The New Rochelle City Council unanimously approved a new zoning plan that paves the way for the most significant economic rebirth in the city’s historic downtown. The adoption of the Downtown Overlay Zone and Community Benefits Policy concludes an intensive year-long research, planning and community outreach process, led by the city of New Rochelle and its designated Master Developer for Downtown, RDRXR. The new zoning plan has already attracted many new development projects, with many more in the pipeline for approval. RXR’s $120 million, 280 unit residential project is already under construction on a centrally located site, and many other development projects are in the approvals pipeline.
