JMZ Architects and Planners purchased the Fowler Building at 190 Glen St. in Glens Falls. The first floor housed Aimie’s Dinner and a Movie, whose owners have decided on a career change\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY JILL NAGY<\/p>\n

After 14 years as tenants, JMZ Architects
\nand Planners is now the owner of its
\ndowntown Glens Falls home at 190 Glen St.<\/p>\n

The company said it purchased the building
\non Sept. 1. The architects occupy the second
\nand third floors of the three-story building.
\nUntil recently, the first floor housed Aimie’s
\nDinner and a Movie and Wallabee’s Jazz Bar,
\nboth owned by Kerry and Sandy Metivier.<\/p>\n

The Metiviers decided on a career change.
\nJMZ bought the assets of those businesses
\nand are looking for tenants to take over that
\nspace. So far, there are three tentative renters,
\naccording to Tenee Casaccio, president of JMZ.
\nSandy Metivier’s father, Bud Wolf, was
\nthe owner of the building. Upstate Model Railroaders rent space in the basement but,
\nCasaccio said, they may move.<\/p>\n

The purchase was partly a renewal of
\nthe firm’s commitment to downtown Glens
\nFalls and partly a tribute to Robert Joy, who
\nfounded JMZ in 1977, Casaccio said. Joy was
\npart of a group that purchased, renovated and
\nresold a row of nine Warren Street buildings
\nin the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Casaccio sees the purchase of the Glen
\nStreet building as “a wonderful legacy” that
\nbuilds on Joy’s vision for the city.<\/p>\n

Known as the B.B.Fowler Building, 190 Glen
\nSt. began life as a department store.
\n“Knowing that my grandparents shopped
\nin the Fowler Building, I think there was some emotional attachment to the building
\nhere,” Casaccio said. It was vacant for several
\nyears before Wolf purchased it in 2000 and
\nrenovated it.<\/p>\n

JMZ moved from its former offices on
\nWarren Street around the corner to the second
\nfloor of the Fowler Building in 2001. In 2008,
\nthey took over the third floor as well. They
\nfully renovated two floors of the building
\nwhen they moved in, Casaccio said, so there
\nare no immediate plans for further changes
\nto those floors. They may use some space on
\nthe ground floor and basement.<\/p>\n

There are 25 architects and planners in the
\nfirm. Joy is still active in JMZ but approaching
\nretirement.<\/p>\n

Casaccio is president of the company, which
\nnow qualifies as a women-owned business enterprise. The firm focuses on projects for
\ninstitutions of higher education. Currently,
\nthe company’s “furthest south” project is at
\nLouisiana State University in Baton Rouge,
\nshe said.<\/p>\n

The company is also just finishing work
\non an addition to the child care center at
\nSUNY Adirondack in Queensbury and is
\nalso working on a building for Empire State
\nCollege.<\/p>\n

Casaccio grew up in Bolton Landing. She
\nearned her architecture degree at Virginia
\nTech. She remained in the south for a while
\nbut returned to this area in 1993. “I hadn’t
\nplanned to return to this area but now I can’t
\nimagine being anywhere else,” she said. “There
\nis a great quality of life here and I’m looking
\nforward to many productive years here.”<\/p>\n
