About The Arcade Building

The Arcade Building has been at the center of Downtown Albany's daily activity since its construction in 1928. Until recently, the building housed office suites on the upper floors and retail space on the ground. In 2015, more than 80 years after its completion, the Landmark Building was reborn, with the office space converted to luxury residences and the ground floor restored to its original detail. The converted space offers its Residents many private amenities, leaving very little to be desired. The revival of this historic landmark symbolizes a new era for Downtown Albany where traditional, old world charm gives way to modern Urban Revitilzation.

The Arcade Building is located in the Downtown Albany Historic District Neighborhood and 12207 Zip code of Albany, NY.

  • Awesome Downtown Albany Living

    November 28, 2018
    After spending a year in the Arcade Building, I am about to re-sign my lease with them. Landlords are MORE than accommodating, will always answer phone calls when you have an issue and send people to fix any and all problems you may have in your apartment in a very timely manor. Common areas are always very clean and well kept. If routine maintenance needs to be done, they inform you weeks before they plan on showing up so you know exactly when they will be in your apartment and they even notify ...
    you when the job/maintenance has been done. Not only is the location perfect for anyone who works in and/or wants to enjoy the night life of downtown Albany, but the quality of living they provide is better than anything I have seen around since I moved to the area in Mid. 2016.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
