The owner of Albany’s Central Warehouse says it plans to demolish what is often called the city’s biggest eyesore. Redburn Development Partners says a number of factors contributed to its inability to redevelop the hulking structure, including a “very challenging economic climate.” The company says it looks forward to taking the building down.
"There sometimes is victory in defeat," the company said in a statement Tuesday. "And we look forward to working with our partners to get the building down and remove this blight from the skyline."
The 11-story structure has changed hands numerous times amid failed redevelopment attempts.
Earlier this year, members of the Albany County legislature called for the warehouse to be demolished in a letter to state and federal leaders.
