The zoning approval of a historic project leads this week’s roundup of suburban New York real estate news.

Largest economic development in Westchester history

In New York’s Westchester County, the Mount Pleasant Town Board unanimously approved zoning for a 3-million-square-foot science and technology center. Fareri Associates is developing the center, which is expected to cost $1.2 billion, making it the largest economic development project in county history.

The campus is expected to include shops, a hotel, a conference center, restaurants and public spaces across 60 acres of county-owned land leased by Fareri and 20 acres owned by the developer. The site is next to the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals complex.

Fareri is expected to submit a site-plan application to the town planning board early next year.
