ARDSLEY, NY-After more than two years in the approval process, the developer of the Woodlands at Ardsley senior community was granted a critical zone change by the Ardsley that could allow construction to commence by the spring of 2001. Andrew Belfer, a principal of Hassett-Belfer Senior Housing of Great Neck, says the unanimous vote by the Ardsley Village Board on Nov. 6 to approve the necessary zone change was critical for the project to move forward.

During the approval process, the company has significantly redesigned its proposal and reduced the total number of rental units from 250 in three interconnected buildings to 175 units in two buildings. While Belfer did not divulge the projected development cost, plans are for the community to take up approximately 175,000 sf.

Hassett-Belfer Senior Housing, which currently operates the Mayfair of Great Neck (148 units) and the Mayfair of Glen Cove (80 units), is scheduled to break ground on a senior housing community of 89 units in Rockville Centre in December. The total development cost of that project at the corner of Long Beach Road and Maple Avenue is estimated at $20 million.
