Rendering, 53 Halstead Avenue - White Plains, NY

Harrison, NY Locally-based law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP has been integral in helping obtain local land use approvals to allow for the conversion of the former Harrison Beverage Center into multifamily housing.

53 Halstead LLC’s Special Exception Use application to convert the former Harrison Beverage Center at 53 Halstead Ave. into eight units of housing in two buildings has been approved by the Harrison Planning Board and Town Board.

The developers plan to improve the .35 acre site by converting the commercial beverage distribution center into four, three-bedroom apartments in two buildings with 13 parking spaces. A short walk to the Metro North train station as well as shops, restaurants, and other public transportation, the project is well-suited to young professionals and empty nesters.  The buildings will offer garage parking, as well as five lot spaces for visitors, landscaping, patio and outdoor recreation space.

“We are happy we were able to help our client achieve a positive result in making this project a reality,’’ said partner Steven Wrabel. “We believe the project will be a great benefit to the neighborhood as it will be an attractive, complementary addition to the street, and will be more environmentally sensitive than the current use.’’
