Construction of Hudson Piers, a US$ 585M mixed-use development that will have a mix of market-rate housing, affordable apartments, and retail space has begun. The project is developed by Extell Development on an area of 17.4-acre on the Hudson River waterfront in Yonkers, next to the Yonkers Metro-North station, which provides direct access to Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal.
The project, which is set to be carried out in phases over a six-year period, will enhance a vast stretch of land along the Hudson Riverfront, including Alexander Street, Water Grant Street, and Babcock Place.
