The remarkable renaissance under way in the ever-changing skyline of Downtown White Plains got another big boost as senior executives of BCW Members Cappelli Organization and RXR along with Korman Communities joined with County and City officials on August 26 to celebrate the topping out of AVE Hamilton Green, a $650 million mall-to-housing conversion project that is transforming the former site of the White Plains Mall into a state-of-the-art, mixed-use residential development. Cappelli and RXR are members of the BCW’s Smart Growth Working Coalition.
To the soaring sounds of the National Anthem, a “topping out” ceremony signifying the completion of the final floor of the building was held with officials and several hundred construction workers cheering as a 30×60-foot American flag was unfurled from the two-tower development. Among the VIPs attending the topping out event was BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz.
“The Cappelli Organization is pleased to join with our development partners and our partners from the City of White Plains and Westchester County, as we celebrate the reimagination of this key property in the heart of downtown,” said Louis R. Cappelli, President of the Cappelli Organization.
Joseph Graziose, Executive Vice President of Development Services at RXR, said “This project reflects RXR’s commitment to creating vibrant, sustainable communities while providing world-class residential services. This achievement would not have been possible without the longstanding partnership and collaboration we’ve built with the Cappelli Organization and LRC Construction.”
AVE Hamilton Green will feature a variety of floor plans ranging from studio, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom to unique bi-level loft and penthouse layouts, including fully furnished apartments with flexible lease options for stays of 30 days or longer. Apartments are designed with contemporary, premium features including floor-to-ceiling windows equipped with View Glass, a dynamic smart glass transitioning technology that delivers optimal natural light throughout the day offering sweeping views of the region; stainless steel appliances; quartz countertops and backsplashes; walk-in closets; and durable, wood-inspired vinyl plank flooring.

It features two residential buildings: 25 Cottage, a 12-story, 170-unit building and 5 Cottage, a 26-story, 307-unit tower. 55,000 square feet of open space and 39,000 square feet of commercial space.
