YONKERS, NY—Simone Development Companies has been designated by the City of Yonkers as the redeveloper of the former Boyce Thompson Institute property into a new mixed-used complex.

Simone's plan for the $35 million redevelopment project includes offices for business and medical use on the upper floor of the building with the front and rear grade levels housing medical offices, retail stores, banking and two restaurants.
