Downtown Living Tour 10th

ry a s r e Anniv

Thank you for joining us for the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Downtown Living Tour! It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the first event.This afternoon, we’re rolling out the welcome mat, giving you inside access to 10 of the most talked-about urban living spaces throughout Downtown Syracuse. From luxury apartments carved from the city’s most iconic, historic spaces – in many cases overlooking breathtaking views of Downtown’s skyline – to never-before-seen additions to our residential neighborhood, the decennial anniversary of the Downtown Living Tour will showcase some of the most-anticipated spaces to come online this year.

THEN: In 2006, about 2,200 people lived in Downtown Syracuse. NOW: Today, 3,250+ people call Downtown Syracuse home. FUN FACT: Residential development accounts for more than 70% of the $400 million invested in development throughout Downtown Syracuse since 2010.

Your tour begins on the ground floor of 110 Walton Street, our officially designated Tour Headquarters. Along your self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore occupied and available units throughout Armory, Clinton, Cathedral and Hanover Squares, the Heart of Downtown and a burgeoning new neighborhood known as Herald Square. In the Convention District, you’ll get your first walk-through of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown – a shining symbol of Downtown’s rebirth – before it officially opens to the public next month. If you’d prefer not to walk, don’t worry; We have a free shuttle running every ten-minutes or so, for your convenience. Just look for signs for the shuttle stops along your way. We also have one designated Tour Rest Stop for you to take a break, rest your legs and listen to live music from Colin Aberdeen at Herald Commons. Plus, for the first time in Living Tour history, we’re introducing two new bonus stops. You won’t want to miss the action over at Fayette Place or 538 Erie. For your convenience, you may drive your car to these locations or rent a bike as part of the Tour’s bike share program, stationed outside of tour headquarters and the bonus stops. As we celebrate 10 years of residential progress, we hope you’ll extend your Downtown visit. We encourage you to treat yourselves to dinner in Downtown, or visit unique boutiques and retail shops. See for yourself why Downtown Syracuse is a vibrant destination to live, work and visit!

214 West Jefferson Street

The 214

ou won’t find two units that look the same in The 214. That’s because the 102-year-old building has such a unique layout that it winds around the Jefferson Clinton Hotel at the corner of Jefferson and Clinton Streets. There are entrances on the three sides of the building. The 214 boasts a storied history. It first opened as the Wood C.H. Company Machinery in 1914. Over the years, it has played host to several nightlife establishments including The Phantom Club, Vinyl and most recently, Daisy Duke’s. However, the building is probably best remembered for being the home of the Onondaga Music Company, as this is how it’s still lovingly referred to among many circles throughout Central New York. Onondaga Music sold musical instruments, sheet music and provided music lessons until it closed in the 1990s. At one point, it was the oldest retail company in continuous operation in Syracuse.

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: 21 luxury apartments • One and two-bedroom units • 878–1,319 square feet • Rent ranges: $1,350 to $2,700/ mo • Located in Armory Square UNIQUE FEATURES: • 10’ ceilings • Open floor plans • Hardwood floors • Porcelain tile in bathrooms • Exposed brick & timber beams • Cherry wood cabinetry • Granite countertops • Stainless steel appliances • Washer & dryer in each unit • Individual HVAC • Energy efficient windows • Walk-In Closets • Pet Friendly: dogs and cats (one-time fee of $250) • Storage available in basement • Security Cameras • Paid parking available in the Center Armory and Clinton Street Garages CONTACT: Ploy Chapman C-MAND Development (315) 475-1111 lemongrasspc@gmail.com www.the214project.blogspot. com/p/residential-floors-2-4. html

Marriott Syracuse

Downtown

he Hotel Syracuse was the cultural center of Downtown and the city’s crown jewel and premier lodging option when it opened in 1924. Today, the community eagerly looks forward to a new dedicated Convention Center Hotel when the hotel officially re-opens as the Marriott Syracuse Downtown.

