YONKERS—The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency reports that it provided financial incentives in 2021 to residential and commercial projects representing a total private investment of more than $508 million. The developments are projected to create 1,009 new residential units and more than 1,739 construction jobs.
Since 2019, the Yonkers IDA has provided financial incentives to development projects representing a total private investment of approximately $1.48 billion. The developments are projected to create approximately 3,259 new residential units and approximately 3,365 construction, full-time and part-time jobs. A total of 10% of all new residential units are set aside for affordable housing.
“2021 was another banner year for the ongoing redevelopment of Yonkers,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, who serves as YIDA Chair. “Our successes are paving the way for more long-term interest and investment in our city, all within a diverse landscape of properties—proving Yonkers is the place to live, work and play. We look forward to more opportunities in 2022.”
The Yonkers IDA finished 2021 with final approval of financial incentives for the $60-million Phase 2 expansion of Lionsgate’s motion picture studio complex at iPark on the Yonkers waterfront. The expansion involves Buildings 3, 4 and 5 as well as the remaining surface lots and private roads at the iPark site.
Lionsgate will use the expansion for additional studio space, support services and additional parking. In 2020, the Yonkers IDA approved financial incentives for the $60-million Phase 1 of the project. Both phases of the project represent a total private investment of $120 million and are expected to create between 265-420 full- and part-time jobs. A total of 400 construction jobs is projected to be created.
