Modern History
At the beginning of the 20th century, White Plains' downtown area to
develop a dominant suburban shopping district and featured branch stores
of many famous New York-based department and specialty stores. Some of
these retail locations were the first large scale suburban stores built
in America, and ushered in after the end of World War II growth of the
building. Along with the construction, Parkway and express the 1940 and
1960, White Plains role of a destination retail location was only
enhanced., some of these early stores were such storied names as B.
Altman & Co. Rogers Peet, Saks Fifth Avenue, Alexander's, Macy's,
Wallach, and a short branch of Bergdorf Goodman, which was later
converted to sister chain, Neiman Marcus, 1981.
During the late 1960s, the city White Plains caused extensive urban
renewal plan for residential, commercial and mixed-use redevelopment
that effectively called for the demolition of its entire central
business district from the Bronx River Parkway east to Mamaroneck
Avenue. By 1978, a massive urban renewal program centered around the
construction, Westchester County Courthouse (1974), the West One office
building (1975), the Galleria at White Plains Mall (1978), and several
other office towers, retail centers and smaller commercial buildings.
One generation, the original village-like character of the changes in
Downtown White Plains is becoming one of the first American and the most
dynamic edge cities.
At the same time, its construction, the West was one of the largest
office building between New York City and Albany, and east to Hartford.
Since the 1950s, several large companies, located in New York City
relocated all or part of its operations headquarters in White Plains and
other nearby places. These were General Foods, PepsiCo, Hitachi USA,
IBM, Nestle, Snapple and Heineken USA. At the height of 1980 at least 50
Fortune 500 companies named Westchester County and nearby Fairfield
County, CT home, but with the corporate mergers and acquisitions in the
1990s which has resulted in many of these companies did not reduce their
activities in White Plains or left the area completely.
At the Arts Exchange Building, the headquarters of the West Arts
Council, artists, emerging cultural organizations and new creative
businesses are developing and flourishing. As of March 1999, this
vibrant community resource that is currently entered in the National
Register of Historic Places, has served the artist as a Venue for
exhibition and performance, class, conference center, banquet hall house
film proud symbol of revitalization and Downtown White Plains.
The construction of the Galleria at White Plains Mall in 1970 ushered in
a new era of downtown retail and office development, but in the early
1990s, economic development was stopped, will prevent a deep recession
and the overbuilding commercial real estate markets. For some time,
White Plains was a dubious distinction as one of the highest office
vacancy rates in the north-east. Consolidation in the retail industry
led to the closing of many downtown's original department and specialty
stores as well. After the bankruptcy, B. Altman store closed in 1989 and
was eventually demolished to make the massive upscale retail mall, The
West, which opened in 1995 anchors Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. A
freestanding branch of Macy's, one of the original downtown retail
anchors, was more than two blocks from The Galleria Mall, its parent
company Federated Department stores, replacing the position of sister
retailer, Abraham & Straus when these two store divisions were merged in
1995. At the beginning of 2002, Saks Fifth Avenue location was also
closed and demolished, it was replaced in 2004 with a large retail
complex called Source at White Plains, featuring high-end jewelery and
home trade Fortunoff's, and local outlets of the upscale restaurants,
Morton's of Chicago, The Cheescake Factory, and gourmet supermarket
chain Whole Foods Markets.
Other major projects were completed at the end of the 1990s and early
2000, which is even more significant change in the nature of the city
Downtown White Plains. A new courthouse for the Southern District of New
York opened in 1998 and several large scale office properties and almost
center, including the former General Foods headquarters building,
retrofitting, and had been rented to accommodate small businesses. The
landmark Macy's store on Main Street remained outstanding for several
years until it was later demolished to make the massive City Center
White Plains complex. This is a large mixed-use development features two
35-story apartment and condominium towers, 600,000-square-foot (60,000
m) in the retail, restaurant and entertainment space and new parking
facilities. Aside from the Arts Exchange building (which was a bank),
another bank next to the city center was renovated to Zanaro's, a
West-award-winning Italian restaurant. City Center opened in 2003 marked
the beginning of a new downtown development renaissance, and the
improving economy and healthy office leasing activity, White Plains
entered the new millennium is the leading retail and office center of
West County.
White Plains is known throughout the West County bar scene. Mamaroneck
Avenue and East Post Road are home to several highly trafficked watering
holes, including the Black Bear cabin, Lazy Boy Tavern, and Thirsty
turtle.
In 2005, construction began on the second major center of the plot area.
The project, dubbed Renaissance Square, which has two residential and
hotel towers, each 40 stories tall, featuring a luxury Ritz-Carlton
hotel and more than 400 condominium units. The expected opening date of
the first tower is early 2008 when the White Plains once again boast the
highest achievement of New York and Albany. (This is under construction
in the possession of the title of a 39-story Trump Plaza in nearby New
Rochelle, which in 2006 exceeded the White Plains' 35-story Trump Tower,
which was completed in 2005.)
Since 2000, the permanent population of the city experienced growth
spurt as additional apartment buildings were built. Infusion of urban
professionals, drawn by the city is relatively modest housing costs and
close commuting distance from Midtown Manhattan (35 minutes express
train) gave the city cosmopolitan atmosphere. However, in large part
because of the proximity of New York, the cost of living in White
Plains, although lower than in New York City itself there are some
measures one of the highest in the world.
