The Lincoln Park Development sets a new direction for the future of downtown New Rochelle and serves as an example of the transformative power of architecture to revitalize urban spaces and support community growth. The urban development is composed of four structures situated on the east and south sides of Lincoln Park. Three of the four structures are brand new: The Renaissance, an 11-story residential building that provides 179 units of best-in-class workforce housing, a multi-level public parking garage, and The Remington Boys & Girls Clubhouse. GF55 Architects designed the site plan for the Lincoln Park Development, The Renaissance residential building, and the Remington Boys & Girls Clubhouse.

The Renaissance is a 154,478 SF multifamily building that is part of the second phase of The Lincoln Park Development. The residential building offers affordable apartments to residents of mixed income levels. The design of the Renaissance introduces an elegant architectural language that is fresh and modern. Light gray colored stucco frames a grid of large windows. Buff colored brick is accented by champagne colored metal panels to form a second layer on the façade. This second layer steps up gradually on the east side of the building, then steps back down as it wraps around the southeast corner. The pattern generates movement while breaking up massing and connecting the building in scale to the existing Lincoln Towers located next door. The lobby and interior amenity spaces continue the exterior color palette of the building with rich textures and materials.

The brand-new Remington Boys & Girls Clubhouse was conceived to be the face of the entire development, an icon to attract interest. The playful design of the new structure replaces the former run-down Boys & Girls club. Humble materials such as standing seam metal roofing, multi-toned fiber cement board, bright blue corrugated metal panel accents, and double height glazing impart a visual liveliness that is appropriate for this institution. Fresh graphics and the unique shape of the building make it iconographic and identifiable. The Club has a core mission of serving the preteen and teenage community outside of school with expanded pathways for academic reinforcement, socialization, and athletics. Children and teens from the neighborhood have access to the 23,400 SF club with facilities including indoor basketball courts, a fully equipped gym, digital content studio, fine arts studio, STEM classrooms, teen lounges, multi-purpose social areas, meeting rooms, and offices.
