One of Will's major projects was the Yonkers power plant. Alsop has a foothold in the USA with a major commission from the REMI Corporation to design a residential and museum development
overlooking the Hudson River in Yonkers , New York. Located behind the Glenwood station, only a couple minutes from Manhattan’s Grand Central Station, this project will rejuvenate an undervalued area of the river front representing the major focus for a new waterfront masterplan authorise by the City of Yonkers. The project will pioneer various innovations in prefabricated construction, with self-supplying energy , including a wind turbine on the tower roof.
