The Real Deal New York

From the February issue: Forest City Ratner is practically a household name in the city because of its controversial Atlantic Yards project, which is set to remake a massive swath of Brooklyn. But a short distance north, in Westchester County, the developer has another contentious project—one that is several steps ahead of its Brooklyn development. Four miles from the Bronx border, Ridge Hill Village will be the largest development project in Yonkers history—just as Atlantic Yards will be for Brooklyn. The mixed-use complex is projected to cost $630 million. After five years of fierce opposition and legal challenges, the company held a ceremonial groundbreaking on the site in November, and construction is now in full swing.
