around the end of 2027 or early 2028.

So if it costs $125 million and over 400 apartments are constructed average cost per apartment is approximately $300,000 . If it costs $100 million then average cost is $250,000. Would be interesting to see average size of each apartment..
More of a parking garage with some apartments.
Parking is a hot ticket item in New Rochelle, so much so that they are rewriting their building code in regards to it. No more valet/attended parking as it causes too much street congestion and many people have been complaining. Operating costs are also very high and owners haven’t been crazy about it. The preference is self parking, though they may have to revisit their zoning code also as this may result in more levels needed for a ramp system, thus resulting in higher street wall conditions.
Architects just made a complete mess of this one huh
How so?
Its hideous does that answer your question?
No
These construction costs are extremely low for NYC Metro. The city should be looking at projects like this to figure out how to make developments within NYC also more affordable.
You’ve answered your own question. Westchester County isn’t NYC.
interesting, the old building looks like a cool midcentury / googie design – if it’s original, im kinda surprised its not landmarked or something
I assume that the architect was trying to pay his respects to the existing buildings with the corner circle details….
Why destroy a classic iconic “mid-century” building with an interesting design ( so few of these are around) with a generic glass box building? The citizens building should have been preserved. The government in New Rochelle no nothing about history, architecture or city design.
