    The Arcade Building has been at the center of Downtown Albany's daily activity since its construction in 1928. Until recently, the building housed office suites on the upper floors and retail space on the ground. In 2015, more than 80 years after its completion, the Landmark Building was reborn, with the office space converted to luxury residences and the ground floor restored to its original detail. The converted space offers its Residents many private amenities, leaving very little to be desired. The revival of this historic landmark symbolizes a new era for Downtown Albany where traditional, old world charm gives way to modern Urban Revitilization. Each of the 60 luxury residences at the Arcade Building was meticulously constructed to provide its Residents with the finest product the Capital Region has to offer. The oversized windows allow for an abundance of natural light and fantastic views. Modern fixtures and marble bathrooms combine with hardwood maple floors, dark mahogony cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances to create the highest standard of living whether you're entertaining guests or escaping from it all at this quiet oasis in an Urban Landscape.
