The building is due to have 57 one-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units. The plans call for 30 on-site parking spaces. The building is to be just under 52 feet tall, within the maximum of 65 feet that is permitted in the area.

Architect Stuart Lachs of the firm Perkins Eastman said that LaMora "showcases the balance between affordable and environmentally conscious design."

Modular units are being put into place at the Yonkers Housing Authority's (YHA) LaMora Senior Housing complex at 23 Mulberry St. in Yonkers. Groundbreaking for the development had taken place in October. The $44 million affordable housing development will have 60 apartments and they'll be designated for people age 62 and older with incomes at or below 60% of the area median income.
