One of the shining examples of the progress and revitalization of downtown Yonkers is Sawyer Place, a luxury residential hub comprised of two waterfront towers along the Saw Mill River in Larkin Plaza, steps from the Yonkers Train station and the Hudson River walkway, and a new destination restaurant, Sea Fire Grill, on the Yonkers Pier.
Sawyer Place has embraced the live-work-play movement that is attracting residents, commuters, and empty nesters to the downtown waterfront, and offers several layouts and options in its 435 units with entrances on Main Street and another on Nepperhan Street.
Amenities include The Fitness Factory Health Club, letting residents work out without leaving the building. Residents have access to a rooftop lounge, movie theater, and a Five-Star Hospitality of Home experience. This experience blends luxury, comfort, community, innovation, hotel-level amenities, premium service, smart-home technology, and frequent resident events that keep the building lively.
Michael Maturo, President of RXR Realty, explains how the community has grown out of the downtown area’s revitalization efforts.
“Sawyer Place has quickly evolved into one of the most sought-after rental buildings in downtown Yonkers,” he says. “The property has witnessed tremendous leasing velocity from both residents moving within the surrounding county as well as from New York City. It continues to be a highly attractive rental option to both young professionals and families who have a desire to live in this rapidly expanding Yonkers neighborhood.”
Located just blocks from the Hudson waterfront, Sawyer Place features panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline, the Hudson River, and the Palisades. It’s also within a three-minute walk of the Yonkers Metro-North station, providing a seamless commute into Manhattan. For busy professionals looking to avoid high rents in big cities, it offers an affordable alternative.
Other amenities include 24/7 concierge service, a resident lounge, and on-site valet parking in a large, 533-space garage. Sawyer Place is close to five major highways. Residents have quick access to Westchester County, Fairfield County, and New York City.
Sawyer Place, developed by RXR Realty, is filling up fast. However, a few vacancies remain, including studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Starting rates range from $1,805 for a 472 sq. ft. studio to $3,159 for a 1,048 sq. ft. three-bedroom. Learn more or apply for free at https://www.sawyerplaceny.com/.
Editor’s Note: :Sawyer Place and the redevelopment and daylighting of the Saw Mill River in Larkin Plaza was envisioned by Nick Sprayregen, who invested in the area and purchased a number of properties, with the hopes that one day what RXR has created with Sawyer Place, and what the City created in the opening, or daylighting the Saw Mill River, would come to reality. Nick was the publisher of Yonkers Rising for a number of years, and we often remember his vision as we walk through the downtown waterfront.
