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