미국 최대규모의 쇼핑몰 프로젝트 기사를 보고 질문이 있습니다.
[질문]Fastest Growing City 뉴욕 시라큐스 지역에 한아름 슈퍼같은 Branch나 대형 Oriental 슈퍼마켓을 하고 싶은데 어떤지요? 그 지역에 순두부 식당은 있는지요? Destiny몰안에 Food Court에 Korean B.B.Q.코너 Open이 가능한지? 몰내에 가게 하나정도 분양 받고 싶은데 어떻게 살 수 있습니까? 그리고 그 지역 새집 분양가는 어느 정도 하는지요?
[기사내용]뉴욕주 시라큐스(Carousel Center)에 미국 최대 규모의 쇼핑 몰이 탄생 예정!
파타키 뉴욕주지사와 힐러리 클린턴 뉴욕주 상원의원등이 환경친화 Green Mall 이라고 해서 워싱턴DC에서 Destiny Project를 최종 통과시키느라 Support를 많이 해왔답니다. 최근 부시 대통령도 Destiny Project를 최종 통과시키기로 싸인했답니다. 몰 프로젝트에 $ 2.2 Billion 그리고 여러가지 엔터테인먼트와 호텔 등에 총$10 Billion달러가 투자되는 Destiny USA 프로젝트가 완공되면 이지역 집값도 많이 오를거고 뉴욕에서 가장 투자전망이 밝다고 합니다. 부동산 재벌 도널드 트럼프도 호텔건설에 참여할 예정이고, 골프의 거장 아놀드 파머는 실내 골프장 건설등에 투자할 계획이라고 합니다. Interregnum PLC, Thoughtworks, Inc., and WISeKey S.A., ADT, Cisco Systems, Dassault Systemes, Gehry Technologies, Intel Corp., McGraw-Hill, Microsoft, and OSI software, Inc. 등의 세계적인 IT기업들도 Destiny USA와 파트너로 일하게 될 것이며, 5년내에 Syracuse지역에서 수만개의 고용창출을 할 것으로 기대하고 있습니다. 파타키 뉴욕주지사는 Central New York에 Silicon Valley수준의 IT도시를 만들어 보겠다고 언급한 적이 많았습니다.
앞으로 뉴욕 업스테이트 Syracuse 를 중심으로 한 지역의 경제활성화를 위해 기존 Carousel Center에 있는 쇼핑 몰을 확장하는 최대 규모의 프로젝트로 일반인들의 관심을 모으고 있습니다. 특히 본 프로젝트에는 쇼핑 센터뿐만 아니라 호텔을 비롯한 각종 유흥시설, 식당, Onandaga 호수와 연결되는 Inner Harbor Project 등이 포함되어 있다고 합니다.

Syracuse는 나이아가라 폭포, Thousand Island (천섬)으로 가는 교차로에 위치해 있으며, 가을엔 단풍 관광이나 겨울엔 스키를 타는 관광객에 잠시 쉬어가는 지역으로 적격인 곳입니다. 가까운 거리에 Finger Lake호수가 있고 주변에 포도농장들이 많고 뉴욕주에서 가장 많은 와인을 이곳에서 생산한답니다. 이 곳 와인이 맛있기로 유명해서 애주가 빌 클린턴 대통령이 8년 임기 동안에 2번의 여름 휴가를 시라큐스 외곽지역인 Skaneateles에서 보냈다고 합니다.

뉴욕시 맨하탄에서 4시간 반 정도 거리에 있는 시라큐스 현지에는 한국식품점 및 식당들이 6-7개 정도 있어 현지에 살면서 비지니스 해도 별 외로움은 없을거라 생각됩니다. 최근 jetBlue항공사에서는 NY JFK공항-시라큐스 공항간 승객이 많이 증가하고 있다고 하고, Destiny 몰이 완공되면 승객이 Orlando수준으로 엄청나게 많아 질 것으로 예상하고 있고, 공항의 성장 가능성을 보고 이미 국제 공항으로 타이틀을 받았습니다.

현재 시라큐스 행콕 국제 공항은 뉴욕주에서 State's Fastest Growing Airport로 평가 받고 있습니다!
SYRACUSE has state’s fastest-growing airport; by George Spohr, Journal Staff
Syracuse Hancock International Airport is boasting lower fares, more passengers, and beefed-up airline service as it attracts travelers who used to fly from other Upstate airports.
“For a period of several years, Albany, Rochester, and Buffalo enjoyed significant airport growth — more passengers, more flights, new carriers, new destinations,” says Kevin Schwab, aviation consultant to the Metropolitan Development Association (MDA) of Syracuse and Central New York. “A big chunk of this growth came from Central New Yorkers who made the trip down the Thruway.”
