For a decade now, the vacant lot at 370 Burkhart St. S.E. in Albany has made an appearance on this website just about once a year. Maybe one of these years something will actually happen there.

This Albany lot proves impossible to sell
Written October 13th, 2020 by Hasso Hering
What has happened with the empty lot and water tank at 370 Burkhart St. since the Albany City Council voted to sell it last winter? Not much. The property remains as unused as it has for decades.

‘Affordable housing’ — Not on this lot
Written June 15th, 2019 by Hasso Hering
A surplus city-owned lot at 370 Burkhart Street was considered for developing “affordable housing” in Albany. But the idea foundered on the likely cost of clearing the property of a decommissioned water reservoir.
