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 an apartment community located in Albany County and the 12207 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Albany City School District attendance zone.

It isn't often that a city's downtown neighborhood is also its most beautiful, but it's very true for Albany. Downtown Albany is perched along the Hudson River and is home to cobblestone streets, elegant historic architecture, and tree-lined sidewalks. Located on Broadway, the State University of New York (SUNY) looks like a gothic castle, complete with spires and turrets. The State Capitol building is an equally impressive monolith and is flanked by parks. Head across State Street and you'll discover the Egg -- a uniquely designed, ultra-modern performing arts center. The history of the downtown area is fascinating -- settled during the 17th century, much of the current architecture in this National Historic District was built around 1800.
There's much more to Downtown Albany than its beauty -- it is home to award-winning restaurants, fantastic shops, major businesses, theaters, museums, and a riverfront park with views that will inspire you to sit and watch the day go by.
