We just hit "send" on our June Market Brief, and if you have capital tied up in Upstate NY land or development, you’re going to want to check your inbox.

We broke down a massive regulatory shift: the NYS DEC officially declined to appeal the court ruling that struck down its 2025 freshwater wetlands expansion. The state approval process has immediately reset to the previous rules, opening up a major (but temporary) window for stalled projects. The consensus among the local engineers, land use attorneys, and developers we’re talking with is clear: this is a gift, but the clock is ticking.

We also highlighted 4 immediate turnkey lease/sublease options, from Exit 10 to Exit 12, for operations that need to beat the construction red tape entirely.

If you didn't receive the brief in your inbox this morning, drop a comment below or send me a DM with your email and I’ll get you added to the list.

Finding a commercial space that perfectly fits your exact footprint is tough, but having a landlord who is willing to customize the space makes a huge difference.

We have a great leasing opportunity right now at 313 Ushers Road, off Exit 10. The property has some major site improvements lined up, including a brand-new parking lot coming soon. On top of that, the landlord is fully ready to update and retrofit the interior space for the right user—including splitting up the layout if you don’t need the entire square footage.

It’s an incredibly accessible location right off the Northway, making it a great spot for a professional, medical, or service-based user who needs convenience and visibility in the southern Saratoga County market.

If you've been looking for a space you can actually tailor to your operations rather than forcing your business into a bad layout, let's connect and look at how we can carve this up for you.

Was driving up the Northway last week, and as I got off Exit 16 into Wilton, I had to pull over off Ballard Road. You literally can't miss it—the cranes are officially up over the trees at the new WSWHE BOCES campus. (Snapped a few progress pics, which I've included here!).

For us at Continuum, this project is the definition of a full-circle deal.

Here’s the backstory: Dean and his partner originally held this 45.5-acre parcel as raw, strategic dirt. We eventually brokered the land sale to a developer who is bringing this campus to life, working with Tyler Culberson at Standard Brokerage as the buyer's rep.

Seeing this site actually come out of the ground puts the sheer scale of the project into perspective:

The Scope: A massive $109M, 290,000 SF footprint spanning three state-of-the-art buildings.

The Impact: When doors open in Fall 2027, it’s going to centralize operations for 31 local school districts, supporting around 1,500 students and 400 permanent jobs.

You spend a lot of time in commercial real estate looking at site plans, surveys, and empty lots. There’s honestly no better feeling as a broker than watching a piece of land you've known for years turn into a community asset that will drive workforce development in Saratoga County and the wider region for decades.

Incredible to see this one finally taking shape. 🏗️

I had a couple of tour days last week in Central New York. It was great to get on-the-ground market data outside the core Capital Region.

One notable aspect was the low vacancy rate for commercial spaces, despite the limited inventory. Many older properties have significant potential but require the right investment to be brought back online. For example, in Gloversville, initiatives like the Gloversville Revitalization and Improvement Program (GRIP) are actively contributing to bridging that capital gap and driving the area's revitalization.

ICYMI: Dean and I sent out our May Market Update to clients yesterday, and I wanted to share the biggest reality check from the newsletter here.

The window for 2026 occupancy is closing right now.

The market is moving incredibly fast, but with an ever-lengthening municipal approval process and an ever-shifting regulatory landscape, it's a game of "hurry up and wait."

Here is the hard truth: If your project isn't under contract by Memorial Day, your plans are getting pushed back, and you are probably not cutting a ribbon in 2026.

The rules for what can and cannot be built are literally shifting overnight—especially with recent rulings on the DEC Wetland Act.

Dean and I see this firsthand every day. If you have a site plan sitting on your desk and need a clear, realistic path to approval, let's talk.
