Arcadian Mall Re-Envisioning Report
Ossining, NY
BFJ Planning assisted Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.(“UBP”) to explore redevelopment options for the Arcadian Mall in Ossining, NY, a shopping plaza that is suffering high vacancy rates and uncertain future. The report begins with an analysis of the current status of the property, including a description of the surrounding neighborhood context, existing land use and zoning regulations, and identifies the challenges and opportunities that the property is facing when considering redevelopment. The report describes and graphically illustrates options for redevelopment that include a residential component as well as significant streetscape, connectivity and public space upgrades. The overall vision is to create the conditions for a mixed-use, “village within a village” community. Our work also included developing a community outreach strategy and conducting a preliminary analysis of traffic and fiscal impacts.
