Eastdale Village Unveils New Piazza, Ahead of Summer Programming

Today, Eastdale Village announced the completion of its newest community amenity: a thoughtfully designed, open-air Piazza that will serve as the central gathering space within the popular live, work, play destination. Located on the south side of the community, the Piazza debuts ahead of Eastdale’s signature summer programming. 

Enhancing Eastdale’s walkable, neighborhood-centered environment, the Piazza offers an inviting and inclusive space for residents and visitors alike. Inspired by the timeless character of European public squares, it reflects a vision of  community living, where culture, connection and leisure intersect, a central focus of Eastdale’s mission 

“The Eastdale Piazza is a fitting culmination to the construction along Eastdale Avenue South and is reflective of considerable input from many talented members of our design and construction teams, foremost among them Giovanni Palladino,” said John Hettinger, President of Kirchhoff, the real estate investment firm responsible for Eastdale Village. “The Piazza is intended to serve as a unique, active venue in the Hudson Valley, which our team will thoughtfully program throughout the year with wonderful events for the community.”

Beginning early May and running through September, the Piazza will serve as a central hub for Eastdale’s signature lineup of free community events, offering a consistent and recognizable destination for the season. Featured events include Movies on Main, a recurring outdoor family-friendly film series under the stars; the Farmers’ Market, featuring local vendors and fresh, seasonal offerings from Hudson Valley vendors; and Eastdale Unplugged, a new acoustic music series showcasing emerging, local talent in an intimate setting. Additional events and programming will be introduced throughout the season, reinforcing Eastdale Village as a destination for community connection. 

“From the outset, the vision for the Eastdale Piazza was to create the social heart of the community—a space where architecture and everyday life seamlessly come together,” commented Giovanni Palladino, Kirchhoff’s Director of Architecture & Design. “We approached the design as an architecturally framed civic living room, one that feels both intimate and open, inviting people to gather, connect and linger. By reinforcing Eastdale’s commitment to thoughtful placemaking and pairing the space with dynamic, year-round programming, the Piazza becomes more than a destination — it becomes a shared experience that evolves with the community.”
