99 S William St

The massive warehouse that is known as Resnick’s Mattress Warehouse, or 99 S William St has sold. This building takes up an entire block of Liberty Street and is bordered by Benkard and S. William. I was able to speak to the new owner who does not have any set plans for this space yet. For now it will be used as storage, but he is open to the idea of retail space in the future.

If you have ever seen this warehouse up close, it is huge and has tons of windows that have been filled in with blocks. It would be amazing to see them opened up again like Atlas Industries is doing to their warehouse windows just across the street. There is another huge warehouse in back of this one at 109 S. William St that doesn’t look like it has much going on at the moment. The potential is definitely there for this entire area to reinvent itself. There are many other warehouses in the vicinity, it’s almost like a mini meat packing district à la 1990’s.

This was happening a few days ago, façade work to 61 Liberty Street. It looks like it’s getting a new coat of paint. Word is that the owners would like to open up a thrift shop that would be open on the weekends.

Small things are quietly happening on Liberty Street…and it’s especially great to see it happening here, a section that doesn’t get all that much attention.

Thanks Richie!

16 E Parmenter St Newburgh NY

If you are familiar with the East Parmenter Neighborhood or Washington’s Headquarters, this property might be familiar to you. Really this is in an ideal spot, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets snatched up quick. However, the lack of interior photos might mean that there is serious work to do on the inside. So, let’s talk about location. This entire block has seen development and beautification work by Habitat for Humanity. Soon, the majority of this block will probably consist of more homeowners than renters, if that is not the case already. The house to the left is very quaint and the owner keeps their garden quite nicely, as well as the other homes across the street that are very well maintained. If you are considering moving to Newburgh, this would be the spot. It’s only around the corner from Washington’s HQ, the Brewery, and all the shops on Liberty Street that are paving the way for the Newburgh renaissance. Two years ago this property was listed for $200k more. It seems like the owner wants to sell quick.

82 Ann St Newburgh NY

Ann Street is home to many modest houses. They are all in various stages of debilitation or rehabilitation. This house, #82 has been secured with a lock and is in dire need or rehabilitation. It is one of my favorite homes on this small section of Ann Street in between Grand and Liberty Street. One can only guess what work is needed in the interior, but the exterior has nice woodwork that looks like it has been painted about 20 times. And if you look closely, it looks like there is original clapboard underneath that puke-pink/grey painted siding.

close up

There are already three homes across the street that have had the siding redone. According to records, this home sold for $9,000 last year! However, today it sits empty. This house is in an ideal central location in Newburgh. Saving this home should be a no brainer. There are over 700 abandoned or vacant homes in Newburgh. Habitation of these homes is vital to Newburgh’s future.
