Valente Builders Inc. of Hudson Falls is working on construction of a three-story, 27-unit apartment complex for senior citizens on Bay Road in Queensbury.
Apartments will vary between 1-3 bedroom units, according to Daniel Valente.
He said amenities will include a community garden, an outside area for recreation, a fire pit and walking paths within the subdivision, enabling seniors to walk without being on the main road. They will also be able to otherwise congregate and foster community.
Valente, recently retired from the company, where he served as president said that there’s a real need for “in-between, transient homes” for snowbirds during the warmer months, with a maintenance-free living style. It is a particular need in the Lake George and Queensbury area.
“It’s a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle down south. It’s not far from Saratoga,” Valente said.
The site plan is designed and construction is expected to begin soon.
Valente Builders is a family owned and operated wall panel construction business, established in 1977. As a privately owned construction company, we have no outside investors or joint-venture partners. The company is focused on wall-panel construction and has a panel design center.
Starting in the early 1980s, Valente Builders panelized their own custom homes and commercial projects. It has expertise in home and business wall panels and component manufacturing.
