Westchester’s “Mall Knocker-Downer” Is Key to Region’s Revitalization

Architect’s rendering of District Galleria project in Downtown White Plains

Louis Cappelli, a veteran developer with decades of experience reshaping Westchester County, has recently embraced the moniker “the Mall Knocker-Downer,” a testament to his current ambitious projects focused on revitalizing urban centers. As the founder of BCW Member Cappelli Organization, his extensive work in New Rochelle and White Plains, including landmark developments like New Roc City and City Center, has profoundly influenced the region’s landscape.

As detailed in an in-depth article that appeared this week in the Spotlight on Westchester section of Crain’s New York Business, Cappelli’s present focus involves transforming outdated shopping malls in White Plains into modern, mixed-use developments, exemplified by the recently opened Hamilton Green on the former White Plains Mall site and his plans for the Galleria Mall. Cappelli, who is a member of the BCW’s Smart Development Working Group, foresees White Plains serving as a strategic overflow market for New York City businesses, emphasizing the city’s accessibility and more competitive pricing, all while viewing each building as a unique work of art.
