The Sale of the "Refinery District"

Following the 2025 closure of its historic Hudson River facility, American Sugar Refining is seeking a buyer for one of the largest remaining development parcels in the New York metropolitan area. The 33-acre site, now dubbed "The Refinery District," is being marketed by a high-level team from Cushman & Wakefield, including Managing Directors Ryan Dowd and Gary Gabriel. The listing marks a pivotal moment for the Yonkers waterfront, offering a "blank canvas" for a developer to shape a significant portion of the city’s skyline and economic future.

Strategic Zoning and Development Scale

The property’s primary appeal lies in its immense scale and recent rezoning, which permits a high-density, mixed-use transformation. According to marketing materials, the site can support:

Residential: More than 2,600 units.

Total Density: 2.6 million square feet of development.
