Sunrise Senior Living team seeks amended PUD approval for 900 King Street project

The Rye Brook Planning Board convened on April 10, 2025, to discuss significant developments in the community, particularly focusing on the amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) application for 900 King Street. This meeting marked a crucial step in the ongoing project led by Sunrise Senior Living, which aims to enhance senior living options in the area.

The session began with the board opening a public hearing, allowing community members to voice their opinions and concerns regarding the proposed changes. David Steinmetz, representing Sunrise Senior Living, provided an update on the project, which originally received approval in 2021. He was accompanied by a team of professionals, including architects and engineers, indicating a comprehensive approach to the project’s development.

The amended PUD approval is particularly significant as it reflects the evolving needs of the community, especially in accommodating an aging population. The board's discussions highlighted the importance of ensuring that such developments align with the village's long-term planning goals and community standards.

In addition to the main topic of the PUD application, the meeting also served as a platform for addressing broader concerns about housing and community development in Rye Brook. As the village continues to grow, the planning board's decisions will play a pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of the area.

As the meeting concluded, the board members expressed their commitment to carefully considering the implications of the proposed changes. The next steps will involve further evaluations and community feedback, ensuring that the development aligns with the needs and expectations of Rye Brook residents. This ongoing dialogue between developers and the community underscores the importance of collaborative planning in fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment.
