AMS Yonkers Downtown Development

AMS Acquisitions is bringing more than 3,500 residential units in nine buildings to three sites in Yonkers.

In November 2022, the City of Yonkers Planning Board unanimously approved the Statement of Findings for a Downtown Yonkers mixed-use development, concluding the State Environmental Quality Review Act process led by AKRF. We prepared the SEQRA Environmental Impact Statement; drafted zoning text and map amendments; and conducted transportation, air quality, noise, shadow, and other technical analyses.

The Proposed Action requires amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to permit increased building heights and reduced parking requirements, as well as amendments to two different Urban Renewal Plans and a Downtown Master Plan. The project is being planned by S9 Architecture.
