Co-Working Space Opens in Historic Downtown Albany Building with Art-Deco Flair

CapCity CoWorks, the newest co-working space to hit downtown Albany, has an Art-Deco integrated, contemporary design by LEAP Architecture that brings back features that reflect the rich history of the Home Savings Bank Building, which was originally constructed in 1927.

Specifically, Art Deco elements at CapCity CoWorks include Art Deco geometric wall patterns; laser cut Art Deco geometric screens in the lounge; Art Deco felt colors on the call booth walls; and Art Deco geometric tile in the bathroom floors. New elements are in black and the design maximizes the natural amount of sunlight for all working spaces within the offices.

Strategically located in the heart of Albany at 11 North Pearl Street – close to government offices, transportation services and with panoramic views of downtown and the Hudson River – CapCity CoWorks provides an inspirational coworking environment. The space fosters creativity and positive energy, catering to coworkers from a variety of industries and skill sets, providing the perfect opportunity for networking.

With 30 offices and a variety of co-working space options, CapCity CoWorks makes the process as easy as possible and offers a wide-variety of amenities, including a custom coffee bar, beer on tap, charging stations, print centers, and much more. The space also features three phone booths for private calls, meeting lounges and a television.

The building itself features Art Deco images of Native Americans and Colonial settlers near its roof and ground-floor street entrance. The artwork of unique decorative metal and terra cotta is by Rene Paul Chambellan. The original street-level banking floor still has its various historic seals, rich marble walls and high ceilings. In recent years, the building has been extensively renovated.
