City Center at White Plains is a large mixed-use development shopping complex in downtown White Plains, New York.^[2]

Features

It features two 35-story apartment and condominium towers, known as The Tower at City Place, 600,000-square-foot (60,000 m²) of retail, restaurants, entertainment space and parking facilities. It also includes the White Plains Performing Arts Center. A 15-screen cinema operated by National Amusements as Showcase Cinema de Lux previously occupied the building before its initial closure in October 2023.^[3] The theater is due to reopen under Apple Cinemas in May 2024.^[4]

Opening and purpose

City Center's opening in 2003 was part of a redevelopment scheme to revitalize downtown White Plains after a decades-long period of real estate and business decline in common with economic issues experienced by similar-sized cities at the end of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1990s, economic stimulation in the New York City region and the wider national economy spurred growth in the commercial and office leasing markets in White Plains, helping to solidify the city's position as the dominant business center of Westchester County.
