Greenburgh Considering Senior Housing Redevelopment

We are part of The Trust Project

According to Greenburgh Town Supervisor, the Greenburgh Housing Authority, along with a co-applicant, recently submitted a petition to create a new zoning district in the Town, which could facilitate the redevelopment of existing senior housing on Manhattan Avenue.

The proposal includes a new senior housing building and provides more affordable housing options for seniors with senior-oriented amenities at the location.

The new zoning district (M-SH, Multifamily Senior Housing) would be added to the Town’s Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance. If the M-SH District is added to the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance, the petitioner seeks to have a property located at Parcel ID: 7.410-228-9 (48, 50, 54, 56 and 58 Manhattan Avenue – P.O. White Plains), which contains 30 existing senior housing units, rezoned to the M-SH District for the purposes of permitting a proposal for an 82-unit senior housing (age 62-plus) development.

The subject property consists of approximately 113,691 sq. ft. (2.61 acres) and is situated on the west side of Manhattan Avenue at the intersection of Manhattan Avenue and Florence Avenue. The property is presently located in the UR Urban Renewal [Residential C – Housing for the Elderly] District and is designated on the tax map of the Town of Greenburgh as Parcel ID: 7.410-228-9.

The Greenburgh Housing Authority is developing temporary relocation plans for residents, should the project be approved and constructed. The project has been referred to the Greenburgh Planning Board for analysis and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
