201 College Avenue is the sight of a proposed project that will add 74 beds to the Collegetown rental market. The new project will be located on the corner of College Ave. and Bool St. in Cornell’s Collegetown. By signing I agree that:

  • I have seen the proposed project for 201 College Avenue, and I think it is a positive idea.
  • I agree that the project will be a welcome addition to the Collegetown housing market.

We need to hit the two hundred fifty mark before we present this to the zoning board. Post the link to your Facebook page right now to help us reach this target.

We hit one hundred signatures today. Now we need to move this conversation to the zoning board so email your local representative and tell them Collegetown needs this housing.

We have an extreme shortage of housing in Ithaca, more density in Collegetown and around the Commons is welcome. This development is a great plan.

Finally there's a developer that actually cares about what the exterior of the building looks like!

good small scale urban building in a great location for incremental, walkable infill.

It will be a great building at the vanguard of an overall improvement in housing, business and entertainment in this neighborhood.

I am an electrical contractor who will be bidding on the project so I am all for making work and housing for the Ithaca area.

for the sake of the town the building needs to be built its going to bring tax revenue for positive growth, it's a Beaitful structure that will stand the test of time, and here is already a housing issue for college students in the area.
