Rockland County group buys St. Christopher property in New Windsor
A Hasidic community from Rockland County has purchased the former St. Christopher's property in New Windsor for approximately $13 million at a bankruptcy sale.
The plan is for the buyers, from the Village of New Square in the Town of Ramapo, to utilize the land as a yeshiva for hundreds of students of the Skver (Hasidic Dynasty). According to court records, the property was purchased by Blooming Grove LLC, which has an address listed in New City in Rockland County.
St. Christopher's, a children's services charity founded in 1881, declared $10 million to $50 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in liabilities, in a Chapter 11 petition filed last April in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains.
The McQuade Foundation, an affiliate, declared $1 million to $10 million in assets and liabilities in a separate petition. St. Christopher's operated Welcoming Arms for Unaccompanied Minors, a shelter in New Windsor for children who migrated to the U.S. without adults. It also operated facilities in Dobbs Ferry and Valhalla.
The organization served 80 children and 170 families when it closed.
