“It’s unusual to have such a large site in close proximity to Cornell campus. It’s a rare opportunity,” Noah Demarest of STREAM Collaborative said.
Leasing for Collegetown apartments has been “comparable to last year,” according to Josh Lower ’05, developer of 307 College Ave.
“We are first and foremost going to get the Chapter House open and then we will continue on and focus on the apartments,” Dietz said.
The Chapter House’s architects presented a preliminary design plan to rebuild the iconic pub to the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission at their Sept. 22 meeting, taking the first step towards redevelopment of the fire-damaged property. The plans include a complete replacement of the 400-404 Stewart Ave. building that once housed the Chapter House on its first floor and apartments on its second and third floors. Bryan McCracken, historic preservation planner for the City of Ithaca, explained that initial plans to preserve parts of the original building were deemed unfeasible after a second inspection of the property.