Designed by George B. Post & Sons, the Hotel Syracuse was built for $6 million in 1924. The beautiful 600-room, Renaissance Revival structure had everything that the nation’s leading hotel architects of the period could include. Currently, crews are in the final stages of a $71 million renovation process, taking great care to preserve history as the Hotel Syracuse enters its next chapter. The hotel’s original 600 guest rooms have been transformed into 261 larger guest rooms, melding the aesthetics of the past with modern amenities. The hotel lobby has been restored to its original grandeur, and a mural depicting life in Syracuse in the 19th century – once thought to be lost - will greet guests as they check into the hotel in the 21st century. The discovery of countless other historical treasures, forgotten under the dust of time, has delighted construction crews throughout the restoration process. From original, art-deco terrazzo floors, to polished Tiffany crystal on chandeliers, to the return of the protective gargoyles atop the hotel, every newspaper headline brings back a flood of memories. Plans call for five distinctive in-house restaurants and bars, including a full-service restarantant offering a modern but rustic bistro experience - named “Eleven Waters” as a nod to the region’s 11 Finger Lakes. There will also be a sports bar, a steakhouse, Café Kubal coffee shop and Hall of Fame Barber Shop all accessible from the ground floor. With 41,000 square feet of event space, including eight meeting spaces - one room will be available for non-profit community organizations to reserve free of charge - and three ballrooms, the Marriott Syracuse Downtown will be a sought-after destination for weddings, professional events and receptions. This 10th Anniversary of the Downtown Living Tour offers a rare opportunity to walk through the beautifully restored lobby and Persian Terrace of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown before it officially opens to the public in July.

TYPE OF SPACE: 19 suites and 261 guest rooms, including: • 155 king-bedded rooms • 87 double queen-bedded rooms • 400 - 600 square feet ROOM AMENITIES: • Executive Level, 49-inch HDTVs • 24-hour in-room dining • Internet (wired and wireless) • In-room safe HOTEL AMENITIES: • Airport shuttle • Business Center • Fitness Center • Pet-friendly Policy

205 South Salina Street

Salina Place

outh Salina Street is known as Downtown’s “Main Street.” Even dating back to the late 1800s, the commercial core of the city was found along South Salina Street, just south of the Erie Canal. With a growing business and professional class, Downtown Syracuse was a flourishing industrial center, a hub for banking and commerce. Bordered by the White Memorial Building on the north, home to the Syracuse National Bank at that time, and the McCarthy Building to the south, which housed a large dry goods store, the buildings in between featured businesses selling items ranging from boots, to hardware, to laces and fancy goods. It was 1885 when Charles E. Chappell and Francis E. Bacon decided to open a modest store along the block. 205 South Salina Street housed the popular C.E. Chappell & Son’s Department Store until 1979. In 1988, the Railroad Street Partnership – a company formed by a group of local businessmen to restore the White Memorial Building – began to transform what once was Chappell’s into a Class A office building. Salina Place was established in 1989.

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: 2 luxury, two-bedroom units • 1,095–1,245 square feet • Rent ranges: $1,570 - $1,860/ mo UNIQUE FEATURES: • Washer and dryer in each unit • Granite countertops, cherry cabinets and hardwood floors • Exposed brick walls • State-of-the-art heating and cooling systems controlled by tenant • Metro Fitness, a state of the art fitness facility, located off the lobby on the ground level • Pet Friendly: cats only • Key/card access into the building and elevators after business hours • Security cameras in the lobby • Multiple parking options for tenants including the Atrium Garage, owned by the landlord CONTACT: John Funiciello (315) 472-2020 ext 103 Email: johnf@jfrealestate.com www.jfrealestate.com jfrealestateco

Passersby will marvel at many unique architectural features along the exterior of Salina Place, but will have to venture inside to check out what many say is its most notable feature. A large skylight at the roof allows light to cascade down through the four story atrium, revealing a marble lobby floor. Fun Fact: The atrium was featured in the 1989 Central New York American Institute of Architects annual magazine cover. The building has since been fully restored, complete with the installation of state-of-theart mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sprinkler systems. It boasts wood molding on door casings, windows, base and ceiling areas. Currently, the owners of Salina Place are converting office space on the fourth floor into two, two-bedroom luxury apartments. Tour-goers who remember the White Memorial Building apartments from the 2013 Downtown Living Tour will find the Salina Place apartments have a similar look and feel. The units are expected to be ready for move-in this summer.

203 East Water Street

The Grange Building

he Grange Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Established in 1925, it served as the headquarters for Bresee Chevrolet Company until 1948.

