Project: 44 Broad Street (Port Chester, NY)

A high-rise, mixed-use building that would contain 407,000 square feet with 286 apartments, 12,600 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and 267 parking spaces has been proposed for a collection of nine parcels across from the Metro-North Railroad station in Port Chester.

The developer, Broad Street Owner LLC, either owns or is the contract vendee for the nine parcels on Broad Street between Irving Avenue and a building occupied by Verizon. The developer is asking Port Chester’s board of trustees to create a zone in order to allow the project to happen. The address of the proposed building is 44 Broad St.

Attorney David Cooper of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz told the board at its Sept. 3 meeting that the developer would like to see a CD-6-T Train Station District created so that the project can move forward.

The developer’s proposed building would be 179 feet tall. It is asking that a new zoning district define what’s allowed to be built in terms of building height, rather than stories.

Cooper said the developer believes the project could serve as “the cornerstone of the village’s redevelopment effort in transit-oriented development in the downtown.” He said the developer believes the project is entirely consistent with the village’s vision for the area right next to the train station.

“It will have a population of about 500 residents in the building. There will be children that will be generated from a project like this,” he said, estimating that between six and 29 schoolchildren would be living there. Cleary pointed out, however, that the project hasn’t been designed as a particularly family-friendly project. “There aren’t playgrounds. There aren’t facilities for children necessarily, so while children aren’t prohibited, it’s not a family-friendly project. It’s a transit-oriented project in the hub of the village’s downtown, so it will attract a different clientele.”
