SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Those who enjoy the annual Downtown Living Tour in Syracuse should plan for a Saturday in mid-to-late September.
The Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc. tells CNYBJ that it will hold this year’s tour in September for the second straight year. The organization will determine the specific date as the event draws closer and will announce ticket information at that time.
The Downtown Committee held the Downtown Living Tour on Sept. 26 of last year after it had been originally scheduled for May 16 in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.
On its website, the Downtown Committee describes the tour as one that “markets the uniqueness and diversity of residential units in downtown. The tour offers something for everyone, from young professionals and empty nesters looking to live downtown, to architectural students and those interested in historic preservation, interior design, urban living and more!”
As of June 2, the downtown Syracuse population stands at about 4,200 residents, according to data that the Downtown Committee provided to CNYBJ. The downtown area currently boasts 2,553 housing units, including both apartments and condos.
In 2021, crews completed three additional projects that added 26 housing units above the Salt City Market and a total of 214 housing units within Washington Place, including studio units, loft units and a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units.
Washington Place is located at 300 E. Washington St., across from Syracuse City Hall and the Senator John H. Hughes State Office Building.
An additional 18 units became available at the Addis Building in 2020, and they were included along with Washington Place as part of the Downtown Living Tour last September, the Downtown Committee said. The Addis Building is located on South Salina Street in Syracuse near the Marriott Syracuse Downtown.
