BFJ Planning was retained by Alexander Development Group (ADG) to support the creation of the Mount Vernon East TOD High-Density District (TOD-1 District). The TOD-1 District facilitates ADG’s proposed redevelopment in downtown Mount Vernon: a 21-story mixed-use building accommodating up to 350 market rate dwelling units, approximately 7,000 square feet of retail space, and 201 parking spaces.

Located near the Mount Vernon East Metro-North station and adjacent to both commercial and residential uses, this area was identified by the City of Mount Vernon as an ideal location for “high density” development in its 2024 Downtown Vision Report. BFJ collaborated with ADG and the City to draft the TOD-1 District – a mixed-use district that will promote high-density housing and commercial development in close proximity to public transit. BFJ also coordinated and prepared related SEQR documentation, including the Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1.
