Who needs SoHo when there’s SoYo?

Brooklyn, Chelsea, Hoboken and other happening hoods are on fire right now (and have been for years), however, Yonkers is giving them a run for their money. New York’s fourth largest city has come a long way in recent years and now it’s offering companies great ways to do business — at a quarter of the price that these hot metropolitan areas cost.

Where else can you get 10,000, 20,000 or potentially 1 million square feet of office space with water front views at a fraction of New York’s soaring real estate price tags?

Yonkers. New York’s other borough.

The buildings available in Westchester County’s hippest town give you more than just space; they come with history, flavor and grand architecture — high ceilings, vast windows and original hard wood floors. Some locations, notably 86 Main Street, have wide open space and waterfront views that include the majestic backdrop of the Palisades. A bonus is that it’s just a short walk to the newly opened Yonkers Brewery and all of its crafty splendors.

Catch a glimpse of this incredible layout in this GenerationYonkers program, Space Invaders, which provides a virtual first-hand look into the building:

A few blocks away are the old Alexander Smith Carpet Mills (500 Nepperhan Ave.), buildings that are practically calling out to artists. It has up to 1 million sq. feet that are ready to be occupied by artists and the creative class. This loft space is ideal for gallery space as it comes with incredibly high 15 foot ceilings and windows that are hard to find this side of the 21st Century.

If you’re thinking of moving your company, look no further than Yonkers, the City of Gracious Living. It’s just 30 minutes from New York City at a pittance of what you’re going to pay in other hoods. How can any cost-conscious business owner pass up on such great offers that Yonkers has?

Brooklyn, Chelsea and Hoboken were much like Yonkers 20 and even 30 years ago. C’mon, be ahead of the curve. Be part of it.

Tonight, we celebrate!

Here in Yonkers, there was little doubt about which community was the hippest town in the Lower Hudson Valley.

Then The Journal News and lohud.com made it official. The City of Gracious Living, home of Getty Square, Untermyer Park & Gardens, and those breathtaking views of the Palisades was chosen above all the others in an online competition that stretched over several weeks.

Now it’s time to party.

Come out and join others who love Yonkers and lohud reporter Christine Gritmon at the Yonkers Brewing Company, 92 Main Street, for live music from Frisky Chestnut, three rounds of Yonkers trivia and a cake from Anna Artuso’s Pastry Shop, a McLean Avenue institution.

It starts at 6 p.m.

Collect Generation Yonkers swag and enter raffles for giveaways throughout the night.

At 7 p.m., Gritmon will present Mayor Michael Spano with a certificate declaring Yonkers the Hippest Town in all the region.

Generation Yonkers representatives will be there to help celebrate the city and its current social renaissance.

So come find out what many already knew. This is, in Gritmon’s words, a “newly revitalized powerhouse city, which in recent years has invested heavily in the arts, riverfront development and a stronger, safer, hipper downtown business district.”

Yeah. We knew that.

GenerationYonkers: The Next Brooklyn

With our Generation Yonkers campaign, we keep saying that Yonkers is the next urban frontier, the new Brooklyn or Hoboken, if you will. Well, it turns out Yonkers is shaping up to be the next Brooklyn — Lohud voters chose it as the hippest town in Westchester. No surprise there — it has great restaurants, night life, shopping and neighborhoods. Plus, it’s affordable, urban, diverse and just minutes from New York City. Check out what Yonkers realtor Patricia Breen of Houlihan Lawrence has to say where a lot of buyers are coming from and why they are choosing Yonkers.
