The State of Outbound Sales in Syracuse, 2026

The largest buyer categories

Sites with 20 or more people are the ones worth an SDR's time: big enough to have a facility lead, a service budget and a contract that comes up for renewal. The "vs. U.S. mix" column compares each category's share of local employment with its national share (1.00x is the U.S. average).

• 01 · $100 billion Micron New York megafab Under construction Micron's semiconductor manufacturing complex of up to four fabs at White Pine Commerce Park in the town of Clay, Onondaga County, which broke ground January 16, 2026 and poured first concrete in July 2026. Fab 1 is targeted to start production around 2030, so the site needs electrical, mechanical, fire protection and paving crews for years, and the second fab is expected to start in 2028. electricalHVACfire protectionpavingconstruction Micron Technology, 2026-01-16
• 02 · $2.25 billion I-81 Viaduct Project Community Grid Under construction NYSDOT's replacement of the 1.4-mile I-81 viaduct through downtown Syracuse with a street-level Community Grid, including a $2.1 billion Phase 2 design-build contract awarded to CNY Alliance in July 2026. The viaduct closes to through traffic in late 2026 and work runs to about 2029, creating paving, street lighting and signal, and landscaping scopes on the new city streets. pavingelectricallandscaping CNY Signal, 2026-08-24
• 03 · $450 million Upstate University Hospital annex Design A new annex at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse with an expanded emergency department, burn unit, surgery suite and ICU, now in design with CannonDesign. Construction follows design, so this is a pipeline item; a new emergency, surgery and ICU annex carries heavy mechanical, electrical and fire protection scopes plus a new building envelope and roof once it bids.

• 04 · $100 million Harborview Aquarium Under construction, opening promised by end of 2026 Onondaga County's aquarium in Syracuse's Inner Harbor, county-owned and managed by the ZoOceanarium Group, built to hold 600,000 gallons of water with half in one large tank. With opening targeted for the end of this year, interior finishes are the near-term work, and a county-owned public attraction needs a janitorial contract once visitors arrive. constructionpaintingflooringcleaning NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2026-09-17
• 05 Baldwinsville Central School District renovations Under construction, new classrooms open for the 2027-28 school year Baldwinsville Central School District is rebuilding the pool and gymnasium at Baker High School and expanding classrooms at Durgee Junior High School, after renovating the Durgee cafeteria and gym, to make room for enrollment growth tied to Micron. Renovated instructional space, a rebuilt gym and pool, and new classrooms due for fall 2027 mean interior construction, flooring and painting through 2027, with more work likely as the district plans for Micron-driven enrollment. constructionflooringpainting NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2026-09-24
• 06 · 45,000 sq ft Syracuse Rescue Mission Mission Exchange Building Under construction, completion expected by end of 2026 A 45,000 sq ft building on Seymour Street on Syracuse's Southwest side combining ground-floor retail storefronts, upstairs administrative offices and a one-story warehouse, supported by $1.5 million from the Downtown Revitalization Initiative. A mixed retail, office and warehouse building finishing late this year needs roofing over the warehouse, sprinklers, flooring and painting for storefronts and offices, then janitorial service for the offices and retail spaces once tenants move in. roofingfire protectionflooringpaintingcleaning NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2025-10-10
• 07 · a few million dollars National Grid headquarters exterior restoration Announced December 2025, in design Restoration of National Grid's 1932 Art Deco headquarters on Erie Boulevard West in downtown Syracuse, including a new roof, replacement spandrel panels, brick repointing, parapet and flashing repairs and new front doors, designed by Nelson Associates Architectural Engineers. The existing roof has reached the end of its useful life, so this is a full roof replacement on a landmark building alongside masonry, parapet and flashing work that must meet the city's Landmark Preservation Board requirements. roofingconstruction NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2025-12-17
• 08 Syracuse Public Safety Building Phased move-in beginning March 2026 The Syracuse Police Department's new six-floor headquarters in a renovated factory building at 1153 West Fayette Street on the city's west side, bringing detectives and patrol officers under one roof. A six-floor city headquarters with a gym and round-the-clock occupancy creates ongoing janitorial, HVAC service and fire alarm and sprinkler inspection work, the kind of public contracts that go out to bid on a cycle. cleaningHVACfire protection NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2026-01-09
• 09 · 10,000 square feet SUNY Oswego at Syracuse campus expansion Renovation targeted for completion before fall 2026 semester SUNY Oswego's renovation and 10,000 sq ft expansion of its downtown Syracuse branch, in the Atrium building next to Perseverance Park and Micron's regional headquarters, adding laboratories, classrooms, offices and a student lounge. An interior fit-out of labs, classrooms and offices means framing, flooring and painting work, and the larger campus adds square footage to clean in a downtown office building; the university has not yet released the cost. constructionpaintingflooringcleaning NewsChannel 9 WSYR, 2026-04-29
• 10 · $130 million Syracuse Developmental Center redevelopment Demolition complete A mixed-use redevelopment of the former 600,000-square-foot Syracuse Developmental Center at 800-2 S. Wilbur Avenue on Syracuse's west side: more than 260 affordable apartments in Phase I, and over 500 homes, 7.5 acres of green space, a manufacturing facility and retail space at full build-out. State site funding covers roads, sidewalks, tree planting, canopy and lighting throughout the site, so landscaping, paving and site lighting work follows the completed demolition. landscapingpavingconstructionelectrical Office of the Governor of New York, 2026-06-09
