The front archway of this building shares its Joy and well wishes with the Capital Region. The bright and welcoming color palette mimics the rich natural environment of Upstate New York in its transition from sunrise to moonlight. No matter what the day brings, when you leave or return, Joy will always be there with a positive message of encouragement. Troy Academy Lofts opens its doors and amenities to the creatives, working professionals, out of state residents and pet lovers. The building preserves its historic features with all modern appliances. Some of the apartments still have original chalkboard walls from when it was the St. Augustines school.
