Welcome to the New North Albany Blog

The industrail area in North Albany is undergoing a slow, but visible, gentrification. The first pioneer into the conversion was Noche Lounge -- an upscale night club located on Broadway. Next came At The Warehouse, a place with a weekend market including craft vendors, farm market, specialty food n a backdrop of architectural salvage with free live music located at 20 Learned Street, just behind Miss Albany Diner and Noche. http://www.atthewarehouse.net During the weeknights, salsa lesson are held there as well. http://albanysalsa.com

Several large companies have purchased properties in the area and conversion to condos is slowly underway. This blog was set up to generate interest into the area, locate suitable available properties for commercial and residential purposes and to involve the community.

Given time, this area may evolve into the premier living and social section of Albany? Why? Parking, parking and yes parking. In addition, old warehouses are a prime place for renovation into great loft spaces.

So I'd love to hear from you and please place comments about the local establishments in the area: Noche, At The Warehouse, Miss Albany Diner, Thatcher Pub, etc.

Since this is the first day and first blog, look forward to frequent updates and pics. Hopefully in time we will have local advertisers on here as well.
