Gilbane Building Co.

Scope Of Work

Gilbane Development is developing The Laurel, a 1.63 acre site just outside the campus, transforming a surface parking lot into attractive, purpose-built student housing. The new six-story development contains 190 fully-furnished apartments with full-sized washer/dryer, stainless steel ENERGY STAR kitchen appliances, quartz kitchen countertops and flatscreen TVs. Apartments will be leased by the bed and professionally managed, with 24/7 emergency maintenance available. The Laurel will offer an array of amenities including a fitness center, a clubroom, study rooms, a study lounge, and an outdoor courtyard with BBQ grilling areas, hammocks, a large outdoor TV, and games. The development also includes a rooftop terrace with outdoor TV, seating, and a firepit. On-site parking will be provided at grade (39 spaces) and in the secure underground garage (152 spaces).

The Details

For students, the building is located just north of the Syracuse University campus, a short (10-minute) walk or drive to the university’s academic core and Schine Student Center, Carnegie Library and Carrier Dome sports stadium (home to the Syracuse Orange football, basketball and lacrosse teams). The project is conveniently near hospitals, shopping, restaurants and Marshall Street, the primary social destination for students.

The Laurel’s anticipated occupancy date is July 2023.
