201 S. Main Street - North Syracuse, NYNorth Syracuse, NY Commercial real estate brokers Michael Arcuri and Ozzie Crisalli of Syracuse Realty Group, LLC purchased a 1950s vacant building and transformed it into a mixed-use development with 16 apartments and two commercial spaces. The 3-story, 17,500 s/f building is located at 201 S. Main St. Project cost was $1.4 million.
Their initial plan was to fill the ground level of the building with office space, understanding the community was key to the creation of North Syracuse Village Commons. Syracuse Realty Group, LLC took into consideration the values, the goals, and the attitudes of those living in the area and, after evaluating these, developed a plan for nine one-bedroom units with one full bathroom, seven two-bedroom units with two full bathrooms, and two commercial spaces on the ground level. Arcuri and Crisalli knew the 16 apartments in their newly renovated building would have to be similar to downtown apartments — so, upscale apartments they would be.
The building was designed with six apartments each on the second and third floors of the building and four additional apartments on the ground level. The interior of the building was completely demolished. Mechanical upgrades to electrical, plumbing and HVAC were made so that each apartment would have its own furnace, air conditioning and hot water system. The building has energy-efficient windows and security cameras at all entrances with key-fob controlled doors.
The finishes in each apartment include granite counter tops, stainless steel GE Profile appliances, a washer and dryer, and a mix of carpet, ceramic and luxury vinyl flooring. The apartments range from 775 to 1,100 s/f. The ability of Syracuse Realty Group, LLC to meet the needs of North Syracuse comes from the close relationship they have built with each other and with members of the community.
The project is now a home for young professionals and baby boomers, and a “wonderful addition to the neighborhood” as one community member announced. When bringing together seemingly small things, great things can be accomplished.
