River Park Center

August 24, 2008 - 11:53am — Robin Smith
River Park Center, Yonkers, NY
Project Overview: 
McLaren is providing site/civil, structural and bridge design/engineering services for this major redevelopment project on the Yonkers waterfront of the Hudson River. Located in the Gateway District of Yonkers, the River Park Center project encompasses the site informally known as “Chicken Island." When completed, River Park Center will be a more than two million square foot mixed-used complex that includes retail, residential, hotel, office and entertainment space, anchored by a new minor league baseball stadium.
McLaren's Role: 
In what is one of the most significant aspects of the development, McLaren has undertaken improvements to provide public access to the Saw Mill River that have included daylighting and re-alignment of approximately 1,300 linear feet between Elm Street and Palisade Avenue. McLaren is also developing the site plans for the City of Yonkers’ Preliminary Site Plan Approval for the Super Block bounded by Nepperhan Avenue, New Main Street, Palisade Avenue and Elm Street. The Super Block is the project’s centerpiece and will include over a dozen buildings accommodating retail, residential, and recreation facilities.
