A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the formal opening of Hudson 44, a 27-story building at 44 Hudson St., in Yonkers developed by Azorim. Billed as the tallest building in Yonkers right now at 301 feet, the structure has 250 units in a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Twenty-five of the units are priced as affordable housing. There is retail space of more than 1,900 square feet on the ground floor.
The building features a 252-space garage. Residential amenities include a sky lounge with panoramic views of the Hudson River, a state-of-the-art fitness center, rooftop swimming pool, rooftop deck, and a business lounge.
The cost of the project had been projected to be $133.5 million. The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency granted final approval of financial incentives for the project including a $5.8 million sales tax exemption, a mortgage recording tax exemption of $1.3 million and a 20-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement.
“The opening of 44 Hudson Street represents the continued transformation of Yonkers into a vibrant, modern city where people want to live, work, and invest,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “This new luxury residential building strengthens our downtown, reimagines our skyline and brings new energy to the waterfront. We thank Azorim for its continued commitment to smart growth and investment in our Yonkers community.”
According to Azorim Chairman Hershey Friedman, “Hudson 44 is the first of our projects in the downtown Yonkers area. We believe that this tower will contribute to Yonkers’ growing vibrancy as a great place to live.”
Yonkers City Council President Lakisha Collins-Bellamy noted that the building has changed the Yonkers skyline.
“As the tallest building in our city, it stands as a powerful symbol of progress, vision, and the continued evolution of our downtown,” Collins-Bellamy said. “This milestone reflects the hard work, partnership, and forward-thinking investment that are helping Yonkers grow.”
