Chappaqua Crossing: Coming Soon

by

The traditional attractions of Chappaqua are many: esteemed schools, plenty of places to commune with nature, and accessibility to the city. And now, at an optimal time to take up residence in the hamlet, an exciting venture is coming to fruition: Chappaqua Crossing.

chappaqua crossings visualLocated on the former campus of Reader’s Digest on Roaring Brook Road, Chappaqua Crossing has already become a destination offering vital amenities with a certain cachet–a healthy lifestyle. To that end, the town has mandated that 20 percent of retail space be dedicated to health and wellness. The anchor store (crown jewel is no exaggeration!) will be a 40,000 square foot Whole Foods. This enterprise will provide the touch of sophistication that caters to foodies and busy families.

And, it’s not all about the retail side. The historic Wallace Auditorium will be donated to the town. Live theatre will reign in Chappaqua! Inaugural performances began in May and several theatrical companies have expressed interest in creating a permanent home. Chappaqua Crossing is dedicated to those looking to provide a healthy lifestyle for their families. The unique combination of fitness-related retail, Whole Foods and theatre, facilitates this goal. Easy access in one convenient place renders the Town of New Castle the ideal community in which to live and raise a family. chappaquacrossing.com
