FAQs
Below are responses to common questions shared with the development team regarding The Gatehouse. This page will be updated as additional inquiries are received — please check back often. Thank you for your continued feedback and interest in the project.
-
No. The number of units at this site was never 17. The original approval in 2006 included 20 townhomes. Over the course of its history, the project has undergone several amendments, each responding to updated market conditions and community input. Visit the History Page to learn more about the previous approvals and amendments that shaped the current proposal.
-
The proposed 4-story residential building includes 81 apartment units on a 2.1-acre lot, consistent with the Waterfront General Business District (WGBD) zoning standards.
This number reflects what is needed for the project to be financially viable and to meet the current housing demand in Tarrytown’s waterfront area.
It provides a mix of studios, 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms well suited for both Empty Nesters and Young Professionals, providing a more stable housing mix.
-
Market trends in the Hudson River communities indicate higher demand for smaller, maintenance-free apartments over large townhomes. The unit mix — studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms — provides diversity and flexibility for both individuals and couples seeking to live near transit and local amenities.

The decision to propose rental apartments reflects current market feasibility and financing conditions. This approach supports broader access to housing while allowing flexibility for young professionals and downsizing residents who prefer to rent rather than own.
-
The Gatehouse is envisioned for: (1) Young professionals and commuters who work in New York City or Westchester and seek high-quality housing near the train station. (2)Current Tarrytown residents looking to downsize while remaining in the community they love. The mix of unit sizes supports a wide range of household types without adding excessive density.
-
Parking for The Gatehouse will be located both within and beneath the building structure as well as in on-grade areas adjacent to the site.
The design provides a total of on-grade and structured spaces meeting Village requirements — including ADA-accessible spaces, covered bicycle storage, and electric vehicle charging stations. Importantly, the parking area is positioned along the southern edge of the property, creating a landscaped visual buffer between the new residential building and the adjacent Department of Public Works (DPW) site, helping to screen and soften views of that facility from residents and pedestrians.
-
The project includes significant local roadway and pedestrian upgrades, such as: Completion of E Street from Hudson View Way to Division Street, including new sidewalks and paving.
Improvements to Hudson View Way adjacent to the site for safer vehicular and pedestrian circulation. These upgrades will improve connectivity and safety in this part of the waterfront neighborhood.
-
The development will meet its own parking needs on site, including structured and surface spaces. Any shared or surplus parking would require coordination with the Village and Hudson Harbor management and could only occur through a future municipal approval.
-
Construction vehicles will access the site from Division Street, minimizing impact to Hudson View Way and the main residential drives.
The team will be exploring access directly from Division street behind the Brick Building and DPW yard.
-
While this proposal does not include the reopening of the Hudson Harbor clubhouse, pool, or gym, the development team supports efforts to explore reactivation of those amenities in coordination with the property owners’ association.
-
The team anticipates a positive impact on surrounding property values.
The new building will replace an underutilized lot with landscaped open areas, green roofs, and architecturally compatible design, enhancing the neighborhood character and appearance.
-
Approvals & Permitting: Approximately 12 months (subject to Village review).
