Housing boom and construction Armonk experienced a surge in new housing construction and development beginning in the late 1990s. New condominiums, townhomes, and large stately mansions were constructed primarily north of the Armonk Business District and just to the west. The construction solidified Armonk's newly established reputation as an upper-crust town, with the residents profile moving away from the middle-working class and towards a much wealthier upper-class image. In the most recent construction project, Antares Real Estate of Greenwich, Connecticut purchased the long-standing Schultz's Cider Mill just south of Main Street, only to have it razed and in its place construct a premium gated townhouse and family home community (named 'Cider Mill'). As a result, the population of Armonk increased significantly, but caused the public schools to become overcrowded and push forth a series of expensive school expansion projects that significantly raised property taxes.Much of the new construction was pinned on the connections that former Town Supervisor John Lombardi had with the areas construction and development companies. In 2005, after over 40 years in office, Lombardi was ousted in the election by political newcomer Reese Berman. A former librarian at the town's middle school, Berman's campaign promise was to put a moratorium on new residential construction to be enacted during her term in office. As of Berman's election, no new purely residential projects have broken ground in Armonk. A new community; Cidermill was added in 2007-2008. Armonk Square Antares has announced plans to acquire a three acre lot in downtown Armonk and convert it into an open air pedestrian mall. In addition to adding new commercial property downtown, Antares also announced that the property would contain modestly priced townhouses as well, aimed at keeping empty nesters and seniors in the community.
