WPCNR Mamaroneck Avenue Observer. April 28, 2004: The former Woolworth store, vacant for a number of years, has a leasing sign up on it,  owned by Silverman Realty Group, is advertising for potential lessors. However, Downtown Crossing, the development being advertised has not been designed or approved yet by the Common Council. Asked to comment on this, Paul Wood, City Economic Development Director, said it was not unusual for organizations to offer speculative leases. Executives of Kids City had presened a concept for a Kids City childrens activity center for the site last month, but no formal site plans have been detailed publicly  for the new Kids City version of the project.

APPROVAL TO COME: The speculative development that has yet to formally be presented to the Common Council for approval, which has not been shown detailed site plans, is advertising for prospective tenants. The banner reads "Downtown Crossing Now Leasing, White Plains Newest Development." Photo by WPCNR News.
