21-Story Tower in Development as Part of Downtown Revisioning in Mount Vernon, Westchester County

Alexander Development Group recently received approval on the site plan resolution for 140 East Prospect Avenue, a 21-story mixed-use tower in Mount Vernon, Westchester County. Perkins Eastman is responsible for the design of the transit-oriented construction, located one block north from the Mount Vernon East train station. Components of the 302,000-square-foot development include 350 rental units, 6,200 square feet of retail space with street frontage, and a garage with 226 parking spaces.

The approval by the planning board on June 4 was preceded by a city council approval in February 2025. The project is part of the Downtown Vision Plan, which was adopted by the City Council in January 2024 with the aim of revitalizing the downtown and updating zoning. Alexander Development Group is also responsible for the 42 Broad Fleetwood development in Mount Vernon, a 16-story, Passive House tower with 249 units that is more than 90 percent leased.

140 East Prospect Avenue will be built to the National Green Building Standard with the goal of a Gold designation. Passive House features include an airtight panelized exterior envelope system, electric recovery ventilation units working with air-sourced heat pumps to provide clean filtered and tempered air to each residence, Energy Star appliances, low VOC finishes, low flow fixtures, LED lighting, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Amenities will span 23,000 square feet and include multiple landscaped gardens and roof decks, a pub room with sun deck on the 21st floor, fitness center, library and business center, pool, pet spa, grooming station, package room, valet parking, and 24-hour concierge.

Renderings show the design of 140 East Prospect Avenue with brick, metal, and glass elements. The façade will consist of a modern panelized wall system, while still paying homage to the historic brick buildings in Downtown Mount Vernon.

Building design development is underway and construction is projected to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

MV has only built 2 highrises like this recently. They haven't been able to develop as much as their neighboring municipalities for whatever reason. (Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains)

Mount Vernon isn't as affluent as New Rochelle or Yonkers so it's not surprising that significant developments have lagged there.

This project looks really good btw.
