The Engel Burman Group, developer of The Bristal at Armonk assisted living facility, donated $25,000 to replace the town of North Castle”™s landmark American eagle at the intersection of Routes 22 and 128.

Erected in 1976 for the nation”™s bicentennial, the 40-foot-long wooden eagle stood in disrepair until the Long Island-based developer stepped in to fund its replacement with an identical-looking raptor made of aluminum.

“One of the guiding principles of our company is to be an active and contributing member of the communities where we operate,” Jan Burman, president of The Engel Burman Group, said at a recent ceremony to mark the new eagle”™s landing at the gateway to the hamlet of Armonk. “When we learned about the need for restoring this historic landmark, we immediately decided this is something we should do.”
