Originally constructed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the buildings that make up Wellington Row has experienced severe deterioration through the years that required the City of Albany to do an emergency partial demolition in August 2004. BBL was selected to complete renovations to Wellington Row. The renovation embraced the historical character of State Street, while providing modern office space and luxury condominiums. The former Elks Lodge #49 building has been transformed into new corporate office space. The approximately 8,000 square foot building, originally constructed in 1912, has received a complete interior renovation. The new office consists of three stories, as well as a mezzanine and basement. In addition, the former Berkshire Hotel at 140 State Street was re-purposed into luxury condominiums through the construction of a five story, 10,000 square foot structure behind the preserved façade.