Bresee, which was the oldest family-owned car dealership in the area until it was sold to Burdick in 2011, used the first floor of the Grange Building for its showroom and sales. Meanwhile, the upper floors were used as the corporate offices. The building was sold to National Grange Mutual Liability Company in 1949, which is how the building got the name it’s known by today. National Grange Mutual Liability occupied the space through 1959. From then, the building was occupied by a variety of professional and medical office tenants until Grange Realty Associates, LLC purchased it in 2010 for redevelopment. When the renovation was complete, the building was presented with the “Preservation Merit Award” by PACNY in 2013. The project included the first fire escape allowed in Syracuse in more than 50 years. Today, the building is home to three high-end luxury apartments, each featuring two-bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each unit includes stainless steel appliances, a gas fireplace, wood floors and beautiful views overlooking historic Hanover Square. This summer, the historic Grange Building will welcome The Sweet Praxis, a bakery café specializing in a seasonally-inspired menu, as its first floor tenant. The Sweet Praxis’ menu will feature baked goods using local and organic ingredients.

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: Three luxury apartments • Two-bedroom units • 1,500 square feet • Rent ranges: $2,200 – $2,400 /mo UNIQUE FEATURES: • High-end cabinetry • Stainless steel appliances • Two full bathrooms, including a custom master shower unit • Washer & dryer in each unit • Granite countertops • Gas fireplace • Individually controlled heating and cooling system • Internet services included in monthly rent • Convenient off-street parking available on-site (one space per unit) • Elevator, keypunch and telephone activated security system • Sprinkler and fire protection systems • On-site garbage removal CONTACT: Michael P.

1 Clinton Square

One Clinton Square

he Syracuse Savings Bank Building, now known as One Clinton Square, is one of the most recognizable buildings in Downtown’s skyline. When 21 luxury apartments come online this summer on the upper three floors, residents will be treated to remarkable views overlooking Clinton Square, one of the most iconic destinations in Syracuse. Bank of America will continue to occupy the first three floors. Designed in 1876 by Syracuse architect Joseph Silsbee, the building is a masterpiece of the Victorian Gothic Style. Evidence lies in the “hoodmolds,” or windows with pointed arches, and the roof peaks, often grouped in trios. The ornamentation was carved by Italian immigrant stonecutters in contrasting tan and red sandstone. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the time it was built, its 170-foot tower made it the tallest building in the city. It also housed the city’s first passenger elevator. In 1876, a ride to the top cost just 10¢!

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: 21 luxury apartments • 18 one bedroom, 3 two-bedroom • 590–1,025 square feet • Rent ranges: $885 - $1,580/mo UNIQUE FEATURES: • Washer & dryer in each unit • Granite counter tops, cherry cabinets and hardwood floors • State-of-the-art heating and cooling systems controlled by tenant • Fitness room • Great Clinton Square views • Pet Friendly: cats and dogs under 30 lbs. allowed • Keycard access into the building and elevators after business hours • On-site security during normal business hours • Cameras in the lobby • Multiple parking options for tenants including the Atrium Garage, owned by the landlord CONTACT: John Funiciello (315) 472-2020 ext 103 Email: johnf@jfrealestate.com www.jfrealestate.com jfrealestateco

Fun Fact: Joseph Silsbee was chosen to design the structure over fellow Syracuse architect Archimedes Russell. Silsbee had an office in the top of the tower until he moved to Chicago in the 1880s. Silsbee gave the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright his first job!

220 Herald Place

Herald Commons Coming in December, 2016

f walls could talk, Herald Commons – the officially designated rest stop of the 2016 Living Tour – would captivate tour attendees with the stories it knows. The building, soon to be the new home of 27 luxury apartments, was the home of the Herald-Journal for 43 years. Established in 1928, the brick building printed the Herald-Journal – which became the “Syracuse Herald-Journal” after merging with the Syracuse Journal in 1939, and The Post-Standard before both papers moved one block away in 1971.

Horn Companies purchased the building in 2015, and has made quick work to transform what was most recently office space into spacious, mostly two-bedroom units, which are expected to be ready for move-in by December. All units will include a large multi-functional room, which may serve as a den, office or guest room, with a beautiful glass wall. A total of 8,000 square feet of retail space is available – which could include a restaurant – available on the first floor, with an additional 8,000 square feet available for office space. In tribute to the building’s history, the Horn Companies plan to install a replica of the Syracuse Herald sign that sat on the building’s roof for many years. There is an additional buzz around the building, as neighboring businesses and properties come together to rebrand this northern-most section of Downtown, now considered part of Clinton Square, as its own neighborhood. The Herald Square neighborhood would encompass such establishments as Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Horn Companies Court, Krell Distributing, and Apizza Regionale, all located within walking distance of Herald Commons.

