A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to formally open Highgarden Tower, a 219-unit affordable housing apartment building at 11 Garden St. in New Rochelle. Highgarden Tower was developed by Georgica Green Ventures, LLC in collaboration with RXR, the master developer for New Rochelle’s downtown. The development includes 8,000 square feet of community incubator space contributed by the City of New Rochelle which will be used for programs to develop and expand small businesses.
EVP of RXR Development Services Joseph Graziose, Jr., said, “With its permanent affordability, location next to key transit and onsite social services, Highgarden Tower is a model for sustainable affordable housing development. Highgarden Tower not only substantially increases the number of quality affordable units in Westchester County, but also serves as an invaluable resource for the residents of New Rochelle.”
