back to top West End 2000, the NRNRC’s most ambitious project to date, is a combination of town houses and affordable assisted living for senior citizens. This $40 million multi-phase redevelopment program is the largest affordable housing development in the history of the City of New Rochelle, and one of the most far-reaching models in the region. West End 2000 contains 168 new housing units for seniors and first-time home-buyers; 102 units of assisted living senior housing, and 66 single family town houses. This new development located in west New Rochelle is visually and physically integrated into the community, retaining the character of the neighborhood with inviting front porches, front and rear yards, landscaped grounds and off-street parking. West End 200 combines, successfully, urban renewal activity and affordable housing development. It strategically partners NRNRC with the City of New Rochelle. Families who are relocated from the deteriorated homes will be able to come back as first time home buyers of a new 1,300 S.F. duplex town home.

Phase I consists of construction of a seven story, 102 unit affordable assisted living senior building and up to 20 1,300 sq. ft. duplex town houses. Phase II and III will continue town home development, 20 units in each phase, and Phase IV will consist of an addition to the senior building or an affordable rental building.

The design team will be comprised of Herbert S. Newman and Partners (site plan and town homes), Perkins Eastman (senior building), Lehrer McGovern Bovis as construction manager for the senior building, and Calgi Construction Co., Inc., G. C. for town homes. A public/private partnership was forged between the City of New Rochelle and NRNRC in a twofold manner. First, the City has declared the development site an urban renewal area and second, Federal HOME Funds and McKinney Act Funds from a senior building refinancing have been committed to West End 2000. More than 2.8 million dollars in HOME Funds, 1.3 million dollars in McKinney Act Funds, 4.98 million dollars in County bond funds and a 4.59 million dollar HUD Special Grant has been committed to the development. These funds will be used for acquisition, relocation, demolition, hard and soft costs. West End 2000 will abate the ongoing deterioration in this aged, blighted neighborhood and it will stimulate its economic revitalization. Housing will be provided to first time home buyers and senior citizens, the two most needy population groups in terms of cost of shelter.
