    About this House

    Academy Street Development Opportunity

    Multi-Family + 2 Vacant Parcels | Value-Add + Redevelopment Potential

    Located in the heart of Downtown Poughkeepsie’s rapidly evolving corridor, this Academy Street offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a multi-family property along with two adjoining vacant parcels, ideal for both immediate income and future development.

    The existing multi-family structure features large residential units with strong rental potential, making it an attractive value-add investment. With renovations, this property can generate solid cash flow while providing a strategic hold for future expansion.

    What truly sets this offering apart are the two additional vacant parcels, creating a unique assemblage that opens the door to a variety of redevelopment possibilities. Whether expanding the current building, constructing new residential units, or creating a mixed-use concept, the flexibility here is a major advantage.

    Situated within the MU-5 (Mixed-Use 5) zoning district, the property allows for:

    Multi-family residential development
    Retail, office, and service-based uses
    Potential for up to 5 stories (with bonus height opportunities up to 7 stories)

    Developers and investors will appreciate the ability to maximize density in a high-demand rental market, all while being positioned near major amenities, transportation, and ongoing city revitalization efforts.

    Additional highlights include:

    Prime downtown location near business district, courthouse, and train station
    Strong rental demand in the area
    Flexible zoning supporting multiple development strategies
    Opportunity to create scale with adjacent parcels

    This is an ideal opportunity for an investor or developer looking to combine immediate income with long-term upside, in one of Poughkeepsie’s most active growth areas.

      "Ok, however im not used to the city. Except theres not a lot of busses. Theyre are busses, just not a lot. So you need a car to get where a short 14min car ride takes over 1 hr to bus or over 2- more hrs to walk some places. Say if this was albany we could catch a bus every 15-20mins 7days a week, pretty much every block and get anywhere you want."

      " I’ve lived here for 10 years and it has been a very safe and enjoyable neighborhood to live in. The schools are very good both public and parochial. There is great access to shopping, groceries and restaurants. There are lots of parks, museums and rail trails in the area. The city also has the walkway over the Hudson which is a great attraction. Access to NYVc is easy and 1:30 minutes on the train with a ride along the Hudson River. Overall the area is safe. The four seasons give a great opportunity to enjoy the holidays. "
