YONKERS—The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency reported on March 13 that it ended 2024 with another record year, following a robust 2023. The YIDA voted for the preliminary and final approval of financial incentives for residential projects representing a total private investment of approximately $1 billion. The developments are projected to create approximately 2,100 new residential units and approximately 2,400 construction jobs.
Since 2019, the Yonkers IDA has voted financial incentives for development projects representing a total private investment of approximately $3.6 billion. The developments are projected to create over 7,500 new residential units and more than 8,800 construction jobs. Ten percent of all new residential units are set aside for affordable housing.
“2024 was another tremendous year for the continued redevelopment of Yonkers, with nearly $1 billion in private investment,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, who also serves as YIDA Chair. “This extraordinary investment in our city is creating thousands of construction jobs as well as new housing units, both market rate and affordable. We are looking to build on the momentum of 2024 with another record year of success in 2025.”
