Gilbane Development Company breaks ground on their newest student housing project near Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY
The 6-story student community will feature 190 units/466 beds of student housing and an underground parking garage with ample bike storage.
Located at 311 Forman Avenue, residents will live just four blocks from campus with easy access to the Schine Student Center, Carnegie Library, and SU football games at The Dome. Within a 10-minute walk, residents will be at the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Visual and Performing Arts, and College of Law among other core campus buildings. Additionally, the property is centrally located to the restaurants and shopping of Marshall Street. Located on three separate bus routes, residents will also be able to use public transportation to get directly to the University and downtown Syracuse.
With a fitness center, cyber-cafe, computer lab, and ample 24/7 study rooms, the property will include amenities that support busy SU students physically, socially, and academically. The courtyard includes a hot tub, outdoor kitchen, grilling area, pet area, and fire pit, allowing for plenty of fresh air community space. The top floor will feature a roof deck with beautiful views of Syracuse.
The property will feature studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. The fully furnished apartments will offer en-suite bathrooms, smart locks, in unit washer and dryer, walk-in closets (in select units), stainless steel appliances, granite counters, high-speed internet, and flat screen TVs. Apartments will be leased by the bed and professionally managed with 24/7 emergency maintenance. Management will hold resident events that support residents and cultivates an inclusive, dynamic community.
“We are so excited to be part of the vibrant Syracuse University community and this project has a special point-of-pride given that our VP of Development and Construction Manager are both proud SU alumni,” noted Karissa Schminky, Gilbane Development Company’s Director of Leasing. “We know the students of Syracuse will find living at this community – with its great location, amenities, and apartment finishes – the perfect complement to all that they’re achieving at the University. We’re looking forward to being part of their success and helping them make the very most of these exciting years in Syracuse.”
The property is scheduled to open for occupancy in August 2023. Leasing will begin in the Fall of 2022 at the Leasing Office located at 802 S. Crouse Ave.
