The Project – A Historical Perspective
This site has been a retail destination since 1874.
The site’s ability to stay relevant thru:
1.) The closure of the canal(1925);
2.) Removal of the Bridge Street bridge:
3.) Renaming of all surrounding streets(multiple times) and;
4.) Annexation of this portion of the county as City of Syracuse(1886)
is a testament to the connectivity of this major intersection.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION – PART 1

COMMUNITY, ECO-FRIENDLINESS,
SUSTAINABILITY
- GEREBLOCK • 27 is a commercial project
providing retail, services, education, co-
working office space, and fringe-medical
facilities.
- Our project team is committed to this
being a project that is environmentally
friendly and socio-economically
beneficial to the community.
- We envision using this project as a
catalyst for growth in the Far West Side
by providing much-needed services to
the area.
- SUSTAINABILITY is a major aspect of
this project. Our goal is to reuse as
much of the existing infrastructure as
possible.
- Level 1 is our anchor Eden Fresh
Network, the start of a community
market(akin to an Amish market).
-Eden Fresh Network is a web-based
CSA, open-to-the-public market to meet
an urgent neighborhood need.
- Simultaneously, the CSA will create
visibility and appeal for the property,
attracting traffic from a wide radius
outside of the normal population range.
- Offerings are locally sourced specialty
items of high nutritional content, geared
towards health & nutrition.
- Other proposed level 1 uses include
sip-n-paint, barber, yoga, salon & a small
restaurant.
- Level 2 – The anchor of the floor will
include a 4,300 SqFt CoWorking space.
Flexible office space managed by the
property management firm Mike Barney
Management(outdoor rooftop space).
- The Brain Education Center is a
program funded by a Cornell University
grant.
- NeurodigitX designs & implements
games aimed at brain activity and
function.
- Level 3 is a great opportunity for a
growing office-based firm to expand with
available parking, bike storage and
views of Onondaga lake & the city
skyline.

OUR MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE,MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
• Agility
• Attention to detail
• Flexibility
• Pragmatism
Taking an ultra-conservative approach, we will be:
• “Jumping the market” – Avoiding the building of spaces not yet leasable in today’s
environment.
• Prioritizing constructing spaces for pre-project leases. To date, these include:
1. EDEN CSA (the precursor to grocery) – Level 1.
2. NeurodigitX – Level 2.
3. The Brain Education Center – Level 2.
4. Leasing vision for additional storefronts include a salon, brewing/distilling (on the canal
wall), bike shops, fitness (mixed use of the outdoor covered canal-side deck) and “like”
common services needed in this community.
Co-Working Spaces will operate in the existing offices on level 2, the former
headquarters of Strathmore Paints (following a cosmetic upgrade).
A Phased Development
Phase 1 to Include:
- Main vertical transportation incl Passenger
Elevator & Exit Stairwell(S).
- Common Areas for levels 1 & 2
surrounding leased spaces.
- Co-Working Space Level 2 South.
- Common and Tenant Mechanicals for
Main Boiler.
- Phase 2 to include heavy site work &
