The owners have approval from Albany’s planning department to reinstall a full kitchen, add a bathroom, and convert the property from commercial to residential use. Completing this process to receive the building permit will involve installing sprinklers in the ceilings and taking out the driveway curb cut (as the garage had been converted to an office). The owners opted to retain the property’s commercial character. The property is available for sale ($1.3M) or for lease (triple net, $8k/month). Conventional residential financing would not work for this transaction. Commercial, cash, or hard money only.
