New Sustainably Designed High-Rise Now Leasing In Westchester

MOUNT VERNON, NY — A new 16-story building in Fleetwood is setting records for sustainable design, but it's the tower's unique amenities that are creating a buzz.

This week, the Alexander Development Group, The Bluestone Organization and J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives celebrated the launch of leasing for 42 Broad, the world’s largest market-rate multifamily high-rise to achieve Phius Passive House Design Certification. According to the developers, 42 Broad was built to meet the highest standard of sustainable design, and is one of the country’s most energy-efficient residential buildings, "bringing 249 modern residences and an amenity-driven lifestyle to Mount Vernon’s Fleetwood neighborhood."

The 16-story building’s eco-friendly lifestyle, spacious units, amenities and concierge services will provide an unprecedented living experience in Mount Vernon that is on par with upscale residential buildings in NYC, according to the developers.

"Fleetwood is one of the most attractive living destinations in Westchester County, and yet, there is a lack of for-rent luxury housing options that offer an expansive amenities package," Mark Alexander, co-founder and principal of the Alexander Development Group, said. "With 42 Broad, we saw an incredible opportunity to address this demand. We believe the homes will appeal to renters from all walks of life, including empty nesters looking to downsize and young professionals seeking more living space in close proximity to Manhattan."

Designed by global architecture firm Perkins Eastman, 42 Broad provides studio, one- and two-bedroom residences. The apartments have nine-foot ceilings with seven-foot panoramic windows, as well as Manhattan skyline views from select units.

The building also features several penthouses, which offer panoramic views, from the Long Island Sound to the Manhattan skyline and up the Hudson Valley to White Plains. These units also feature 10-foot ceilings and wrap-around terraces.

Residents will have access to over 20,000 square feet of building amenities, including a fully-equipped fitness center with a Pilates/exercise room; a heated, three-season pool with shaded pergolas; and a 17th-floor roof deck with outdoor kitchens, dining area and a fireplace. There is also a lobby lounge; a pub room with billiards and a kitchen; a library with a fireplace; a courtyard zen garden and a large community room. Hybrid employees will also be able to make use of 42 Broad's on-site coworking spaces and conference rooms.

A valet parking garage with covered parking, a secured package room, a pet grooming station, electric vehicle charging stations and bike storage are also available to residents.

Built to Phius (Passive House Institute US) standards, 42 Broad will use up to 80 percent less energy for heating and cooling than existing buildings through the use of high performance windows, extensive insulation, mechanical ventilation and high-tech building systems that drastically reduce the heating and cooling loads. In addition to creating more efficient homes, the Phius standards will ensure continuously providing filtered and tempered fresh air; dramatically lower utility bills and reduced sound transmission.

"With 42 Broad we have created a collection of forward-thinking residences that reflect our dedication to sustainable living and represents a truly unique offering in today’s crowded multifamily real estate market," Eric Bluestone, of The Bluestone Organization, said. "The upscale building’s combination of sustainable features and vast array of amenities sets it apart from other luxury properties in the area."

42 Broad is located three blocks away from the Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line. Residents are a 30-minute train ride away from Manhattan, a 15-minute drive to White Plains and a six-minute commute to Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville.

42 Broad’s concierge services are managed by Bozzuto’s award-winning, nationally recognized property management division and include a 24-hour concierge; a valet for parking and dry cleaning; a coffee bar, loaner bikes and curated resident events.

Ground-floor retail offerings will also be coming to 42 Broad later this year.

Pricing begins at $2,100 for a studio apartment. Find more information about 42 Broad here.