For the period from January through June 2004, passenger boardings at Hancock were up nearly 18 percent over the same period in 2003, according to data provided by the airport. Hancock is the fastest-growing major airport in New York, says Schwab, whose Schwabgroup consulting, research, and marketing firm is located on Euclid Avenue in Syracuse It’s a “dramatic turnaround,” Schwab says, for a city where one in every five leisure travelers — and one in every eight business travelers — had been driving outside of Syracuse to take advantage of lower fares, according to an MDA–commissioned study performed by Knowledge Systems & Research, Inc., a Syracuse–based research and consulting firm.
It’s also a turnaround that may require the oversight of an airport authority — such as those under county oversight in Albany and Rochester, or under state oversight in Buffalo — to continue, some legislators and business officials say.
Low fares, big business Low-cost airfares from US Airways, Inc. and newcomer Independence Air are fueling the airport’s growth by providing fare cuts and more competitive offerings, such as those found at other airports Upstate. In July, US Airways added Syracuse to its reduced-price GoFares program — the airline’s attempt at cutting into the market share taken by low-fare carriers such as JetBlue or Independence Air.
“It would be foolish not to acknowledge that competition — particularly from low-cost competitors — factors into our business,” says Amy Kudwa, the airline’s public-relations manager. “As we have rolled out GoFares, we evaluate each market on its particular conditions.”
Not to be outdone, JetBlue, who some credit with starting the wave of low-cost airfares experienced at Hancock and across Upstate, announced on July 13 that it would roll out a new reduced-fare structure this fall. The 5-year-old carrier, whose hub is at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, announced $59 one-way fares between Syracuse and Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach, Fla. Those airlines “now provide Syracuse with some of the best service and — in several cases — the lowest fares in upstate New York,” Schwab says, adding that Hancock has lower nonstop fares to Charlotte, Philadelphia, Washington, Las Vegas, and Orlando than any Upstate airport.
Mall 입주관련 비지니스가 아니라도 다른 비지니스를 하는 것도 괜찮을 것 같고 부동산 투자도 해 볼 만하다고 생각합니다. 동쪽으론 Albany, 서쪽으론 Rochester, 남쪽으론 Binghamton, 북쪽으론 천섬이 있는 업스테이트 뉴욕에선 중심에 위치하고 있어 Central New York (CNY) 이라 부르기도 하는 Syracuse!
시라큐스는 업스테이트 뉴욕에서 가장 발전 가능성이 높은 도시라고 합니다. 사립명문 시라큐스 대학과 30분내에 Ivy League 코넬대학 등이 있으며, Syracuse 동쪽 20-30분거리에는 Turning Stone Casino도 생겼고, 골프장 등 리조트 관련 사업이 하나둘씩 늘어가고 있습니다. 미국에서 현재 가장 큰 몰은 Minnesota에 있는 Mall of America라고 합니다. 2008년초에 Destiny USA가 완공되면 미국 최대규모의 몰이 됩니다.

Destiny's new dream is bigger by billions
Pyramid officials unveil a more complex plan with $9 billion-plus price tag.
Thursday, October 14, 2004
By Rick Moriarty
Staff writer
Destiny USA executives said Wednesday they envision the massive project starting as a $5 billion retail and entertainment complex at the Syracuse Inner Harbor and then growing north toward Carousel Center mall.
Destiny's first phase would feature a 20-acre man-made lake - "Lake Destiny" - for outdoor water sports and ice skating, 8,500 hotel rooms, a 135-boat marina, a widened canal to Onondaga Lake and an indoor facility housing a water park and aquarium, and retail and dining establishments, the executives said at an editorial board meeting at The Post-Standard.
At the same time, an addition of at least 800,000 square feet would be built onto Carousel Center to satisfy the requirements of a 30-year tax exemption agreement with the city, they said.
The land between the enlarged mall and Destiny's first phase could be used temporarily for 2
parking. Hiawatha Boulevard would remain open and Bear Street would be closed during this phase.
In a second phase of the project, Destiny would be expanded from the Inner Harbor north to join Carousel Center and, eventually, over Interstate 81 to encompass part of the city's North Side, the executives said.
When finished, the entire project could come in as a $9 billion to $10 billion complex, they said. The confirmed estimate of the project has been $2.2 billion, although it has been clear that the cost would exceed that if it included the features, such as the hotel rooms, that had been projected.
The new scenario for Destiny would require the approval of the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency and Syracuse Common Council for two reasons.
The 30-year tax deal with the city limits Destiny to the area north of Bear Street and would have to be amended if Destiny is to start at the Inner Harbor, which is south of Bear Street.
City officials also would have to approve the closing of Bear Street for the project.
If all that cannot happen in time for construction to begin next year, it wouldn't delay their plan to develop the Inner Harbor area, the Destiny USA executives said.
The Inner Harbor portion of the project would cost $230 million.
