CLIENT/OWNER:
Abele Route Nine, LLC LOCATION: Rte 9, Halfmoon, New York |

| Abele Route Nine, the owner of this single-story, wood-framed building with brick veneer, was able to attract Cohoes Savings Bank as the primary tenant by using conceptual color renderings provided by Keystone Architectural Services. In addition to the bank, Abele also required that the building be designed with space for other tenants. The site for the 9,400-square-foot building was extremely tight, and the owner wanted maximum density for the greatest profit per square foot. With the commitment from Cohoes Savings Bank, Keystone was able to provide tenant fit-up floor plans to the bank at the same time that the building shell drawings were being completed, adjusting the building in a fluid process which resulted in the most efficient use of space. In keeping with the image of a financial institution, Keystone designed a vaulted ceiling for the bank space, in conjunction with flat bottom-chord trusses, used to keep construction economical. Keystone Architectural also provided tenant fit-up for a geological company occupying 2,000 square feet of the building. Cohoes Savings Bank is so pleased with the building that they intend to use the same design for their future branch bank buildings.
