Christine O’Connell More discusses exciting real estate developments in Central New York with Matt Masur and special guest Mike Durkin.
In this episode of The Details in the Deal, Christine O’Connell More is joined once again by Growth Mode Content’s Matt Masur for an energizing discussion on some of Central New York’s most exciting real estate developments. Christine shares updates on her current listings—from a castle-like multi-unit in Rochester to a picturesque horse property in Sandy Creek—and dives into the growing trend of adaptive reuse. Later, special guest Mike Durkin, VP of Client & Investor Relations at VIP Structures, joins the show to break down some of Syracuse’s most transformative redevelopment projects, including the massive overhaul of the former Post-Standard building into a mixed-use residential and commercial hub. They also unpack Micron’s monumental investment in the region, the redevelopment of former malls and colleges, and what all of this means for the future of Central New York. From industrial landmarks reborn as vibrant housing to exciting growth in places like Seneca Falls and Cazenovia, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of Syracuse real estate and community development.
