General Overview

The Central Warehouse, prominently located alongside I-787 at the entrance to Downtown Albany, is an 11-story eyesore that has slowly deteriorated in front of the entire Capital Region for the last several decades. While significant attempts have been made to rehabilitate the building, it became clear that demolition is the only viable option. The project plan includes a six-month asbestos abatement phase immediately followed by a demolition phase. It will generate approximately 90,000 tons of clean concrete which will be sent offsite for beneficial reuse/ recycling, diverting this waste stream from the landfill. In addition to removing a prominent, contaminated and deteriorating eyesore, the project will create a 1.1-acre investment-ready site in a growing area of the City of Albany.
