WPCNR ODD LOTS. April 10, 2006: A spokesperson for Pulte Construction, would-be developers of 71 luxury condominiums at 10 Windsor Place told WPCNR today, the company "is not going to build it." Windsor Terrace was approved with much fanfare to a development group which included the builders of Clayton Park, which cleared the property (after site plan approval by the Council).The original developers sold the property  to Pulte Homes for $6 Million according to a The Journal News report, and now Pulte is pulling out and selling it again The Journal News reports.

Eyesore across from Eastview School:  10 Windsor Terrace joins the Hamilton Avenue and Church Street vacant lot (across from the site where Avalon Bay plans to build), as another White Plains lot in limbo. Projects approved for these two sites have been abandoned after Common Council approval. The Church and Hamilton lot has already been sold once, and now there is an uncomfirmed report that the new owner has sold it again. Photo, WPCNR

Ten Windsor Place becomes the second site plan approved by the Common Council in the last three years to stall out. The Hamilton project on Church and Barker has been sold once and now is reported up for sale again. The Journal News report said that Pulte Homes has a buyer for the property, based on a spokesperson's e-mail to a neighbor in the area, George Curtis.

Keith Eddings, the Journal News reporter, notes in his story today that Pulte is asking the Common Council to approval an extension of the site plan.

A lot with an approved site plan is more valuable and can fetch a higher price on the real estate market.

There is a third site plan that has been approved by the Council and extended three times that is the New York Presbyterian Hospital biotech/proton accelerator project, which is still awaiting a council decision as to whether to extend for a fourth time. Nothing has been done on that project for four years from the time it was approved in 2002.
