Site plan approval has been granted for Pratt Landing, a mixed-use waterfront development in New Rochelle located along the Long Island Sound. Developed in a collaborative effort between Twining Properties, the City of New Rochelle, and the State of New York, the project will convert a former industrial brownfield into a community hub with over 300 residential units and 99 condominiums. Project work will include the restoration of the historic New Rochelle Naval Armory, which when restored will feature housing reserved for veterans. Construction on the project is scheduled to commence in 2026 and is expected to complete in 2029.

The City of New Rochelle has approved plans for a walkable community that is expected to reconnect downtown New Rochelle to its waterfront.

Work on Winchester Green, a planned mixed-income and mixed-use development in New Haven’s Science Park, will begin in the new year as the development team announced it has secured funding.

Winchester Partners, a joint venture of Twining Properties and LMXD, a national mixed-income developer, is building the $90 million Winchester Green development – a five-story building that will host 283 mixed-income apartments on an underutilized surface parking lot. The project will include 57 affordable units and 12,800 square feet of retail space.

Developers won permission to build 287 new apartments, two new privately owned streets, and a new public plaza — continuing the transformation of the former Winchester Arms factory complex into a research, residential, and shopping hub.

In its heyday, the former Winchester Repeating Arms factory was a bustling hub of economic activity for New Haven’s Newhallville and Dixwell neighborhoods, at one time drawing some 25,000 people a day into the area to work for the legendary rifle maker.

New York developer Alex Twining has big dreams of restoring the abandoned factory site and surrounding area to its former glory, making it a place where people will want to live, work, dine and shop.

Hundreds of new apartments. Tens of thousands of square feet of office and lab space. Ground-floor retail up and down Winchester Avenue.

Science Park’s redevelopers unveiled those plans to Dixwell and Newhallville neighbors as they prepare to embark on the next stage of turning the former Winchester Arms factory complex into a research, residential, and shopping hub.
