Redburn Development is the group that repurposed the industrial buildings on Cross Street to create The Wick Hotel. The group also made a proposal for the Kaz site back in 2018. In July 2019, Gossips reported that there had been a terrible fire at one of their projects in Troy: a factory building they were restoring to become Collar Factory Lofts apartments.
This morning, the Albany Business Review reported on the project: "$15 million Collar Factory Lofts in Troy nears completion"--77 one- and two-bedroom apartments with rents starting at less than $1,000. Why can't this sort of thing happen in Hudson?

Housing could have been created at the pocketbook factory at Sixth and Washington. Instead, we are going to get "a mix of commercial uses including art, hospitality, and community space."
ReplyDeleteTalk about no parking. And why complain that someone is doing something positive with that awesome building? Not everyone wants to be a landlord!
DeleteTalbot will now be 2 blocks off of Warren, in a residential area?

Think the shop on Warren is staying, but not sure. It's a huge old commercial building that used to fabricate steel.
DeleteThere is not adequate on-street parking around the Pocketbook factory for it to be turned into apartments.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they can go in with Galvan to put a large parking structure draining into Oakdale. For the residents, you see.
DeleteBy that logic, the building at Fifth and Union should never be turned into an apartment building due to limited parking in the area.
