SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The building at 125 E. Jefferson St. in Syracuse now bears the name of the Barclay Damon, LLP law firm on the structure’s upper exterior.
The building at the corner East Jefferson and South Warren Streets is currently known as Onondaga Tower.
It will be renamed Barclay Damon Tower once the Syracuse–based law firm moves in “later this year,” the organization said in a recent news release.

Barclay Damon will move its Syracuse operations into the space “this fall,” Renee Benda, the firm’s electronic-marketing coordinator, said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry.
The law firm’s current operations are located at One Park Place at 300 State St. in Syracuse.
The Barclay Damon firm resulted from last year’s combination of Syracuse–based Hiscock & Barclay, LLP and Buffalo–based Damon Morey LLP. It established a 275-attorney, “super-regional” law firm.
Barclay Damon will initially occupy four floors of the 15-story tower, or 50,000 square feet, in the building, with an additional 10,000 square feet scheduled for occupancy in the fall of 2017.
Onondaga Tower is the downtown building that is illuminated in a different color during the evening hours. Building tenant Ephesus Lighting added 22 light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures to the exterior of the building in 2014, which light up the structure.
The new Barclay Damon signage, which Ariella Signs, Inc. of Manlius created, is visible on four sides of the building. The lettering will appear blue during the day and change to white in the evening when the building is illuminated, Barclay Damon said.
CBD Companies, which owns the building, has already invested $9 million in the structure, with an additional $6 million planned to prepare the space for the Barclay Damon offices, according to the law firm.
CBD Companies is a partnership involving developers Charles Sangster, Courtney Wilson, and Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc., a Syracuse–based investment-brokerage firm.
