[I]Cranes and construction vehicles on University Hill, in the last decade, have often marked the sites of future luxury apartment complexes.

Developments with names such as Campus West, 505 on Walnut and Copper Beech Commons target the area’s student population. Per-bedroom rents can cost residents an upward of $1,500 a month, and more buildings are on the way.

But as developers continue to build apartments on the Hill, new Syracuse Common Councilors representing neighborhoods near Syracuse University say future construction of similar projects needs to slow down.

“I feel like we have enough,” said Latoya Allen, who was elected last November as Common Councilor of the 4th district to represent some of the university-area neighborhood and parts of SU. “Because right now, it seems as if we don’t even have the means to fill the ones they’re building right now.”

The Marshall, an eight-story, 287-unit luxury student housing complex near Marshall Street, is expected to open in fall 2018. And another housing project, called Theory, is being built on East Genesee Street.

Allen’s sentiment, shared by some of the city’s local leaders, marks a departure from Mayor Ben Walsh’s support for residential development projects near SU and Interstate 81.
