Private developer may build 260 apartments by Carrier Dome
A new apartment complex could rise for Syracuse University students near the Carrier Dome.
Plans for the $27 million apartment complex have been submitted by EDR Syracuse LLC, a creation of Allen and O’Hara Development Co., of Memphis, Tenn., according to an article published by The Post-Standard on Wednesday.
Although plans have been submitted, the proposal has not been finalized, said Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president of public affairs.
The complex would have 260 units and include studio, one-person and two-person apartments for graduate students and College of Law students, according to The Post-Standard article.
It would be located three blocks west of the Dome and two blocks west of Dineen Hall, a new College of Law building that will be constructed in the Raynor parking lot, according to the article.
‘The goal is to build attractive housing for law school students who typically live off campus anyway,’ Quinn said.
The new apartments would give law school students housing options that are close to campus, he said.
The apartments will be built by the same company that built University Village Apartments, Allen and O’Hara. This is also the company working with Hueber-Breuer Construction Co. to build Centennial Hall, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s first residence hall.
The two companies will not be working together for the new apartment complex, said Andy Breuer, the principal of Hueber-Breuer. He said Allen and O’Hara will be working with Holmes, King, Kallquist and Associates, the same company it worked with during the UVA construction.
Allen and O’Hara could not be reached for comment by The Daily Orange.
