The total value of a company’s ownership held by shareholders, usually calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the current share price; it’s effectively the market price tag on the company’s equity. Investors use this figure to compare company size, gauge risk and growth potential, and assess how much their ownership is worth—like checking the sticker price when comparing cars before buying.
opportunity zoneregulatory
A designated low-income geographic area that offers special tax incentives to investors who channel capital into projects there through approved funds. Think of it as a time-limited tax discount that encourages long-term investment in struggling neighborhoods: investors can defer, reduce or potentially eliminate taxes on gains if they keep money invested for specified periods. For investors, opportunity zones can change the math of a deal by lowering after-tax cost and shifting risk–return calculations.
pilot agreementregulatory
A pilot agreement is a short-term contract to run a limited, real-world test of a product, service, or process between a company and a partner or customer. For investors it matters because a successful pilot is like a dress rehearsal that proves the idea works in practice, reduces technical or market risk, and can lead to larger contracts, regulatory acceptance, or revenue ramps if the trial converts to full-scale deployment.
form-based zoning codetechnical
A form-based zoning code is a set of land-use rules that focuses on the physical shape and appearance of buildings and public spaces—such as building height, placement, frontage, and sidewalks—rather than only separating uses like residential or commercial. For investors, it matters because it shapes what can be built, how dense or walkable a neighborhood will be, and therefore influences property values, development costs, and the predictability of future projects much like a blueprint that guides how a street will look and function.

“The successful capitalization of 2 South Main demonstrates the continued demand for well-conceived housing developments that meet both market needs and community priorities,” said Beler, senior managing director of Capital Markets and co-head of Equity & Structured Finance at Walker & Dunlop. “We structured and sourced the project's construction financing and equity investment while leveraging public-sector incentives. This enabled us to deliver a comprehensive capital solution that positions the development for long-term success and supports the continued growth of downtown Port Chester.”
Hyperion Principal and CEO Robert Vecsler stated, “We are delighted to bring this best-in-class residential community to the most desirable location in the heart of Port Chester, New York.” Vecsler further noted, “2 South Main continues Hyperion’s strategy to identify urban-adjacent residential locations with independent economic and demand drivers. 2 South Main will set the standard for the residential experience in this market, offering state-of-the-art amenities and finishes, walkability to local shops, restaurants and entertainment, and proximity to the Metro-North Station, Westchester employment centers, as well as neighboring cities Rye and Greenwich.”
Located along the Byram River at the Connecticut border, Port Chester is a well-connected Westchester County community with direct Metro-North access to Manhattan. Once a 19th-century manufacturing and port town, it has undergone significant transformation, supported by its cuisine, music, and urban scale intimacy.
“It is an honor to build alongside such an exceptional best-in-class partnership and to help carry forward Port Chester’s strategic downtown vision,” said Scott Allen, founder and CEO of AIP. “2 South Main isn’t merely a building, it is a new front door and a new future for Liberty Square. Central to AIP’s endeavors are the people and the futures we help shape and 2 South main reflects that: it expands walkability, breathes new life into the street below, elevates urban living, and strengthens connectivity through thoughtful, sustainably focused development.”
The evolution has been supported by deliberate public investment and thoughtful planning. The Village of Port Chester and New York State have prioritized the revitalization of the downtown and waterfront, including the 120 acres surrounding the train station for redevelopment. A form-based zoning code adopted in 2020 established the framework for a transit-oriented development and a more connected, walkable community along the Byram River.
“Arbor Realty Trust is proud to provide construction financing for 2 South Main, a big step forward for a New York neighborhood, through our active and growing Arbor Private Construction (APC) lending program,” said David E. Friedman, executive vice president, chief credit officer, Non-Agency, and head of APC. “The landmark multifamily residence will create hundreds of housing units and advance Arbor’s commitment to enhancing the rental supply in communities across the United States.”
Residents of 2 South Main will enjoy Class-A unrivaled amenities, and with a location adjacent to the MTA Metro-North station Grand Central sits just 45-minutes away. Direct vehicular access to I-95 and I-287 allows access across Westchester County and major employment centers in Stamford, Greenwich, White Plains, and the broader New York metropolitan area. Situated in historic liberty square along Main Street, the property is surrounded by shops, restaurants, the marina, public waterfront park, the capitol theater, and AMC cinema. Rye Beach, fairways of Westchester Country clubs, and the trails of Edith G. Read Natural Park & Wildlife Sanctuary are also within minutes of the property. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
