The Enclave at Fleetwood

The Enclave at Fleetwood

The Enclave at Fleetwood, located at 525 and 645 North Macquesten Parkway in the Fleetwood section of Mount Vernon, NY, transformed a blighted industrial area into a premier transit-oriented residential community.

Situated adjacent to the Fleetwood train station, the properties were formerly occupied by dilapidated and obsolete warehouse buildings that had long contributed to the decline of the surrounding area.

Enclave successfully acquired, designed, and developed the sites into a modern luxury apartment community consisting of five buildings and 179 market-rate residential units.

The development features high-end amenities including a swimming pool, fitness centers, game room, rooftop terraces, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that create a bright and contemporary living experience.

Today, The Enclave at Fleetwood stands as a striking example of urban revitalization and transit-oriented development, reshaping the neighborhood into a vibrant and highly desirable residential destination.
