Syracuse, N.Y. -- Given an abundance of vacant office space in downtown Syracuse, the developer of the $37 million City Center project planned to turn an entire floor of the former department store into apartments. But now those plans have changed.
Hayner Hoyt Corp. President Jeremy Thurston said demand for office space at City Center, in the former Sibley’s Department Store, has been greater than expected. As a result, he has decided to forgo building 24 apartments on the building’s second floor and instead make the floor available for office tenants.
