Landmark Properties, a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in development, construction, investment management, and operation of high-quality residential communities, together with W5
The partnership has commenced the development of The Standard at Syracuse, a 600+ bed, 210-unit student housing community at 910 Madison Street and will preserve the Temple Concord sanctuary, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the project.
“Beyond the remarkable location on the north side of the Syracuse University campus, The Standard at Syracuse will provide much-needed housing for students at Syracuse University,” said Wes Rogers, President and CEO of Landmark Properties. “Our work on the ground, with the city of Syracuse and the surrounding community stakeholders combined with our vertically integrated design and construction platform, has set us on a course to create an amenity-rich lifestyle experience for students. The preservation of the existing sanctuary structure also adds a distinctive historical element to the project, while maintaining the character of the surrounding neighborhood. We are excited to have closed our seventh investment with W5 Group.”
“The Standard at Syracuse typifies our Innovative Living investment strategy and will provide a green, state of the art, bed-bath parity, community oriented highly amenitized flexible living solution for students,” said Ralph Winter, founder of W5 Group. “Syracuse University is a leading private R-1, Power 5 university with a long history of academic, research and sporting excellence. Micron Technology’s plans to build a $100 billion semiconductor in the area will serve to further bolster Syracuse University. We are excited about the Syracuse University’s partnership with Micron to support workforce development and innovation in the semiconductor industry and the University’s plans to increase Engineering and Computer Science enrollment by 50% and the addition of 50 new faculty members and a doubling of research expenditures by 2028.”
The Standard at Syracuse will be steps from the Marshall Street entertainment district and the 76-acre Thornden Park with its pool, rose garden, and outdoor amphitheater. It will include a mix of floor plans ranging from studios to five-bedroom floorplans at a variety of price points, appealing to a broad group of students. Every fully furnished unit will include private baths, hardwood-style flooring throughout, in-unit washers and dryers and plantation blinds. Apartments will also feature gourmet kitchens appointed with quartz countertops, designer cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. Select units will include private balconies.
Landmark Properties plans to preserve the original Temple Concord structure – built in the early 1900s – and incorporate it into The Standard at Syracuse by creating 4,750 square feet of distinctive amenity space for residents.
The Standard at Syracuse will be Landmark Properties’ second student housing delivery in New York, the first being The Station Buffalo, proximate to the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York.
