Albany County to Negotiate Senior Housing on Former St. Rose Campus
What happened
Albany County Executive Dan McCoy announced that the county will proceed with negotiations for senior affordable housing on the former St. Rose campus. The project involves a four-story luxury apartment building on the northeast corner of the former campus. Jankow Companies is offering $2.5 million to build 160 one- and two-bedroom apartments for middle-income seniors.

Why it matters
The project is intended to address a shortage of senior housing options in Albany. Officials suggest that bringing residents back to the area could support Pine Hills businesses and restore daily activity to the property.
Albany County leadership appointments were made as of July 27, 2026, including the Mayor, Executive, and Commissioner of Mental Health.
