Next for Galleria: hole in ground or abandoned building?

Controlled demolition of the Galleria advocated for years here. Now city considering it. Thursday, March 11, 2021

... could involve demolishing part or all of the structure, according to White Plains Mayor Tom Roach...

___________________________

The late, not so great, train station (at the location of 15 Bank Street twin rental towers) was eventually demolished and replaced with a big hole in the ground for parts of three decades: late 1970s, 1980s, early 1990s. At least one small tree grew there.

It's heir is the giant hole in the ground at Maple Avenue, a block up from Bloomingdale Lane. It's been that way about three years.

A current abandoned site is the mini mall, which still contains the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Partial demolition of the Galleria seems unlikely. Wipe out the entire mall and the attached municipal garage and start over. Unfortunately, quick development in White Plains is the exception, so new and improved use of the Galleria location is years, hopefully not decades, away.

How many years has work been going on to refurbish the train station?

The train station seems to have become better though nope? Although I haven't used it in 2 years.
