Full Description
Multi-Purpose Commercial Facility & Family Entertainment Hub For Sale: U.S. Route 9, Hyde Park, NY 12538
Massive 22,853 SF Destination Venue with High-Volume Road Frontage along the Albany Post Road Corridor
CR Properties Group is pleased to present a premier, high-capacity commercial acquisition opportunity situated within the mid-Hudson Valley’s most heavily traveled tourist and educational corridor: U.S. Route 9 (Albany Post Road), Hyde Park, NY 12538. Offered at an investment purchase price of $1,250,000, this sprawling 22,853 SF multi-purpose facility (Class C Building) represents a rare infrastructure asset built to handle high-occupancy corporate events, sports training, hospitality operations, community assemblies, or a flagship regional family entertainment center.
Constructed in 1978, the building features an expansive clear-span architectural layout that allows for extreme adaptive reuse. The structure has a proven track record as an iconic community landmark—historically housing large-scale indoor roller skating, youth athletics, arcade centers, and private event banquet halls. Supported by a robust local traffic count exceeding 19,000 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) vehicles, this asset is perfectly positioned to capture a mix of regional consumer traffic, institutional student populations, and seasonal historic tourism.
Direct Integration with Global Tourism & Historic Landmark Demand
The property is situated directly on the U.S. Route 9 commercial spine, placing it immediate neighbors with a collection of historic estates and national parks that attract millions of affluent travelers to Hyde Park every year:
-
Presidential & Gilded Age Tourism: The site sits minutes from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum, the Val-Kill Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, and the breathtaking Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. These global landmarks feed a continuous stream of out-of-town visitors directly past this facility's front doors.
-
Upstate Heritage Destinations: Positioned down the road from the Mills Mansion at Staatsburgh State Historic Site, the Dinsmore Golf Course, and the sprawling Dutchess County Fairgrounds in neighboring Rhinebeck, providing exceptional synergy for cross-promotional regional advertising.
Surrounded by a World-Class Higher Education Ecosystem
A massive commercial advantage for any future indoor recreation facility, athletic complex, corporate training site, or decentralized campus center is the property's immediate proximity to five elite universities and institutes. This geographic layout grants an incoming business direct access to tens of thousands of local undergraduate students, faculty members, and visiting family populations:
