— New Development to Bring 282 Apartments to Pyramid’s Kingston Collection; Additional Projects in Development Across Portfolio —
Syracuse, NY – Pyramid Management Group, one of the largest private real estate developers in the Northeast, has embarked on its long-term plan to bring innovative and diversified offerings such as residential housing within the orbit of the company’s enclosed shopping centers.
Earlier this month, Trammell Crow Residential officially broke ground on its 282-unit residential development adjacent to the Kingston Collection mixed-use complex in Kingston, Massachusetts. When completed, the new residential complex will bring much needed market-rate rental housing units to the area. Construction will be completed in three phases over the next 18 to 22 months.
Pyramid, which owns and manages the Kingston Collection, now plans to replicate this formula throughout its portfolio as the popularity of ‘live/work/play’ destinations continues to increase among the U.S. population, and especially within the Millennial and Empty Nester demographics. It follows a similar diversification strategy successfully executed by Pyramid that also brought the addition of hospitality to its Destiny USA flagship property in Syracuse, New York, and Crossgates in Albany, New York.
“The development of a residential complex at our Kingston Collection is really just the beginning of a much broader, portfolio-wide diversification strategy to bring popular, exciting new uses, such as residential, into the mix with our existing assets. We are pleased to be moving forward with other residential projects across our portfolio,” said Stephen J. Congel, CEO of Pyramid Management Group. “Staying ahead of the curve is the key to our success and resilience as a company.”
Data from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) confirms that retail destinations located near densely-populated residential buildings tend to benefit from higher levels of foot traffic and sales per square foot. Industry analysts also expect that the addition of new residential developments to existing retail destinations such as open-air, enclosed and strip malls will increase over the next few years.
