Greater Syracuse Land Bank

Greater Syracuse Land Bank Restoring Properties, Revitalizing Neighborhoods. Land banks ensure that properties’ return to productive use are planned for in a coordinated manner.

A land bank is typically a not-for-profit or governmental entity intended to facilitate the return of vacant and abandoned properties to productive use. Sometimes this requires only short-term involvement of the land bank, which may acquire a problem property so it can be quickly sold to a responsible buyer for redevelopment. Sometimes this entails longer-term stabilization of a property while wai

ting for an appropriate development proposal, for renovation funding to become available, or for opportunities to assemble larger parcels of land available for redevelopment. Land banks’ preventive maintenance reduces cities’ costs of code enforcement, lawn-mowing and board-ups, and court-ordered demolitions and contributes more to the stabilization of property values than those reactive interventions. Land banks are also involved in preserving land for community use, such as parks and gardens or other natural conservation purposes. Many of the benefits of land banks are derived from assembling vacant and underutilized properties under single-ownership and coordinating their maintenance and development outcomes with long-range planning.

104 Elmhurst Ave is a single-family home located in the Elmwood neighborhood. It features three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, an open kitchen, and a living room. Originally sold through the Land Bank's Home Ownership Choice program, the property required owner-occupancy or complete renovation before flipping to an owner-occupant. Local contractor Zack Yost of Champs Remodeling, LLC—who has a proven track record of completing high-quality, whole-house renovations with the Land Bank—purchased and fully transformed the home. We previously featured his renovation project at 219 Barrington Road in the Meadowbrook neighborhood.
We are thrilled to see this former Land Bank property fully restored and back on the tax rolls! This renovation project fits in with a broader block revitalization effort: the blighted property next door was recently demolished, and a new Move-In NY home is scheduled to be built on the block.
The turnkey home is currently "Sale Pending" with HUNT Real Estate. Take a look at some "Before" and "After Renovation" photos of the home.
