MdeAS Announces Completion of Two Clinton Park in New Rochelle, NY

Architecture Firm Led Design of RXR’s Newest Luxury Residential Development

(New York, N.Y., September 19, 2024) – MdeAS [em-dee-ay-es], a New York-based architecture firm celebrated for modern design and redefining districts, public spaces, buildings, and interiors, announces the opening of Two Clinton Park, a 403,000-SF, 28-story mixed-use tower in New Rochelle, NY. Developed by RXR, the building features 390 luxury residential units in a mix of studios to three-bedroom penthouses. Two Clinton Park also offers 7,500 square feet of ground floor retail space.

MdeAS was retained by ownership as the project’s design architect, responsible for master planning, exterior design, programming, and interior design of common spaces and apartments. Additional project team members include general contractor LRC Construction; structural engineer Tadjer-Cohen-Edelson; MEP engineer B2R Consulting Engineers; architect of record Lessard Design; and interior designer, Lisa Galano Design Consultancy (now known as studiocake).

Two Clinton Park is a sister building to RXR’s One Clinton Park. Also designed by MdeAS, the 28-story, 352-unit residential property opened in 2022. The two buildings are connected by Clinton Park Plaza, a public plaza to be enjoyed by residents and the community.

“We are immensely proud to announce the completion of Two Clinton Park, a unique residential offering by RXR in New Rochelle,” said Jeff Ellerbrock, a senior director at MdeAS who oversaw the project. “With its curved glass façade, the building tapers out at the end away from sister building One Clinton Park, almost as if the buildings are talking to each other across the plaza. It also offers a level of amenities unseen in the New Rochelle market.”

Two Clinton Park’s sleek exterior gives way to light-filled luxury apartments. With minimal metal detailing, the curved glass façade offers sweeping views of the Long Island Sound, Manhattan skyline, and the surrounding historic community. The expansiveness of the site allowed Two Clinton Park to be offset from, though adjacent to, One Clinton Park, leaving space for a public plaza between. The curvature of the two buildings redirects resident views to the water and surrounding landscapes instead of into neighbors’ apartments.

“With the building just one block from downtown New Rochelle’s Main Street, we wanted to ensure that, at the street level, the building was complementary to the masonry façade of Main Street’s low-rise historic buildings,” said Ellerbrock. “Using large format cut limestone, we were able to scale down the building’s two-story podium to make it feel as if it was part of Main Street and welcoming to residents.”

Apartments feature nine-foot ceilings framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, open kitchens with quartz countertops and backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, and walnut cabinetry featuring soft-close doors and drawers. Residents can also enjoy Bosch in-unit laundry and a selection of smart home features. Outdoor terraces are available in select units.

Two Clinton Park provides residents with nearly 24,000 square feet of amenity space across two floors and boasts 4,250 square feet of landscaped outdoor space on several floors. MdeAS programmed the robust amenity collection and worked with interior designer Lisa Galano to imagine flexible, comfortable spaces for the building’s residents. Amenity spaces feature walnut wood throughout in a variety of textures, while felt accents were thoughtfully placed to provide warmth and sound mitigation.

The third floor contains a Club Room and outdoor terrace and seating areas, spa, two multisport simulators and a putting green, game room, and bar and lounge area. On the ninth floor, residents can find two outdoor terraces, children’s playroom, fitness center and yoga studio, screening room, private dining room with chef’s kitchen, library, and co-working space. The building has 24/7 valet parking for residents and their guests.

Two Clinton Park is in the heart of downtown New Rochelle, among a number of shopping, dining and entertainment options, and a short drive to Hudson Park and the New Rochelle Metro North station.

In addition to One Clinton Park, Two Clinton Park, Hamilton Green, and Sawyer Place for RXR, MdeAS has provided design services for several other residential buildings in the New York region, including One Wall Street for Macklowe Properties, and The Archive, Linc LIC and Lyra for Rockrose Development.
