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.
