Funded by Albany Tomorrow, a city/county consortium, this multi-tenant, privately developed, three-story, 50,000-square-foot office building is located on the city square in a very prominent downtown location. Movement of the building entry from the corner to the center of the building served to redefine the existing public park space in conjunction with two existing civic structures.  

To respect the contextual setting, the team performed a visual audit of landmark structures around the city, resulting in the adoption of details to guide the design process. These included window proportions, cornice details, base details and colors, like brick and stone. 

The building creates a Class A office environment that serves multiple agencies and departments from various levels of government housed in Albany. The two-story atrium creates a welcoming environment to do business with local government. The top floor houses a large meeting space for city and county commissioners, overlooking the civic plaza below.  

A two-story, 128-space parking deck and a four-story, 520-space parking deck were constructed adjacent to the building. Street-level retail has been incorporated along with the two parking structures.  

Designed by Principal Larry Sweat while with a previous firm.
