A lot of people think of it in terms of the track, but Saratoga means a lot to so many people because of all of the tourist attractions and places to visit that are close by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s offering plan has been submitted to the state Office of the Attorney General. No sales contracts can be signed until the plan is approved.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the interim we have submitted and received approval to do test marketing which is what we\u2019ve been doing. Right now, we have the ability to discuss with people our plans, and we hope to have approval from the Attorney General for the offering plan in July,\u201d said Dubb. \u201cWe will put together brochures, displays, and a web site that will show the different the floor plans and all of the amenities not only within the apartments but within the buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Condominium owners will have access to the amenities and five-star service available to guests of the Adelphi Hotel. As part of the $75 million redevelopment project, The Adelphi and the former Rip Van Dam will be connected and operate as one entity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will be able to get room service, maid service, and even turn-down service,\u201d said Dubb. \u201cYou will be able to arrange that through the hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the 79 condominiums, the building will include luxury hotel rooms, underground parking, a spa, a state-of-the-art gym, meeting rooms, and a business center.\u00a0The condominiums and new hotel rooms will be finished to the same high standards as the hotel rooms at The Adelphi.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Dubb, seasonal condominium residents will have the opportunity to earn an income stream from their property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they want to get income from the apartment when they aren\u2019t using it, we will be able to rent it out through the hotel. They never have to be involved with whoever is renting it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Available condominiums vary in size from studios to three-bedroom, and the building will also feature two penthouse units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think we will have models for people to look at this coming fall, and people who buy from plans and don\u2019t wait for the models can buy at pre-construction pricing,\u201d said Dubb. \u201cWe are hoping for move-ins in spring of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the addition of the new hotel rooms in the adjoining building, the Adelphi will expand its number of rooms from 32 to 65. Thirteen of the additional rooms will become available by June 1, and the remaining 20 rooms are expected to be ready for occupancy by Aug. 1.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Christine Graf When business partners Michael Dubb and Larry Roth began redevelopment of the historic Rip Van Dam in downtown Saratoga Springs, they planned to build apartments in the 200,000-square-foot building.\u00a0 After conducting extensive market testing, they changed course and now plan to market the 79 available units as condominiums. \u201cIt became apparent to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":38655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
