Debris from a defunct shopping center is being recycled into construction materials for one of the Hudson Valley”™s biggest construction projects.
Thalle Industries”™”¯Virtual Quarry in Elmsford is recycling remnants of the 50-year-old White Plains Mall, which was recently demolished, to make way for new mixed-use residential towers in the heart of White Plains.
Rather than ship the mall”™s rubble to remote landfills, the tons of debris from the massive demolition are being transported a short distance to the Virtual Quarry, where the debris”¯will be recycled into subbase to be used underneath asphalt roads at”¯Regeneron”™s $1.8 billion expansion project in Tarrytown, turning a faded mall into future pharma.
The former White Plains Mall will be replaced by Hamilton Green, a $600 million transit-oriented development at 200 Hamilton Ave. in White Plains. Hamilton Green is the latest project by the Cappelli Organization and its LRC Construction division.
Regeneron”™s”¯$1.8 billion expansion”¯will enlarge the company”™s research, preclinical manufacturing and support facilities in Tarrytown, creating 1,000 new full-time, high-skill jobs over five years.
