The firm reports that the retrofitting program at the 84,000-sf, six-story building will include an all new granite façade, new exterior sidewalks and entryway lined with brick pavers leading to a high-end glass door entrance. The lobby will be completely renovated to include a new granite floor, new wall coverings, recessed lighting and a new building directory. Elevator shells will be replaced and upgraded mechanically to increase operating speed, company officials say. A new fitness center will be an addition to the facility, as well as high-speed Internet connectivity, indoor parking and a full-time doorman. The facility will also boast a completely furnished outdoor courtyard, for tenant use, they add.

Lightstone Group officials did not divulge the cost of the renovation program for the property, its only real estate holding in Westchester County. The firm reports it has hired Sterling Engineering of Reading, PA. to lead the building enhancement program, which is expected to be completed sometime next month.

Frank Duran, director of Commercial Leasing for Lightstone, says, "We are pleased to announce the commencement of the facility enhancement program at 150 Grand St. When completed, this quality building will be one of the finest office environments in the class B White Plains market, which is currently experiencing a significant increase in activity. We are excited to present this renovated facility to the marketplace and expand our presence in the region and the City of White Plains."
