Join us for our January General Membership Meeting! Our topic will be:
“The Bold Vision of The District at Galleria: What’s Planned, What Comes Next, and How You Can Be Involved”
We’ll begin with informal networking and discussion at 5:00 PM.The main program will begin at 6:00 PM.
The Galleria mall in White Plains closed its doors in March. The iconic retail hub defined the downtown area for over four decades. But the plan for the reimagining and redevelopment of the site has the potential to transform the region in an even more profound way. BRI-member The Cappelli Organization has proposed a seven-building residential complex for the site, with nearly 50% green space, up to 3,200 apartments, including around 384 affordable housing units, a quarter-mile-long pedestrian promenade, pet playgrounds, grocery stores, restaurants, and local retail.
The proposal is in the very early stages of review by the White Plains Common Council, and there is plenty of baseball to be played, but could well be one of the most ambitious, exciting, and transformative projects in development in Westchester over the next decade. We’ll walk through what the proposal is today, how it may change over the coming months, and what it will take to break ground in the years to come.
