🆕 DEVELOPMENT| Transformation of the Ludlow Neighborhood into a Vibrant Mixed-Use Transit-Oriented Community
Ginsburg Development Companies (GDC) Founder and Principal Martin Ginsburg joined with Mayor Mike Spano and other city officials today for the groundbreaking of 70 Pier Street, a four-story multifamily building.
📌36-Unit Building is First of Two Projects by GDC to Transform Yonkers Ludlow Section
📌Both 70 Pier Street and 150 Downing Street are in the area covered by the city’s Ludlow Street Transit Oriented Development Plan designed to guide reviving the area.
📌This area of the City has not seen meaningful economic development and new construction in over 40 years.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a later part of the project, GDC will also undertake the revitalization of the existing public space known as Abe Cohen Plaza in cooperation with the City of Yonkers, which secured a $1.2 million grant from Empire State Development for improvements to the plaza and other streets near the Ludlow Metro-North Station. The newly revitalized plaza is planned to include new paving, landscaping, sidewalks, benches, lighting, an entrance arch, a new flagpole, a sculpture and a new clock tower.
