BATH, N.Y. — Pike Construction Services says its crews are making major headway in renovating and transforming the former Dana Lyon Elementary School building in the village of Bath (Steuben County) into the Dana Lyon Apartments.

It’s a nearly 50-unit, mixed-use development that will include affordable and supportive housing.

In a Dec. 3 Facebook post, titled “Exciting progress at the Dana Lyon Apartments,” the Rochester–based construction company said, “This former school is well on its way to becoming beautiful new homes. Sidewalks and binder are in place for winter, most windows are installed, and exterior masonry restoration is nearly done. Playground features and permanent fencing are also wrapping up before the cold hits.”

Pike continued, “Inside, finishes are moving fast — first apartments are almost ready for final walkthroughs! Still on track for a Summer 2026 opening.”

Project background

In November 2024, the office of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced it had awarded Providence Housing Development Corporation $1.9 million to develop eight units of permanent supportive housing in Bath for individuals with serious mental illness or substance-use disorder who have experienced homelessness.

Part of a larger project, the Dana Lyon Apartments involves the preservation and adaptive reuse of the elementary school building. It will offer on-site laundry facilities, service office space, a management office, exercise room, community room, playground and outdoor greenspace, per the announcement. The completed project will also feature commercial space that will be leased for the operation of a community arts center. Support services will be provided by Catholic Charities Steuben/Livingston on site and through other community organizations via linkage agreements, the governor’s office said.

Pike Construction Services offers pre-construction, construction, design-build, self-perform, development, and facility services, according to its website. The firm has additional offices in Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Buffalo, as well as Orlando, Florida, according to its website.
