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.

“The demolition of the Central Warehouse will not
only eliminate blight, unused spaces, but it’ll allow
for new opportunities to bolster the community
and uplift economic growth.”

– Governor Kathy Hochul
