The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will proceed with construction of a permanent building at the site of the current At the Rail tent at Saratoga Race Course.<\/p>\n

The group received approval April 30 from the New York State Franchise Oversight Board to go ahead with the project.<\/p>\n

The building will replace the seasonal tent and trailers located immediately adjacent to the end of the Clubhouse. It will consist of a 36,000-square foot, three-story, climate-controlled building featuring differentiated hospitality options and modern amenities, NYRA officials said. In addition to the three floors of usable space for guests, a basement level will provide space for a kitchen to service the building.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYRA currently plans to break ground on the project at the conclusion of the 2018 summer season and anticipates the new building will welcome guests on opening day of the 2019 meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is another example of NYRA\u2019s continuous efforts to provide the best possible experience for our guests. The new building will transform the parcel of land at the south end of the property with the type of differentiated seating, dining options and amenities synonymous with a world-class sporting venue,\u201d said NYRA CEO and President Chris Kay. \u201cPerhaps most importantly, the new building will address the modern-day needs of Saratoga Race Course while honoring its history. We have taken great care to ensure that the building is historically consistent with the fabled architecture of our grandstand and clubhouse. We look forward to beginning the next steps of this much-anticipated project.\u201d<\/p>\n

SOSH Architects will continue to oversee design, bid and construction administration services for the building. Matt Hurff, partner at Saratoga Springs-based Frost Hurff Architects, will continue to serve as project consultant to ensure all historic preservation standards are met.<\/p>\n

The project has received the endorsement of the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, which specifically noted the importance of the new building to the future of Saratoga Race Course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation is pleased to offer its support for the New York Racing Association\u2019s planned At the Rail building at Saratoga Race Course, which incorporates historically sensitive design details,\u201d said Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation Executive Director Samantha Bosshart. \u201cThe Foundation looks forward to seeing the New York Racing Association\u2019s significant investment in this building come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, NYRA has placed significant resources behind historic preservation efforts at Saratoga Race Course. In 2015, it began to restore the copper roofing that historically bordered the slate-covered roof on buildings throughout the property. This is visible in a number of locations, including the archway over the Clubhouse escalator, which was installed in 2016; the paddock mutuel building roof, to which copper accents were added in 2017; and the Clubhouse from the Easy Goer to the Club Terrace, which will feature the addition of copper along the roof line for the 2018 season.<\/p>\n

The Saratoga Race Course Local Advisory Board expressed support for the new building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe objective of this project is to maintain the historic character of Saratoga Race Course while responding to changes in the sports and entertainment landscape to ensure a sustainable, successful future for racing at Saratoga,\u201d said Joseph A. Torani, Saratoga Race Course Local Advisory Board chairman. \u201cThe Saratoga Local Advisory Board strongly endorses the decision by the Franchise Oversight Board to approve construction of this new building which will accomplish these stated goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
