Introducing 329 North Pearl Street, a prime income-generating, 1.5-acre parcel in downtown Albany's Central Business District, currently leased to Capital Repertory Theatre (theREP) for use as a parking lot. The property is being offered at a price significantly below its most recent assessment, with further development potential awaiting a new owner. With C-3 zoning, the city’s broadest commercial designation, the site could support a range of development including large-scale retail, professional offices, hotel, and restaurant.
The location is one of its strongest assets. The site sits directly across the street from a midsize residential development, in a growing mixed-use pocket of downtown that blends cultural destinations, established businesses, and new residential construction, a combination that makes this a prime opportunity in the heart of Albany.
