Canandaigua's Long-Abandoned Building Transformed into Residential Housing
A long-abandoned building in Canandaigua, New York, known as the former Labelon building, is undergoing a significant transformation into residential housing. Joel Barrett, managing partner of 43 North Real Estate, is leading the project, which aims to convert the structure into 51 residential units. The building, located at 10 Chapin St., was originally constructed in 1920 and has been vacant since the Labelon company filed for bankruptcy in 2002. The redevelopment plan includes a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, with rents ranging from $1,500 to $2,750. Additionally, five or six units will be designated as workforce housing. The project also features a landscaped, park-like area for residents, providing easy access to Main Street shops and restaurants. The initiative is expected to take 12 to 14 months to complete.
