Long-delayed Ridge Hill opening nears
Westfair Online
by John Jordan
A project that will easily surpass $600 million to build when all is said and done is on the cusp of having its first tenant open for business and is readying for an October “mini” grand opening when dozens of tenants are expected to open their doors.
The Ridge Hill project in Yonkers, which will total approximately 1.2 million square feet of mixed-use space and is being developed by Forest City Ratner Cos., was approved by the Yonkers City Council in July 2006 and officially broke ground Nov. 28, 2007.
Since then, Forest City Ratner and general contractor Yonkers Contracting Company Inc. have been undertaking the massive excavation, infrastructure and building construction in connection with the project. Originally scheduled to open in late 2009, the project has encountered delays that have pushed the project’s opening to this October that will be followed by individual tenant openings that will be staggered throughout the remainder of this year and into 2012.
NoLandGrab: Must've been the Atlantic Yards lawsuits that caused those delays.
