Ginsburg Development Cos. on Tuesday unveiled the latest in its brand of luxury rental apartment buildings with the River Tides at Greystone complex in Yonkers.

Martin Ginsburg, the Valhalla-based developer was joined by county and city officials at a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the $100 million, 330-unit luxury rental building at 1133 Warburton Ave. Some construction work, however, remains to be done on the complex’s two 10-story towers. The building is expected to open for occupancy in June.

“In this case, we really had a lot of practice, because we”™ve owned this property since the 1970s,” Ginsburg said, “and we went through at least three or four or five design plans, and if practice makes perfect, we should be perfect.”

Ginsburg Development broke ground on the project, near the city border with Hastings-on-Hudson and overlooking the Greystone Metro-North train station and Hudson River, nearly three years ago.

“The south building still has to be completed,” he said, adding that a number of amenities, including a swimming pool, spa, demonstration kitchen, cafe, game room and outdoor pavilion, are still under construction.

Monthly rents begin at $1,925 for a studio, $2,425 for a one-bedroom, $2,995 for a two bedroom and up to $6,000 for a corner penthouse.
Apartments feature stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, bay windows and terraces. The transit-oriented development features a direct walkway to the Greystone Metro-North station platform.

“I always feel my next project is my best, so we think this is our current best,” Ginsburg said.

The developer said his company looks forward to completing other projects in Yonkers, a city he referred to as his “home base.” Just north of River Tides at Greystone, Ginsburg Development plans to open a $21 million, 55-unit apartment building, 1177@Greystone, later this fall.

“We feel very positively that Yonkers is moving in a very strong and positive direction, and I think it”™s going to become a special place on the Hudson River,” he said. “It is special now, but it”™s going to be even more special in the future, and we”™re thrilled to play our little part in that.”

“River Tides is a shining example of the great things that we”™re seeing blossom in our city of Yonkers,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano.

The project marks Ginsburg”™s third luxury rental development to open in Westchester in the past year. In September, the company opened The Lofts on Saw Mill River, a 66-unit apartment complex on Route 9A in Hastings-on-Hudson. Hudson Square, a $65 million, 188-unit complex on the Ossining riverfront, opened in June.
Earlier this year, the development company paid $35.25 million for a 124-unit luxury apartment tower at 34 S. Lexington Ave. in White Plains, which it later rebranded as The Metro.

Ginsburg Development will soon break ground on Fort Hill, a mixed-use development in Peekskill that will include rental apartments and a restaurant on the former St. Mary”™s Convent property.
