REDUCE Traffic Congestion
on Main and Station
The new design relocates all deliveries to a designated underground area, removing trucks from Buckhout and Broadway. Hotel and residence traffic will be lighter and more evenly spread throughout the day, avoiding rush-hour surges. Together, these changes will bring noticeably calmer, safer streets for residents and local drivers alike.

Eliminate Parking OVerflow
VALET ONLY & Underground Parking
The new plan fully parks the building on-site with a dedicated underground garage, eliminating the long-standing parking deficit that has pushed cars onto neighborhood streets. Guests and residents will have secure valet or self-parking, easing congestion and restoring calm to the surrounding block.

Tax Revenue for Residents
via hotel tax, $1M+ ANNUALLY
The project will generate lasting new tax revenue through Irvington’s hotel tax. Hotel guests will provide Irvington with a steady (and sizeable) annual revenue stream — funding parks, sidewalks, and local programs for decades to come. With visitors contributing through hotel stays, the village can share the load of supporting essential community services.

Architectural REVIVAL
by revealing an icon
The project will remove unsympathetic mid-century additions and restore the majority of The Cosmopolitan’s original west-facing façade and architectural detail. Guided by the building’s historic proportions and materials, the design will blend restoration with sensitive new construction, reviving its elegance and strengthening the visual harmony of Irvington’s village center.

Sustainability in Practice

The project will preserve Irvington’s history while meeting modern standards for energy efficiency and environmental design. Green roofs, high-performance systems, and improved air quality will reduce the building’s impact and operating costs. This sustainable restoration blends historic character with twenty-first-century performance — ensuring The Cosmopolitan endures beautifully and responsibly for generations to come.
