Foothills Builders, a family owned residential construction company, is pursuing plans to build a mixed-use building at 78-80 Main St. in Queensbury.<\/p>\n

The company was established in 2013 by Joe Leuci and his father, also named Joe. Since that time, they have built close to 100 homes including two subdivisions in Queensbury and numerous homes in Corinth and Moreau. The proposed three-story building is located on the Northway Exit 18 corridor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be what we hope will be the transformation of this corridor between Exit 18 and Glens Falls,\u201d said Leuci. \u201cI think it would be huge for the area if that stretch can be developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

If approved, the 25,000-square-foot building will include 7,000 square feet of leasable space on the ground floor. The space can be split up to accommodate at least four tenants, he said.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\u201cWe don\u2019t have any tenants because we haven\u2019t advertised yet, because we haven\u2019t been approved yet,\u201d said Leuci. \u201cOnce we begin construction, we are going to start that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upper floors would contain a total of 20 one-bedroom apartments and four two-bedroom apartments. They will range in size from approximately 600 to 800 square feet.\u00a0 <\/span>One-bedroom apartments will have\u00a0 <\/span>small balconies, while the two-bedroom units will\u00a0 <\/span>have walk-out balconies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that having balconies built into the units is a nice feature,\u201d he said. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rents are likely to range from $1,100 to $1,600, but exact numbers have not been finalized for what Leuci describes as \u201chigh end\u201d apartments. If all goes as planned, leasing could begin as early as next spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have another planning board meeting at the end of May, and I\u2019m hoping within the next two planning board meetings that we will be approved,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are hoping to start construction this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to take about a year, but the timeline is difficult to project due to ongoing supply chain shortages that builders have been grappling with for more than two years.<\/p>\n

Foothills Builders is also seeking approval to build 77 townhouses on Ridge Road in Queensbury at the former Mead\u2019s Nursery and Garden Center. Doing so would require the property to be rezoned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
