About the Listing ELLS02 - 30228,30228

Welcome to one of the most thoughtfully reimagined spaces in the Hudson Valley—a 1960s warehouse transformed into a bold, design-forward environment in the heart of downtown Nyack. Conceived by a visionary design studio and brought to life by an architect attuned to sustainability, this building blurs the line between form and function, utility and inspiration. The exterior is clad in corrugated corten steel—a nod to its industrial past. Inside, the transformation is breathtaking; vast, sunlit spaces with 11-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, and oversized factory-style windows that invite the outdoors in. The space is soaked in natural light thanks to a series of dramatic south-facing, anodized aluminum “light scoop” skylights. These aren’t just beautiful design elements—they act as solar heaters in winter and provide a passive ventilation system in summer. The result is a space that not only feels pleasant to be in, but also is highly efficient in terms of low energy bills. The building was gut-renovated from top to bottom with a meticulous attention to detail; with new roof, electrical, plumbing, insulation, and a two-zone HVAC system to ensure modern performance. Two large glass-paneled garage doors provide access for large shipments and open the space to the outdoors. In addition the gallery and office spaces are divided by a firewall, making it possible to operate two distinct businesses or rental units side by side. Currently configured as a design studio with showroom, offices, two half baths and workshop, it could just as easily house a gallery, concept store, design agency or professional office. Flexible zoning provides the opportunity to convert this fabulous space into a dramatic one of a kind live/work residence. Set in Nyack, a riverfront village with a distinctly creative spirit, you're surrounded by artists, makers, entrepreneurs, and a lively downtown full of cafes, bookstores, galleries, and one-of-a-kind shops. Just 18 miles to the George Washington Bridge and only 7 miles from the Metro North Train to NYC, this is where city energy meets village soul. 70 South Franklin is not your typical commercial listing—it’s a building with a point of view, a structure that speaks the language of innovation, beauty, and purpose.
