The large Victorian gothic building on Washington Street, once a church, stands empty except for construction workers. However, Teddy Foster, campaign director for the Universal Preservation Hall, which now owns the building, can already see it as the home of a 700-seat theater-in-the-round, a year-round venue for performances and community events.

Furthermore, the campaign she heads is within $300,000 of meeting its $5.5 million goal to pay for this phase of the transformation.

The theater, with a 45-foot-high ceiling, will occupy the second floor of the building. Community space and an atrium will be on the lower floor.

It all started with a sawmill. In 1827, Captain Isaac Henry Curtiss built his sawmill on Charlton Road and by it’s 125th anniversary in 2015, Curtis Lumber Co. grew to over 600 employees in 21 locations in New York and northern Vermont.

It had $200 million in sales in 2018, according to the company.

Aside from selling materials, part of the company’s effort goes to working with builders and design teams to see what projects are going on and how Curtis Lumber can help them.

Margie Miller, architectural representative for Curtis Lumber, said the company’s success couldn’t have happened without a strong, knowledgeable sales team and good customer service from the Curtis Lumber team.

After years of managing other people’s subdivision developments, Gerry Magoolaghan is striking out on his own as a developer with a 100-acre housing development off Route 29 in the Town of Saratoga.

“This is the first that it’s mine,” he said of the project, called Schuyler Hills, a conservation subdivision of 28 single-family homes on lots ranging from just under one acre to almost four acres.

He said the homes will be built on 50 acres of the hilly, wooded parcel. The remaining 50 acres of land will remain “forever wild.”

A homeowners’ association will own and manage the undeveloped land. “That will be their only role,” he said.

Homeowners will pay approximately $250 per year to cover the cost of maintaining the common property.

Posted onFebruary 9, 2018

By Jill Nagy

Belmonte Builders has plans to build a 24-unit condominium development on a six-acre site near Saratoga Lake.

We are “early in the presentation phase,” said Peter Belmonte, company president.

The plans call for 12 duplexes, each comprised of two townhomes or carriage homes that will have the appearance of single-family homes.

Belmonte said the units will be sold as condominiums. He said owners would have a “very convenient life style” with maintenance-free residences. There will be sidewalks and pedestrian access to the lake

He said he hopes to be able to begin construction by the end of the year, assuming that the planning board gives its approval.

The site is near Regatta View Drive and Dyer Switch Road, near Fish Creek and Saratoga Lake. It will adjoin  the much larger Regatta View and Interlaken developments, developed by Belmonte in the 1980s.

Posted onFebruary 9, 2018

By Maureen Werther

Plans for building two commercial buildings at 1712 and 1714 Route 9 in Clifton Park are moving forward, according to Maureen Abele, of Abele Builders.

The project was approved by the Clifton Park Planning Board in the fall. It includes two separate buildings. The larger of the two will be 60,000 square feet. That available space has not yet been subdivided. The smaller building, a 3,600-square-foot space, will be subdivided into two 1,800-square-foot spaces, she said.

Abele said construction of the smaller building will be completed soon, with an expectation to have the larger building completed by May or early June.

She said that 75 percent of the 60,000 square foot building has already been rented to Kitware, a software research, development and consulting company, currently located in multiple offices in Corporate Drive, approximately two miles from the new site.
