The Ruby Group renovates historic building in Port Jervis

GOSHEN — The Ruby Group, a Goshen-based project management, general contracting and consulting firm, cut the ribbon on its newly completed renovation of a historic building in Port Jervis.
The three-floor, 14,000-square-foot mixed-used building was purchased by The Ruby Group last year from a bank’s distressed-property portfolio.
“The Ruby Group is proud to have made such a dramatic impact on a building that is so visible in downtown Port Jervis,” said Peter Berman, CEO of The Ruby Group. “We believe this is an excellent example of the way to revitalize older properties in a downtown location. Not only is it built using green and sustainable products and practices, but it will now be a viable building with commercial and residential tenants that will contribute to the Port Jervis economy.”
The Ruby Group is the owner and developer as well as the construction firm that led the conversion of 19-23 Front St., Port Jervis, into a mix of affordable housing on the top two floors and modern commercial space on the first floor. The building has seven two-bedroom apartments and three commercial spaces.
The commercial spaces are suited for many uses, such as a medical office, small business office and retail site. There is currently approximately 1,500 square feet of commercial space available. This space can be configured in multiple ways to meet the needs of a single user or multiple users.
Additionally, V. Baras ARCHITECTS will anchor the building with its new office.
The building is on track to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certified and Energy Star. The LEED certification is internationally recognized for green building and design technology.
