Developer hopes rowhouse plans are history
ALBANY — A plan to build five rowhouses in the Center Square section of Albany has received planning board approval — and now needs an OK from a city historic preservation panel.
The rowhouse plans by Crisafulli Associates were previously shown to the Historic Resources Commission. On Wednesday, Crisafulli will present a design tweaked to conform to the prior board recommendations.
The rowhouses — all single-family homes — would be built on an empty lot at 187-193 Jay Street, adjacent to the Knickerbocker Apartments.
The project would be a relatively rare example (at least in the Capital Region) of urban in-fill housing.
Renderings of the project show flat-roofed structures with steep stoops and jutting windows.
Each home includes a street-facing garage.
Michael J. Crisafulli, vice president of the Latham development company, on Friday said construction could begin by spring if commission approval comes quickly.
“We’ve got plenty of people interested already,” Crisafulli said, referring to potential buyers.
Crisafulli wasn’t yet ready to say what the homes would cost, though.
The Lofts at Bryn Mawr rowhouses built by Crisafulli Associates — along Albany-Shaker Road and the Loudonville border — sell for $385,000 and up.
The Historic Resource Commission reviews for appropriateness proposed alterations, additions, demolitions and new construction in city historic districts.
