Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

Archbold Gym was built in 1908 with money donated by John D. Archbold.

Since it's being gutted and totally renovated, is it fair game for SU to sell the naming rights to a new sponsor?

It has. The Barnes family donated $5m for the recreation part of the Arch and I believe with carry their name in some way.

It'll be known as the Barnes Center at the Arch, so I assume that means the building itself will retain the Archbold name.

You're picking a fight with the wrong guy on this.

Didn't realize I was fighting, just having a friendly debate. I have a family member who specializes in contract law, intellectual property, infringement, and various other generally related fields. We had some interesting conversation/debate over the past holiday weekend.

Genesee Grande hotel in Syracuse sells for $16.6 million, changes coming

$62M apartment building proposed in Syracuse University area; tax breaks sought

Don't see any design renderings, but I'm assuming it will be another cheap looking, soulless apartment building. There won't be any character left on Genesee Street once developers are done with it (developers already took care of a lot of it with those hideous medical/office buildings built in that area in the 80's).

Downtown needs more density to create an urban feel. By density I mean aesthetically modern and pleasing 120-250 ft buildings. Nothing to obstruct the view of the state building. But just to fill in the skyline. With the rise in urban population and the return of business to downtown, that time may be nearing in the coming years/decade

I dream

While we're on the subject, now that it's public: Exclusive: $100M plan to transform public housing

Not the best writing, but this is a very exciting project.

Good read, thanks for the share.

At first glance, it's an ambitious plan but a much-needed one. Hopefully things like this really make it clear that the Community Grid is the only option for 81.

Once they get this one done (? - fingers crossed), they need to do something similar near Onondaga Park, which is a neighborhood trying to save beautiful old homes and would be worthy of a similar investment, or maybe South Ave in Elmwood, where it intersects Valley Drive.

 

[skurey]

They're doing more construction on 31 after the train tracks and before Target. Is it going to be a 3rd car dealership in the last 2 years?

It would be nice if Carrier came home.

There is no home to come back to

There is some private investment happening on W. Onondaga St. adjacent to downtown, so hopefully it will start to creep further out and some things happen over there. Pathfinder Bank just announced they are renovating an old mansion into a branch office with community space. Also, from that article:

"Pathfinder’s project is part of a bigger redevelopment of the corner. Salt City Coffee opened in a renovated 1860s house across the street from the mansion in 2017. Next to the coffee shop, Strathmore Community Development Group LLC plans to redevelop the vacant Trinity Episcopal Church, adjoining parish house and the William J. Gillette House into a craft brewery, restaurant and multiple mixed-use office and residential spaces called Trinity Place."

Is it this project, possibly?

Texas Roadhouse, Starbucks coming to new development in Clay

It is, I live off Soule Rd about 1/4 mile from 31. There was a moratorium on building anything for quite a while until about 2 -3 years ago. Now we have 2 new car dealerships, car wash, Hotel, body shop and TX Roadhouse is coming along with I am sure a ton more stuff as there is still a ton of land not used on 31.

Between Fox Chevy and Pathfinder Bank and between Pathfinder and Kohls.

 

[skurey]

As long as it's not a dealership I'm happy with it

 

[CuseOnly]

I like Texas Roadhouse...what we need is a Best Buy...err wait...

Speaking of W. Onondaga St, the Syracuse Land Bank just put out an RFP for this beautiful old mansion:

What a beautiful house. What a shame it is in this shape today.

By the way, i recommend salt city coffee to anyone who’s not tried it.

Shame they were recently burglarized but their patrons rallied in support.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you may still be able to access these articles in incognito mode or if you clear your browser's cache. Perhaps they have patched that up though so it's no longer the case?
