Looks like some of the new downtown hotel projects may be started soon (from the Ithaca Journal):

The company building the long-awaited Ithaca Marriott on the east end of the Commons has chosen a contractor, who says it hopes to start construction in October. Urgo Hotels, the company behind the 159-room, 10-story Marriott planned for what’s mostly a small parking lot next to Madeline’s restaurant, has chosen William H. Lane Inc., of Binghamton, to build the hotel, according to an announcement from the construction company. Lane hopes to begin construction in October...........................

There's another new apartment building proposed for Collegetown. Not big, but urban infill nonetheless. Article from the Cornell Sun.

An update on several projects from the Ithacating in Cornell Heights blog. There's some even some proposed to start fairly soon. The old County Library site has had another developer drop out, but my favorite (DPI condos) is still in the running.
Here's the link: http://brancra.wordpress.com/2014/10...isky-business/ :D |
More info regarding the Carey Building rebuild (though I did notice the article says six stories when the developer actually is looking to make it seven). From the ithaca Times:

Looks like the branding for the Hampton Inn has changed. The project is listed in the first post as item #9. Hilton is rolling out a new brand, and Ithaca will be getting one (from the Ithaca Builds website):

A short article from the Ithaca Voice updating some of the new housing developments in and around Ithaca (a couple have already been covered in this thread, but what the heck):

Here's a link to some updates regarding Ithaca developments from the Ithaca Voice online:
http://ithacavoice.com/2014/11/dibel...s-move-ithaca/ Some interesting stuff (though I'm not sure why a drawing of the Chain Works District). |
I just hope this is not another false start. As the article's title states, this issue has been going on for a long time. From the Ithaca Journal:

Here's an article from the Ithaca Times which is a bit on the optimistic side regarding the expected hazardous material clean up which will be required for the huge Chain Works project (located between Ithaca College & downtown) on an old industrial site on South Hill. The entire project is guesstimated to take 10 years, but until the site is "clean" no true length of time can be given. I'm keeping my fingers crossed:

I know affordable housing is a huge issue around the country, and as everywhere else, Ithaca is trying to deal with it. An Ithaca Voice article has this headline:
Report: Ithaca home prices soar by ‘stunning’ 51 percent in decade Here's the link: http://ithacavoice.com/2014/11/repor...ercent-decade/ While this is second highest in the nation, the city is poised to increase market rate housing in a big way. (hopefully dense and tall) The hold-up is accommodating city/town/county rules requiring affordable units in new developments. Developers are having a tough time working the numbers and getting the financing. Kind of a no win situation. |
Thought I'd map out some of the downtown Ithaca projects.
For the east side of downtown: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7544/...20190d33_o.png The red outline is getting a Hilton Canopy Hotel http://ithacabuilds.com/wp-content/u...n-Ithaca-2.jpg The Green outline building is adding 5 floors https://brancra.files.wordpress.com/...rey_rev4_2.png The Blue outline is getting a Marriott Hotel https://brancra.files.wordpress.com/...ott_rev1_1.png The Yellow outline block is yet to have a redevelopment proposal, but it is zoned for a 120 foot height limit. Hope to see something grand there some day. For the southwest side: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7513/...63fb351f_o.png The Red outline is for an additional tower for the Hotel Ithaca http://ithacabuilds.com/wp-content/u...tel-Ithaca.jpg The Blue outline is for a new residential structure currently under construction http://ithacabuilds.com/wp-content/u...thacalofts.jpg |
Here's an entry from Ithacating in Cornell Heights which updates a couple of housing rehabs in the Collegetown neighborhood. I just don't understand the second building in the entry :koko: :
https://brancra.wordpress.com/2014/1...pdates-112014/ And here's another update from Ithacating on the Lofts @ Six Mile Creek (downtown): https://brancra.wordpress.com/2014/1...update-112014/ |
