Avalon Harrison, a transit oriented development, has been completed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) at the Harrison Metro-North station in New York. This development is the first of its kind in Harrison, combining residential and retail spaces centered around transportation.
Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA leaders, and officials from AvalonBay Communities gathered at the Harrison Metro-North station to announce the completion of the Avalon Harrison project. The goal of this collaboration is to promote downtown revitalization and improve the environment and healthy lifestyles by providing residents with easy access to shops, amenities, and rail stations within walking distance.
The Avalon Harrison project was completed in two phases, with the initial phase opening in August 2021. It involved the construction of a 598-space commuter parking garage, which is owned and operated by Metro-North and located near the Harrison station’s Connecticut-bound platform.

With the completion of the second phase of the project, Avalon Harrison now offers 143 apartments in three residential buildings. Additionally, there are 7 affordable apartments subsidized by Westchester County. The community also provides 5,000 square feet of interior amenities.
Avalon Harrison features a 27,000 square foot street-level retail/commercial component. It also includes two landscaped public plazas that are connected to the Metro-North Harrison Station platform. The development offers a total of 758 parking spaces, including 475 Metro-North customer parking spaces, 96 retail parking spaces, and 187 residential parking spaces.
Governor Hochul expressed her satisfaction with the completion of the Avalon Harrison project, stating that it has transformed the area around Harrison Station. She believes that this new development will attract more customers to Metro-North’s cleaner and greener public transportation services. The project aligns with the Governor’s agenda to increase the housing supply in New York State.
