Rochester‑based developers introduced a new mixed‑use project on September 6, 2026 at the corner of Congress and Federal streets in downtown Saratoga Springs. The proposal calls for a five‑story building that would combine a hotel, residential units, a public restaurant and meeting space.
The hotel component is planned to contain 120 guest rooms spread across the five floors. In addition, the design includes 21 residential units intended for long‑term occupancy. Ground‑level space would be allocated to a public restaurant, while meeting rooms would be provided to serve both hotel guests and local events.
City officials noted that the development is aimed at expanding the downtown hospitality capacity and adding housing options within the central business district. By integrating a hotel with residential units, the project seeks to increase the variety of accommodations available to visitors and residents alike.
The proposal has been submitted to the city planning department and is currently under review. Planners will assess the project's compliance with zoning regulations, its impact on traffic and infrastructure, and how it fits within broader downtown development goals. The review process will determine whether the project proceeds to the next stages of approval and construction.
