THE BANK LOFTS

118 W MAIN ST, RICHFIELD SPRINGS, OTSEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK

A once-in-a-century effort to preserve and repurpose a beloved
Main Street landmark building for a new generation

At THE BANK LOFTS, in Central New York, we’re not just reviving a landmark Main Street building. We’re investing in our community’s future.

Our award-winning plan to bring new life to the former First National Bank of Richfield Springs, New York, was born of community spirit, a respect for history, and a commitment to the future of our historic village’s downtown economy. Today, with the construction phase of our Phius Design Certified project complete, we remain committed to meeting the 21st-century challenges of an Upstate New York region that welcomes thousands of visitors every year to its rolling hills, fresh-water lakes, generations-old family farms, and cultural attractions. For our team, this is home.

Sensitively restored and sustainably retrofit to passive house design standards, THE BANK LOFTS building now provides nine long-term rental apartments, ground-floor commercial space, and proximity to outdoor adventures, family activities, world-class opera, and museums—all while shrinking our carbon footprint. There’s an exciting new energy on Main Street.

Come be a part of the change.
