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, as well as a 15-screen cinema operated by National Amusements as Showcase Cinema de Lux.

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.

The City Center is locally known as the spot where New York Knicks players often hang out due to their training facility in Greenburgh, New York, being located just 14 minutes away.
