Introducing BUILT 2021 Honoree, Jeff Buell

Dear Friends in Preservation,

On behalf of Historic Albany Foundation, I would personally like to invite you to join me on the Honorary Committee for the Foundation’s 20th Annual fall fundraising event BUILT: Albany’s Architecture Through Artist’s Eyes to be held Thursday, November 4 through Sunday, November 7, 2021.

This event will be a combination of a series of cocktail parties, as well as gallery hours that will be free and open to the public. The event will take place at the newly-opened hotel, The Argus, on Thurlow Terrace in Albany.

At Redburn Development Partners our work focuses on the rehabilitation of historic buildings in the Capital Region, many of them vacant, large-scale commercial spaces that have been left behind. Redburn’s mission of socially responsible development, historic preservation, and sustainability with a commitment to the community mirrors much of the work that Historic Albany Foundation does every day.

I personally know that HAF’s mission to preserve and protect buildings that have architectural, historic or civic value in Albany- in addition to operating the Architectural Parts Warehouse- is no easy feat. Much of the advocacy work they do is unseen and sometimes unrecognized, but they do have a tremendous impact on keeping our built environment relevant, safe and accessible to our community. That is why I am supporting BUILT, and am asking you to support HAF’s good works as well.

Joining the Honorary Committee notes your early support with your name(s) in the event invitation, as well as the opportunity to enjoy first in-person viewing of the artwork, and the ability to bid before the general public. You can join simply by visiting this page no later than Friday, September 9, 2021, or by calling the HAF offices with your credit card. If you have any questions about the event, please contact Pamela Howard at (518)465-0876, or phoward@historic-albany.org.

Thank you for your consideration, as it is the early support of Honorary Committee members, like yourself, who can help to ensure BUILT’s success!

Sincerely,

Jeff Buell, Principal Redburn Development
