Building Trades Secure $900M+ with Expansion At Two Major Projects for White Plains Hospital
By JOHN JORDAN
WHITE PLAINS—The building trades in Westchester County are seeing considerable project work along East Post Road here—to the tune of more than $900 million in connection with the ongoing expansion of White Plains Hospital.
On May 27, the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency approved incentives of nearly $2.8 million to a subsidiary of developer the Cappelli Organization of White Plains for a $161.3-million project to build a new 1,950-space parking facility on East Post Road here that will support the major expansion currently underway by White Plains Hospital.
Earlier last month, Construction Manager Suffolk Construction held a topping off ceremony for White Plains Hospital’s ongoing $750-million project, a 475,000/sf expansion of the existing hospital space, which broke ground on May 5, 2025. That project is being performed under a project labor agreement (PLA) with the building trades.
The Westchester County IDA Board approved LC Post Road Garage LLC’s request for a sales tax exemption of $2,168,668, and a mortgage recording tax exemption of $600,000. The total assistance for the garage project from the IDA is $2,768,790 The project is located on multiple lots on East Post Road and a portion of Brookfield Street. According to the Westchester County IDA, the Cappelli Organization intends to enter into a Project Labor Agreement with the Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council. Representatives of the building trades confirmed to CONSTRUCTION NEWS that negotiations were underway on a PLA for the White Plains Hospital parking garage project.
The site is currently comprised of multiple vacant buildings that will be demolished to make way for the construction. The site includes parcels with known environmental contamination subject to NYSDEC oversight and will be remediated through a Brownfield Cleanup Agreement.
It is estimated the project will create 229 construction jobs and six full-time jobs for Westchester County residents. The new parking facility will be leased to the hospital to serve its staff, patients and visitors with up to 180 spaces reserved for residents of the White Plains Housing Authority’s Brookfield Commons.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “As White Plains continues its vibrant transformation into a premier urban center, our infrastructure must keep pace with our growth. By expanding capacity, we are ensuring that as our downtown population rises, our healthcare anchors remain accessible and efficient.”
White Plains Hospital President & CEO Susan Fox said of the IDA’s actions: “As White Plains Hospital continues to grow and advance services for our community, parking is a critical component to accessing high quality care. We are grateful for the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency’s support of this new parking facility as it is an essential part of our long-term vision. With our transformational expansion opening in 2028, this facility will allow us to meet the needs of our patients, and importantly our workforce, as we proceed with building new private patient rooms, an expanded Emergency Department, and new state-of-the-art operating rooms for our community.”
