Overview
A rare and distinctive offering with true Olympic provenance.
The Austrian Welcome Center for the 80 Olympic Games and served as a lively gathering place for athletes, spectators, government officials, sponsors, and revelers during the XIII Olympic Games in Lake Placid. In more recent years, the property has been home to a vibrant coffeehouse and restaurant, as well as a sporting goods store, further cementing its role as a community and visitor hub.
Offering exceptional visibility and exposure for a wide range of commercial or mixed use concepts, this three parcel assemblage includes approximately one half acre of open land, ideal for future development, expansion, or additional parking. Inside, the dramatic post and beam ceiling design is both architecturally distinctive and quintessentially Adirondack.
A fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar provide immediate flexibility for a coffee shop, bakery, wedding or event venue, reception space, offices, arts or continuing education programming, cooking classes, live music, gallery installations, or a thoughtfully curated combination of all the above.
