78 Church Street Condominiums Topping Off Ceremony

78 Church Street Condominiums Topping Off

Topping Off Ceremony at 78 Church Street

Just before Thanksgiving, teams from Bonacio, Bonacio Construction, Bonacio Development, Bonacio Steel, and Julie & Co. Realty gathered at the site of 78 Church Street Condominiums for a Topping Off Ceremony. For those who may not know, a Topping Off Ceremony happens when the last steel beam is placed on a building. You can celebrate in many ways; we chose to have a beam signing. The steel beam was fabricated and painted white by Bonacio Steel and then signed by those working on the project, including employees from Bonacio, Bonacio Construction, Bonacio Development, Bonacio Steel, Julie & Co. Realty, and the steel erectors from our subcontractor, American Iron. See the pics below!

2024 Donations for Franklin Community Center’s Holiday Assistance Program

Bonacio Construction 2024 Donations for Franklin Community Center’s Holiday Assistance Program

It’s been another successful year participating in Franklin Community Center’s Holiday Assistance Program! This year, we “adopted” 6 local kids, and our savvy employee shoppers purchased everything on each child’s wish list. We also bought wrapping paper and 12 multi-use gift cards for the Franklin Community Center to distribute to other children and families within its programs.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone at Bonacio Construction, Bonacio Development, Bonacio Management, B&B Plumbing and Heating, and Julie & Co. Realty for their generous support in our donation and shopping efforts. We appreciate your generosity in helping make the holiday season bright for local families!

2024 is our 17th year of giving back to local families for the holidays and our 12th working with Frankin Community Center. This generous holiday tradition is a favorite of ours, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

Bonacio Development and Bonacio Construction Revitalizing Glens Falls’ South Street

Glens Falls Market Square & South Street Apartments

Work has begun on phase 1 of the Glens Falls Market Square project. Developed by Bonacio Development and being built by Bonacio Construction, Market Square will see significant redevelopment and renovation of South Street. In phase 1, the former Hotshots building at 45 South St. and the former Sandy’s Clam Bar at 41 South St. will be converted into mixed-use buildings with first-floor commercial space and residential apartments on the upper floors. Also in phase 1 is the redevelopment of 36 Elm St, a 3-story warehouse known as the “incubator” building, which will have apartments over first-floor space leased by the City of Glens Falls. In total, 18 apartments will be available across the three properties.

Phase 2, known as South Street Apartments, will see the construction of a new five-story building housing 70 mixed-income apartments, including 49 one-bedroom, 20 two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom units. Eleven apartments are reserved for individuals with special needs, and support services are provided by a local nonprofit, Community, Work & Independence, Inc. (CWI). Located at 31 South St., this space was formerly the South Street Community Pavilion site and a parking lot.
