Rockland County officials are inviting residents and neighbors of the Sain Building to take part in a public presentation outlining proposed plans for the long-awaited redevelopment of the vacant site.
The community meeting will take place Monday, February 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Legislative Chambers at the Allison-Parris Building, 11 New Hempstead Road, in New City.
During the presentation, developers will unveil their proposed plans for redeveloping the former Sain Building property, a six-story structure situated on approximately 3.6 acres directly across from the Rockland County Courthouse. The building, which previously housed county offices, has been vacant since 2017. County officials say the redevelopment effort is aimed at eliminating a long-standing eyesore while addressing the growing need for housing in the area.
Residents attending the meeting will be able to view visual renderings, images of proposed projects, and to-scale site plans to better understand the layout, design, and overall scope of each proposal. Developers are also expected to discuss who the development would serve, including the number of units potentially set aside for income-qualified families, seniors, and emergency responders.
In addition, the presentation will cover projected costs, including estimated rent levels for rental units and potential sale prices for homeownership opportunities.
County officials emphasized that community input will play a critical role in shaping the future of the site. Attendees are encouraged to review the proposals, ask questions, and provide feedback to ensure the redevelopment reflects local priorities and strengthens the surrounding neighborhood.
