Glen Street Associates of Glens Falls purchased this former U.S. post office building at 70 Warren St. three years ago and will start renovating it this year for new office space\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY R.J. DELUKE<\/p>\n

Plans are moving forward to renovate a downtown
\nbuilding that was once the Glens Falls post
\noffice.
\nDeveloper Peter Hoffman, president of Glen
\nStreet Associates of Glens Falls, purchased the
\nbuilding at 70 Warren St. about three years ago
\nfrom St, Mary’s Catholic Church, which bought the
\nbuilding from the federal government in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

The two-story structure with the stone facade
\n“has some remarkable historical details,” he said.
\nIt was built in 1915 and has about 12,000 square
\nfeet of space. After it ceased being a post office
\nin the late 1960s, it was shuttered up until the
\nchurch purchased it.<\/p>\n

Hoffman said interior demolition work and
\ncleanup has been done. Crews are now inside doing
\nwork that includes new windows, new doors,
\ninstallation of an elevator, roof work and putting
\nin new insulation.
\n“We’re getting it ready for a tenant,” he said.
\nHe noted that the ornate foyer years ago was
\nplaced in protection by the U.S. government when
\nit owned the building. It can’t be altered without going through a process that would involve the
\nstate Historic Preservation Office.<\/p>\n

“But we’re not making any changes. We’re just
\ncleaning it up,” said Hoffman, noting the whole
\ninterior will undergo a professional cleaning.
\nHoffman’s own Glen Street Associates is the
\ngeneral contractor for the project.<\/p>\n

Of its eligible uses, Hoffman said he viewed it
\nas being put to use as “high-end commercial office
\nspace. It’s right next to our Warren Street Square
\nproject, which is predominantly full.”
\nWarren Street is home to commercial space and
\nluxury apartments.<\/p>\n

Hoffman does not yet have a tenant. He said
\n“we will subdivide the space for the right tenant”
\nand also left open the possibility of more than
\none tenant.
\n“There’s parking, which makes it an ideal space
\nfor a user to be in, right in the heart of downtown.
\nWe think it’s going to be a great spot.”<\/p>\n

“That’s our project for 2015,” said Hoffman. “We’ve
\npretty much done a project every year. The building
\nis 100 years old this year. We hope to be able to
\ncelebrate the 100th anniversary in style.”<\/p>\n
