City Center at White Plains

City Center at White Plains is a large mixed-use development shopping complex in downtown White Plains, New York.[1] It features two 35-story apartment and condominium towers, known as Trump Tower at City Center, and 600,000-square-foot (60,000 m2) of retail, restaurant and entertainment space and new parking facilities known as Galleria at City Center. City Center's opening in 2003 was part of a new downtown building boom in the city which had experienced a hollowing out of its downtown core common to many cities in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, with high office vacancy rates and large drop in the number of commercial premises in the city. The economic growth in the New York City region and the wider national economy contributed to growth in both the commercial and office leasing markets in White Plains, helping to solidify the city's position as the dominant central place in the Westchester area. The City Center has also become a known spot where members of the New York Knicks hang out during their time off since their practice facility is in Greenburgh, New York, which is just 14 minutes away.
