The owners of a Westchester County mall are teaming up with prominent real estate players to turn the site into a mixed-use residential and commercial development. 

The owners of The Galleria at White Plains located at 100 Main St. (Route 119), Pacific Retail Capital Partners (PRCP) and Aareal Bank, are teaming up with real estate developers SL Green Realty Corp. and the Cappelli Organization to transform the mall, according to an announcement by PRCP from Thursday, Nov. 3. 

The 870,000-square-foot Galleria opened in 1980 in downtown White Plains and is near a major mass transit hub for the Metro-North railroad, according to PRCP officials.

“This is one of the most exciting mixed-use development sites in the New York Metro Area,“ PRCP Chief Executive Officer Steve Plenge said. 

Plenge said that the Macy’s and former Sears properties at the mall have been purchased by PRCP, and that the site would be turned into “a vibrant mixed-use project that will be centered on residential development and amenity-based retail.”

Downtown White Plains has seen much development in the last decade, including many high-rise residential towers as well as the ongoing project to redevelop the White Plains Mall into Hamilton Green, another mixed-use project that is being overseen by the Cappelli Organization, PRCP officials said. 

Plenge said portions of The Galleria would close in early 2023 to allow for the construction of the redevelopment. 

“The Galleria at White Plains is an important property in Westchester County and the region. With our experienced real estate partners, the new masterplan and design will build upon the remarkable renaissance under way in Downtown White Plains,” Plenge said.

PRCP and Aareal Bank form JV with SL Green & The Cappelli Org.

White Plains, NY Pacific Retail Capital Partners (PRCP) and Aareal Bank, owner of The Galleria at White Plains, have formed a new joint venture partnership with SL Green Realty Corp. and the Cappelli Organization.

The Galleria, which opened in 1980, consists of approximately ten acres located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone next to a mass transit hub of Metro-North. The area over the last decade has seen a near complete transformation. High-rise residential towers have already drawn thousands of new residents. The 870,000 s/f mall has become a focal point in completing the reimagination of downtown.

“This is one of the most exciting mixed-use development sites in the New York Metro Area,“ said Steve Plenge, CEO of PRCP. “We have worked over the past few years to acquire the Macy’s fee interest at the site, along with the leasehold interest of the former Sears. Working with our new partners, we will reimagine the site as a vibrant mixed-use project that will be centered on residential development and amenity-based retail.

PRCP, together with its new partners, is dedicated to creating a unique and strategic vision through master planning efforts and design for the Galleria at White Plains to transform it for the next generation.

The two new partners bring local multi-family and office experience to the partnership. SL Green is one of the largest owners of office real estate in New York City and Westchester County. The Cappelli Organization has been involved with numerous residential, office and retail development projects in greater Westchester County. 

“We are extremely pleased for the opportunity to join with SL Green, Aareal Bank Group and Pacific Retail Capital Partners in the redevelopment of The Galleria site,” said Louis Cappelli, CEO of the Cappelli Organization. “The reimagining of this property is integral to the dramatic transformation of downtown White Plains that is well underway. We are fortunate to be able to play a role in recreating the property with mixed uses which will link the city’s transit center with the Mamaroneck Avenue corridor. The Galleria redevelopment comes as our company, is beginning the redevelopment of the former White Plains Mall property into Hamilton Green, also a mixed-use project. Together, the two major projects will effectively complete the transformation of the downtown that began as an Urban Renewal project more than 50 years ago.”

“The Galleria at White Plains is an important property in Westchester County and the region. With our experienced real estate partners, the new masterplan and design will build upon the remarkable renaissance under way in Downtown White Plains,” said Plenge. “The existing Galleria White Plains has been a community staple for many years. We anticipate closing a portion of the mall in early 2023 to evolve the asset and rebalance the mix of uses through a transformative development to meet the needs of the next generation.” Plenge added.
