As 2 big Syracuse hotels close, construction starts on 126-room hotel near Carrier Circle

DeWitt, N.Y. -- It won’t replace the two big Syracuse hotels that are set to close, but the developer of a 126-room extended-stay hotel under construction near Carrier Circle says the project will help fill a need for temporary housing of constructions workers drawn to the area by Micron Technology.
Construction began last month on a LivAway Suites at 6595 Thompson Road. An opening is scheduled for spring of 2025.
LivAway is a new hotel brand. Dan Barrett, chief development officer for LivAway and president of West77 Partners, said this will be the first LivAway in New York. By the end of this year, 15 LivAways will be open or under construction throughout the country, with 15 more scheduled to break ground next year, he said.
Barrett said the brand’s hotels are designed to fill the temporary housing needs of traveling workers, like construction workers, traveling nurses, technology and other contract employees.
“We launched last year,” he said. “We’re filling a niche that is not addressed by most of the hospitality industry. Our average guest stays two to four weeks, and often our guests will stay with us for months.”
