[PAGE 4] State of Real Estate in 2019: Status quo shifts in Westchester market Akiko Matsuda, Rockland/Westchester Journal News Published 6:00 a.m. ET Jan. 23, 2019 | Updated 8:48 a.m. ET Jan. 27, 2019 As 2019 unfolds, lohud reporters are assessing what's ahead on their beats this year. Real estate reporter Akiko Matsuda looks at the state of real estate in Westchester County. The status quo is rapidly shifting in Westchester's land-use policy. New uses — from apartments to medical offices and even grocery stores — are breathing life into under-performing suburban office parks. In 2019, hundreds of new rental apartments are expected to come online in Westchester downtowns, including areas where residential use wasn't considered before. Industrial real estate, such as warehouses and flex spaces, was seen as a less glamorous sector among different types of commercial real estate, but lately it's the segment most in demand particularly in southern Westchester. On the beat Building an apartment complex in a former industrial or office park in Westchester didn't seem like an option until recently, but things have changed. Hundreds of tenants have moved into the 202-unit Danforth Apartments at Rivertowns Square, a newly-completed mixed-use village developed at the former Akzo Nobel paint and chemical company site in Dobbs Ferry. The mixed-use trend is also the redevelopment theme at the former General Motors assembly plant site in Sleepy Hollow. The ongoing waterfront project, to be known as Edge-on-Hudson, plans a total of 1,177 residential units, a hotel, restaurants, shops, offices and parks. The first townhomes may welcome residents in late 2019. Dramatic shifts are also happening elsewhere: In December, a Whole Foods market opened at Chappaqua Crossing, an ongoing mixed-use development at the former Reader's Digest campus in Chappaqua. More businesses are set to open this year, including Life Time Athletic and Pet Valu. Live-work-play Downtowns are also changing in pursuit of the live-work-play trend. Among the new major apartment buildings that welcomed tenants last year was the Continuum, a 16-story luxury, 288- unit apartment tower developed on a former municipal parking lot on Bank Street in White Plains. Its developer, LCOR, is moving forward with the second phase of the project to add another 16-story residential tower to the site. In Yonkers, tenants have started moving into the recently completed 17-story residential tower at Sawyer Place, formerly known as Larkin Plaza, a mixed-use, two-tower complex near the Yonkers train station. Construction of the second tower is set to be completed this summer, said Seth Pinsky, executive vice president with RXR Realty, the developer of the 422-unit mixed-use complex. New Rochelle's downtown revitalization initiative is also gaining steam. Nearly a dozen projects are in progress, including 360 Huguenot, RXR’s 28-story mixed-use building at the site of a [PAGE 5] former Loew’s Theatre. The 280-unit complex, initially known as 587 Main, is expected to start leasing in the first or second quarter of 2019. From Pleasantville to Dobbs Ferry, smaller downtowns along Metro-North train stations are also adding more apartments, aiming to attract empty nesters and young professionals who want to live in a walkable community near transit. While developers focus on building luxury apartments, demand for warehouse properties has been higher than ever as thriving e-commerce requires more warehouse spaces to quickly deliver goods to customers. E-commerce is disrupting the traditional retail landscape as well, leaving behind many vacant stores in area communities. Part of the solution may be repurposing — it's worked for obsolete office parks. Danone North America led the way by transforming the shuttered Fortunoff store in White Plains into its new headquarters. The company has recently moved its 400 employees from its old home in Greenburgh to downtown White Plains. What to watch for Platinum Mile: The appearance of Corporate Park Drive in the office-park corridor will be drastically changed this year, as construction of the Carraway apartment complex and a Wegmans grocery store advance. Plans for a pediatric ambulatory care facility for Montefiore Medical Center was also proposed along the same street. New apartments: Westchester's apartment construction boom is culminating into loads of new inventory. This year alone, hundreds of new rental units will become available for occupancy. In addition to 360 Huguenot in New Rochelle and Sawyer Place in Yonkers, the first 251-unit phase of Avalon Yonkers is expected to open later in 2019. Fort Hill Apartments, a 178-unit luxury rental complex that partially opened last year in a mixed-use community on the site of the former St. Mary's Convent in Peekskill, will also open more units this year. Housing market: The inventory shortage has been a major problem in the residential real estate market in the region in the past few years. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which capped state and local tax (SALT) deductions at $10,000, may encourage more empty nesters to put their homes on the market. Homeowners will feel the real financial impact of the tax reform when they file their tax returns this spring. Somers Academy: The former IBM campus in Somers, which has been sitting vacant for the past few years, may become a co-ed private high school that emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning. The plans to transform the former 723-acre office park have been reviewed by Somers town officials. The developer, Evergreen Ridge, aims to open the school in fall of 2020. Why you should care The ongoing wave of new apartment construction projects aims to serve two groups: Young professionals and empty nesters. The success of these apartments is important because it would help retain younger generations in the county, whose population has been steadily aging. In addition, new apartments may allow local empty nesters to put their homes on the market as they have more options to stay in their community.