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: 27 luxury apartments • 25 two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units • 1,250-1,500 square feet • Rent ranges: $1,500 - $2,200/mo UNIQUE FEATURES: • Stainless steel appliances • Washer & dryer in each unit • High-end finishes including granite countertops • Spacious living room • Large multi-functional room (could serve as a den, office or a guest room) with a glass wall • Energy efficient windows • Skylights in units on the fourth floor • On-site parking: 135 spaces available for residents and their guests • Keycard access to the building and elevator • Pet Friendly: small cats and dogs • Access to open gym time at Horn Companies Basketball Court CONTACT: Chris Hornstein Horn Companies, LLC (315) 569-2280 Email: davehornstein@gmail.com www.HornCompanies.com horncompaniesllc

208 West Water Street

AMOS ADDITION

214 W Water St,

The Amos

ince the early 1800s, Clinton Square has served as the premier open space in Downtown Syracuse. In its early days, the location along the Erie Canal made it Syracuse, NY the city center for trade and transport, with surrounding blocks home to a mix of banks, retail, wholesale businesses, warehouses and manufacturing plants. The Amos Block was founded in 1878 along West Water Street. It was developed by Jacob Amos, who served as the Mayor of Syracuse from 1892 to 1896. With the Erie Canal running directly behind the building, the Amos Block held a starring role as a double-ender building during the Canal era. Goods were loaded and unloaded from the building’s upper floors onto canal boats. The building was constructed where the Empire State Mills Building once stood. Architect Joseph Silsbee – the same architect who designed the Syracuse Savings Bank – likely incorporated portions of the earlier structure into the Amos Block’s design.

TYPE OF LIVING SPACE: 41 luxury apartments • 21 studio, 9 one-bedroom units, 11 two-bedroom units • 500-1,560square feet • Rent Ranges: $1,000 - $2,000/mo UNIQUE FEATURES: • 10’ ceilings • Washer & dryer in each unit • Basic cable and WiFi included • Dry cleaning pick-up and delivery service available • Fitness center • Gated parking with security camera for residents • Secured entry with cameras and keypad • Pet Friendly CONTACT: Michael Lafrance (315) 383-2822 Email: mlafrance@granitedevco.com www.liveamos.com (Look for updates coming next month)

The Amos Block is Silsbee’s only known Romanesque commercial structure in Syracuse. Note the differences in the façades facing West Water Street and Erie Boulevard. Where the façade facing West Water Street features round-arched openings, variations in surface texture and brick corbelling at the cornice line, the Erie Boulevard side lacks such distinction. The thought is this was done to mimic the practical nature of the canal the building once overlooked. The Amos Block was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Renovated in 2006, The Amos Building was showcased on the inaugural Downtown Living Tour in 2007. Its first 19 residential apartments occupied the space where goods were once transferred. When construction on the new addition is complete this July, the building will house a total of 41 residential units. Tenants will notice the reduced sound levels and consistent energy costs due to a focus on heavy insulation. The Saltine Warrior and Sasha Hair Salon are located on the ground level in the original Amos Building. Additional retail space is available on the ground level of the expansion.

538 Erie Blvd. West

Bonus Stop A

538 Erie

his building was constructed in 1930, five years after the historic Erie Canal was in filled and replaced with an 80-foot-wide boulevard. Remnants of a railroad spur located behind the property provides a glimpse into the building’s industrial history. Just blocks from Downtown Syracuse, the four-story warehouse building was once the home of C.G. Meaker Food Co. warehouse, a grocery distribution facility. During the 1950s, the building served as a storage facility for Sears, Roebuck and Company. All-State Stamping Corporation, a metal parts manufacturer, assumed ownership in 1964, occupying the space until the company moved to Lakeland in 2001. In 2010, Syracuse city officials made a conscientious decision to add the building to the National Register of Historic Places in hopes that this prominent structure could be preserved for years to come. In the present-day, renovation has breathed new life into the space in the form of 33 market-rate loft style apartments which are expected to be ready for move-in June 1. Light monitors on the roof allow natural light to pour into the upper floor which offers units featuring 18’ ceilings.
