Hudson Beach Glass

Investment Overview

A rare chance to own a piece of Beacon’s history and its vibrant present! This beautifully restored, 6,310 SF historic firehouse currently houses Hudson Beach Glass—a thriving, internationally renowned glassblowing studio and retail business. Both the building and the business are available for purchase, together or separately. Positioned at the entrance to Beacon’s Main Street, the property offers exceptional visibility, attracting both locals and a steady flow of tourists. Zoned CB (Central Business), provides a flexible canvas ideal for a gallery, retail concept, cultural hub, or working studio. The three-story brick building features multiple rooms across the first two floors, which currently function as gallery space, retail areas, workshop space, and private event areas. The third floor is undeveloped and used for storage, but also comes with approved plans for a 1,456 SF, two-bedroom, two-bath apartment, presenting an exciting opportunity for a live/work environment or rental income. Hudson Beach Glass was founded in 1984 by artists John and Wendy Gilvey, Michael Benzer, and Jennifer Smith. Over 40 years, they’ve built a loyal following and developed a distinctive hot-casting process that's internationally recognized. The business has experienced record sales in recent years and comes fully equipped with proprietary molds, formulas, all professional glassworking equipment, and a 14,000-contact mailing list that powers ongoing marketing and growth. The property includes five dedicated parking spaces and direct access to the city’s adjacent lot, including two ADA-accessible spots and two EV charging stations, plus 135 more free public parking spaces located within three-quarters of a mile. This is a truly unique opportunity to invest in a cornerstone of Beacon’s creative landscape—whether you choose to continue the legacy of Hudson Beach Glass or bring your own vision to life in one of the Hudson Valley’s most dynamic and sought-after towns.
