Historic Kenwood Convent of The Sacred Heart, Albany, New York - 11 "1878 Gothic Revival-style building"

The property has the large 1878 Gothic Revival-style building that was the former Kenwood Academy, a private Roman Catholic school. The campus also includes a gatehouse, gardener’s cottage and carriage barn.http://blog.timesunion.com/realestate/on-the-market-the-old-doane-stuart-campus/416/

Three of the four business partners involved in an offer to buy the large, secluded Kenwood Academy property in Albany, New York, have stepped away from the deal or now have a limited role.

 

The abrupt changes leave one person looking for other financial and development partners.

 

The 73-acre wooded campus near Thruway Exit 23 has been empty since Doane Stuart School moved out and the religious order closed its convent in 2008. Attempts to sell and develop the property, which includes 214,000 square feet of buildings, have been unsuccessful. The list price has dropped to $2.9 million.

 

Several ideas have been floated for the unique property, including an international boarding school and language institute. There are also retail opportunities on the exterior of the campus fronting busy Southern Boulevard and South Pearl Street. www.bizjournals.com/albany/news/2017/04/07/shakeup-among-...
