10th Anniversary

Welcome to the 10th Anniversary Edition

Downtown Living Tour

Thank you to our sponsors

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.

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 Down-town 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 destina-tion to live, work and visit!

Tour Headquarters:1Officially designated as Tour Headquarters for the 10th Anniversary Edition of

the Downtown Living Tour, 110 Walton Street is one of the most-anticipated apartment buildings to come online this year in Downtown Syracuse. Once

home to the Hurbson Company furniture warehouse and showroom, the building was established in 1920.

Right now, crews are working to transform the building into a mixed-use space featuring 14 upscale apartments and retail space. When the project is complete, there will be three one-bedroom units and one two-bedroom unit on the second, third and fourth floors. A loft-style apartment will occupy a portion of the third and fourth floor, complete with a spiral staircase in the unit. The fifth floor will be home to a penthouse suite. Luxury furnishings are available at an additional cost. Ask Bethany Schneeberger for more information.

The apartments are expected to be finished early this summer, with a target move-in date planned for July 1, 2016.

There is a total of 4,500 square feet of available real estate space on the first floor, accessible from a separate entrance on West Fayette Street.

From exposed brick, to stunning views overlooking Armory Square, 2016 Living Tour guests will discover the unique ways each unit maintains the building’s charms when they walk through a furnished unit on the third floor.

2 The 214214 West Jefferson Street

You 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.

The 214 is now home to six one-bedroom units and 15 two-bedroom units, spread over three floors. It officially opened

for leasing in the fall of 2015.

Showoffs Boutique and Projex214 occupy retail space along the first floor on the West Jefferson Street side.

Faithful Downtown Living Tour attendees might remember walking through the building when it was first featured as a Tour Stop under construction during the 2014 Living Tour and will be impressed with this “Before and After” transformation.

3Downtown

The 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.

6South 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.

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-the-art 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.

7The Grange Building203 East Water Street

13

The 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.

One Clinton Square1 Clinton Square

The 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¢!

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!

Herald Commons220 Herald Place

If 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.

The Amos208 West Water Street

10AMOS ADDITION 214 W Water St, Syracuse, NY Since 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 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.

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 trans-ferred.

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 Erie538 Erie Blvd. West

This 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.

As a nod to the building’s industrial legacy, all apartments feature polished concrete floors, and original concrete mushroom columns found throughout the building have been left exposed.

Tenants will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Downtown Syracuse from the roof-top terrace. Plans also include a clubhouse which will provide tenants with access to a gathering room connecting to a patio with grills and tables.

A total of 10,000 square feet of retail space is available on the first floor.

@FayettePlace

Built where a medical equipment supply building once stood, Fayette Place stands four stories tall and was designed for the busy young professional, graduate student or empty nester looking for an all-inclusive living experience.

The new building, which includes 39 one-bedroom luxurious suite apartment units, is ready for occupancy now! Rent includes a spacious open-floor plan, digital cable television, high-speed internet, heat, central air conditioning and water. There is also a free bike storage room for all tenants in the building.

A conference room is available exclusively to Fayette Place tenants for meetings, group study sessions or any other business/study-related purposes. Coin-op Laundry services are located on the first floor in the building.

Location, location, location: Fayette Place is just a five-minute walk to Downtown Syracuse, and a 10-minute walk to SUNY Upstate and the University Hill neighborhood. The property is located along the Connective Corridor bus route which extends from University Hill to Downtown Syracuse.

The apartments are a great fit for those associated with the University Hill Community, including graduate students, young professionals and employees of the three hospitals located on the University Hill. Café Kubal will open its fifth Syracuse location in the first floor retail space this summer.
