PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 17, 2010 -
Looking up at the skyline of White Plains Wednesday night it should be no surprise to see those famous windows turn from blue to green.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, the top of Westchester’s tallest building, the Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, will be lit in green to celebrate this festive holiday.

Bruce Berg, Executive Vice President, Cappelli Enterprises, representing the company that owns the building, said, “We are pleased to continue this tradition of lighting the tower to celebrate holidays throughout the year and we wish everyone a very happy St. Patrick’s Day.’’

"Everyone is Irish on March 17th," said Kim Sinistore, Director, Westchester County Tourism. "All eyes will be looking up at the green tower lights as Westchester celebrates St. Patrick's Day.  We hope this will encourage people to visit and enjoy all there is to see and do in New York's 'Golden Apple'."

Cappelli Enterprises began the tradition in December, lighting the tower blue and white to celebrate the eight nights of Hanukah and red and green from Christmas until New Year Year’s Eve.

The tower will be lit on other upcoming special occasions such as Earth day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

Tower I of the Ritz Carlton, Westchester soars 44 stories high at 400 ft.  The tower was completed in December, 2007, making it the tallest building between New York City and Boston.  Inside the tower are The Residences at the Ritz Carlton, Westchester, 42, the Restaurant, located on the 42 floor, and BLT Steak restaurant, located on the ground floor.
