Retail
Design Development was retained to convert the former Yonkers Library into a mixed-use retail and market-rate housing project. The library (former department store) was built at the turn of the century and served the citizens of Yonkers for decades. In the early 70’s the department store was converted to a library and the facade was modernized to reflect the times. After a state-of-the-art library was constructed down the block, the building housed various commercial uses until finally abandoned. DD restored the facade, including new proposed retail storefronts gutting the interior to accommodate the new uses.
