List Price: $549,900 | 5,000 SF | Lot: 15,000 SF | Built: 1968 | Onondaga County
Marketing description
Well-maintained 5,000 SF commercial office building on a 15,000 SF lot in the heart of North Syracuse's established business corridor on South Main Street. The property features two distinct sides offering flexibility for owner-occupancy, multi-tenant use, or a combination of both.
The right side (2,900 SF) is fully built out as a professional office suite featuring multiple private offices with soundproof insulation, two virtual-conference-capable conference rooms pre-wired with CAT6 and electrical for AV equipment, and updated carpet-tile flooring with replacement tiles on hand. The build-out includes all new walls, insulation, doors, and fresh paint throughout. The full electrical system has been upgraded with new panels and CAT6 data cabling to every workspace.
The left side (2,100 SF) is open shell space ready for custom tenant or owner build-out, providing a blank canvas for a variety of commercial uses.
Building-wide updates include new furnaces and central air conditioning on both sides, a flat roof with new soffit, new exterior steel doors, a rear emergency exit steel staircase with concrete pad, upgraded electrical service to exterior signage with timer-controlled lighting, a security camera system with audio/video and infrared capability, and a new hot water tank. The main dividing wall features interwoven fireproof insulation. The OCWA water main and meter have been replaced.
Both restrooms have been updated to ADA-accessible standards with new toilets, sinks, and handicap handrails. The front parking area features a repaired concrete pad, and the parking lot blacktop has been repaired and sealed.
Ideally situated with convenient access to I-81 and I-481 and approximately 3 miles from Syracuse Hancock International Airport. The North Syracuse location offers strong visibility, consistent traffic counts, and proximity to the Micron Technology megafab site in Clay — expected to bring transformative economic growth and demand for professional office space throughout the region.
Suitable for professional offices, medical/dental practices, insurance agencies, financial services, technology firms, or a wide range of commercial uses. An excellent opportunity for an owner-user or investor seeking a well-positioned commercial property in Central New York's fastest-growing corridor.
Investment highlights
BELOW REPLACEMENT COST
At $109.98/SF, this property is priced 37–69% below new commercial office construction costs in the Syracuse market ($175–$350+/SF). A buyer acquires a substantially updated building with immediate embedded equity at a fraction of what it would cost to build new.
EXTENSIVELY UPDATED — MINIMAL DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Unlike most 1968-vintage commercial properties, this building has received comprehensive capital improvements across virtually every major system: new furnaces and central air (both sides), brand new flat roof with soffit, complete electrical rewire with upgraded panels and CAT6 data cabling throughout, replaced water main and meter (OCWA), new hot water tank, both restrooms updated to ADA-accessible standards, new exterior steel doors, rear emergency exit staircase, repaired and sealed parking lot, and an audio/video/infrared security camera system. These updates substantially reduce near-term capital expenditure risk and support a stronger day-one return profile.
DUAL-SPACE FLEXIBILITY
The property features two distinct sides creating versatile occupancy and investment strategies. The right side (2,900 SF) is fully built out as a professional office suite with soundproof private offices, two virtual-conference-capable conference rooms pre-wired with CAT6, and fireproof insulation in the main dividing wall. The left side (2,100 SF) is open shell space ready for custom build-out. This configuration supports full owner-occupancy, owner-occupy with rental income from the second side, multi-tenant leasing, value-add repositioning, or build-to-suit resale.
ILLUSTRATIVE LEASE INCOME POTENTIAL
At the Syracuse market average office asking rent of $15.72/SF/year (NNN), the property would generate approximately $78,600 in gross annual rental income, representing a 14.3% gross yield on the $549,900 acquisition price. At lease rates ranging from $12.00 to $18.00/SF, gross yields range from 10.9% to 16.4%. These are hypothetical illustrations and are not guaranteed.
MICRON TECHNOLOGY — GENERATIONAL DEMAND CATALYST
The property is located approximately 6 miles south of Micron Technology's planned semiconductor megafab in Clay, NY, directly connected via I-81. Micron's investment of up to $100 billion over 20+ years is expected to generate 9,000+ direct jobs (average salary exceeding $100,000), 40,000+ community jobs, and attract 76,000+ new residents to the region. The resulting demand from suppliers, contractors, staffing firms, and professional service providers is anticipated to tighten the suburban office market and drive lease rates upward along the I-81 corridor.
OWNER-OCCUPANT COST ADVANTAGE
For firms currently leasing, ownership eliminates rent escalation risk, builds equity, provides mortgage interest and depreciation tax deductions, and delivers full control over the space. Estimated annual mortgage cost of approximately $42,600 (based on 25% down, 30-year term at 7.0%) compares favorably to $78,600/year in market-rate rent for equivalent space. Actual terms will vary based on buyer qualification and market conditions.
STRATEGIC I-81 CORRIDOR LOCATION
South Main Street is a primary north-south arterial with strong commercial visibility and consistent traffic. The property offers convenient access to I-81 and I-481 (connecting to the NYS Thruway), is approximately 3 miles from Syracuse Hancock International Airport, and is surrounded by the North Syracuse business district's restaurants, retail, banking, and professional services. North Syracuse Central School District supports the surrounding residential workforce base.
FAVORABLE MARKET TIMING
Syracuse office vacancy has declined to 13.2% (Q2 2025), down 118 basis points quarter-over-quarter. Year-over-year office costs increased 10.54% in 2024, and cap rates of 9.35–10.29% offer yield premiums versus coastal markets. Micron Phase 1 construction is underway with limited new suburban office supply in the pipeline, creating a window to acquire at current pricing before the full demand impact materializes.
