The demolition of Hungry Chuck’s and other businesses on South Crouse Avenue may begin as early as March, according to paperwork filed with the city of Syracuse. Syracuse.com first reported the potential timeline.

The developers of the project, BLVD Equities, took a major step forward in the project on Monday when the Syracuse Planning Commission passed the proposal. The eight-story, mixed-use building will include approximately 16,800 square feet of retail space and 287 beds, per the paperwork.

The timeline for the project, called “Campus Plaza Development,” shows March 1 as the start date for construction and Aug. 1, 2018 as the first date of occupation.

The paperwork was submitted to the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency as part of a request for $1.7 million in mortgage and sales tax breaks. Previously, those close to the project have been reluctant to share a timeline for the project and the paperwork refers to the dates as “approximate.”

Chuck’s owner Stephen Theobald previously told The Daily Orange that the construction could start as soon as May.

The total budget for the project, per the paperwork, is $40.5 million, with $29 million of that going towards construction of the new building. The developers have estimated that 150 temporary jobs will be created as part of the project.

Jared Hutter and Brian Rosen are the partners behind BLVD Equities, a New Jersey-based company, which also developed the #BLVD404 project on the Hill.
