The Marshall, an eight-story apartment complex on Marshall Street, will begin moving in tenants on Friday, one month after construction delays displaced all 287 tenants.  

The building — located where businesses such as Funk ‘n Waffles and Hungry Chuck’s bar used to be — plans to move in all displaced tenants by the end of September, said Rick Norris, The Marshall’s general manager, in a Friday email to tenants that was obtained by The Daily Orange.

Construction on the building began in spring 2017. Winter weather and delayed utility work pushed back The Marshall’s construction timeline, preventing the building from opening before Syracuse University classes started in August. The building’s facade remains unfinished.

Displaced tenants were offered alternative housing in the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Syracuse and at University Village Apartments on Colvin, a private apartment building on SU’s South Campus. The Marshall is charging future tenants for rent if they lived in the alternative housing, but those who found their own housing were not being charged for rent.    

Future tenants on floors four, five, six, seven and eight will move in at various times on Friday, and tenants on floors two and three will move in on Saturday and Sunday, per the email. The Marshall’s first floor will be used for retail space, including a new restaurant called Blaze Pizza.

The Marshall is providing moving and packing services and a shuttle to tenants at the Crowne Plaza and UV, per the email. Tenants living in both locations were given a $200 gift card and $50 in meal credits each week.
