Sales Office for Kensington Road Condominium Project to Open in September


By Carol P. Bartold


Jun. 17, 2015:  Excavation and environmental cleanup of the Kensington Road condominium development has progressed to the point that Gateway Development Group, Inc., has made plans to begin selling units after Labor Day.

At its June 8 meeting, the Bronxville Planning Board approved Gateway Development's application to open a sales office at 19 Park Place.

Neil DeLuca, Gateway representative, noted that the environmentally sensitive portion of the Kensington Road condominium development has been cleaned according to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. He added that rock removal has progressed sufficiently to enable the developer to prepare to file its application with the building department to begin building the piers for the parking garage.

"Ideally, the sales office needs to be in operation eighteen months before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the Kensington Road project," DeLuca said. "According to the construction schedule, that would bring us to about Labor Day."

DeLuca anticipates that demolition and build-outs in the 19 Park Place office would require six to seven weeks.

The office staff will consist of a receptionist, two or three salespeople, and two design professionals who will work with buyers to personalize the condominium units.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
