There was a proposal for an all-electric multi-use apartment complex in downtown Albany and it has officially gotten the green light!

A $22 million project will now be built in downtown Albany and is being done in a very environmentally conscious way. It includes everything from the heat pumps to the solar panels on the roof. It will be a "zero-emission" building they call "Industrie".

Where Will "Industrie" Be Built in Downtown Albany?

The mixed-use apartment complex is being built on the part of Broadway in downtown Albany that has been vacant. It is right between the Warehouse District and the heart of downtown Albany. The location is very close to Capital Repertory Theater, the new Albany Skyway pedestrian walkway, and the Palace Theater.

There will also be eighty apartments on the upper floors. Many amenities are planned.

How Will Industrie Be a Zero-Emission Building?

For Rosenblum Development Corp., this is their first zero-emission building. That means that it will burn no fossil fuels that will emit greenhouse gases. The building will be at least 30% higher efficiency than other buildings. There are electric heat pumps and energy recovery ventilation. Aside from the energy efficiency, it will also be equipt with filtered ventilation that will allow for superior air quality and disease resistance. This will allow for controlled humidity and the elimination of pollutants.

The plan is to have the apartments ready for occupancy by the summer of 2023.
