Exterior Complete

The exterior of the building is fully complete, standing seven stories tall.  The building includes a vertical addition of three stories to the original 1928 four-story concrete building. The exterior of the building was re-faced with wood-clad windows and natural brick, to provide a historic feel while incorporating elements of contemporary style.

The first and second floors house the lobby, fitness center, 38 reserved parking spaces and storage units inside a heated garage. Twenty-four condos are located on floors 3 through 7, with a roof deck at the eighth floor level.

We gutted out a car ramp, added 3 stories, and outfitted 17 Chapel with 24 luxury condos.  And now, the exterior of the building is almost complete!  The canopy and sign over the front entrance were recently installed, and sidewalks were poured today on Monroe St.

The Business Review covered the latest construction development, calling it “One of the most anticipated residential projects in downtown Albany”.  See “Condo with a view: Downtown Albany’s 17 Chapel“, including a slideshow of the roof deck and model condo unit.

Construction Wrap Up in the Business Review

As we reach the major milestone of completing general construction and are welcoming in the first homeowners, the positive feedback keeps growing.

At the Downtown Albany BID fall networking event held at 17 Chapel, attendees enjoyed the view from the roof deck and admired how the light fills the model condo through ample windows.  On Friday, reporter Michael DeMasi of The Business Review wrote about the growing interest in this unprecedented luxury downtown condo project:

The seven-story building, plus rooftop deck, is located on Chapel Street across from the Hampton Inn    & Suites, a short walk from bars, restaurants, Capital Rep and the Palace Theater. It’s the kind of project downtown boosters have long waited for as a way to create a truly 24/7 living experience. Other developers have converted the upper floors of buildings into apartments, with more on the way…

“We’ve been getting a lot of positive compliments,” Rosenblum said. “People say you really built something as beautiful as you said it was going to be.”