The smaller project could stand on its own or be integrated into Destiny when the bigger project is built, said Stephen Congel, a Destiny USA executive and son of The Pyramid Cos. founder Robert Congel, the mall developer who is behind the Destiny project.
The stand-alone harbor project would include a 600-room hotel and two smaller buildings with upscale restaurants on the west shore; retail and dining in three buildings on the south shore; and buildings housing retail shops, restaurants and a marina headquarters on the piers on the east side of the harbor.
As part of its Inner Harbor proposal, Destiny has offered the state $20 million for the 40 acres that surround the harbor and has offered $400,000 to match a possible $400,000 federal grant to create an Erie Canal National Park headquarters at the harbor.
Stephen Congel said if the proposal is approved by the state, the 18-month project could start in January, with construction starting in the spring.
Destiny USA's proposal is competing with one from a development team of Sutton Real Estate Co. of Syracuse and Norstar Development USA LP of Buffalo. The Sutton-Norstar team will present its plans for the state-owned harbor, a former Barge Canal terminal south of Onondaga Lake, to the Lakefront Development Corp. today.
Destiny will present its plans to the corporation Friday.
The nonprofit development corporation will recommend one of the plans to the state Canal Corp., which will make the selection.
In marked contrast to Destiny's strictly commercial development plan, Sutton-Norstar has proposed a $98 million harbor development that emphasizes apartments, single-family homes and neighborhood retail shops on the west shore.
"We think the Inner Harbor should be developed as a residential neighborhood," Sutton President Bradford Smith said Wednesday.
Smith declined to disclose how much Sutton-Norstar is offering the state for the harbor land, but said it was far less than the $500,000 an acre Destiny is offering.
Destiny executive Michael Lorenz said commercial development would generate far more tax revenues for local and state governments and create far more jobs than would a residential development of the harbor.
The new scenario for Destiny is not entirely new. Project executives had contemplated starting Destiny near the harbor and expanding it north in phases to the mall.
However, by last year they seemed to have settled on a plan that would start with construction at the mall and grow southward - a plan that would have required the closing of Hiawatha Boulevard but kept Bear Street open, at least temporarily.
But Lorenz said the development team's current thinking is to start the project at the harbor, where it would not interfere with the operations of Carousel Center and its expansion.
The 800,000-square-foot expansion planned for Carousel would stop short of Hiawatha Boulevard, so the road could remain open until Destiny's second phase was built. In the meantime, Destiny and government planners would have time to design a new transportation plan for the area to prepare it for Destiny's second phase.
Starting Destiny as a separate structure from Carousel, at least temporarily, also would help Congel overcome the public image of the project being merely a shopping mall expansion.
Critics have questioned the wisdom of extensive tax breaks and other public subsidies for a shopping mall.
Destiny officials have long sought to portray the project not as a mall, but as an entertainment and tourism center like no other in the world, one that would help rejuvenate the Upstate economy. They often object to media reports that call Destiny a mall expansion.
An aide to Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll said Driscoll was out of City Hall and not available to comment Wednesday afternoon on the latest plans for Destiny.
Schumer nudges Destiny
Senator hopes developer will build it even if state tax breaks aren't guaranteed.
Saturday, October 23, 2004
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Friday he hopes the developers of Destiny USA begin construction even without the state tax credit guarantees they are seeking.
Schumer, during a stop in Syracuse, said he has urged state legislative leaders to pass legislation clarifying the Empire Zone benefits for Destiny
"I want to see the state go forward with it," he said. "I've told (state Senate Majority Leader Joseph) Bruno that, but if they don't, I hope the company goes forward anyway. I think that's a possibility."
Destiny USA executive Mike Lorenz said later Friday that the company is committed to building Destiny with or without the legislation. But he said the development would be easier to do with the legislation in place because it would give lenders greater assurance that the state would deliver on promised tax credits.
"With the state's help, we could achieve a faster and greater level of success," he said.
Destiny USA executives, led by developer Robert Congel, have promised to begin construction next year on their $230 million redevelopment of the Syracuse Inner Harbor, a plan that received the backing of the Lakefront Development Corp. on Thursday and awaits the approval of the state Canal Corp.
The harbor developmentwould be integrated into Destiny USA, a multibillion-dollar retail and entertainment project, when the larger project is built.
Schumer has been a major supporter of Destiny. He was instrumental in getting Congress to approve tax-exempt bonds that could provide a $100 million benefit for Destiny. President Bush signed the bill Friday.
The state legislation Destiny is seeking has run into opposition from state Sen. John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse, who says Congel has not provided enough details about what he will build. The Legislature is not expected to take up the bill until March.
Schumer made his comments after a speech to about 85 people at a Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting at the Onondaga County Convention Center.
Schumer said the Upstate economy will do much better in the next 10 years.
The nation's shift away from assembling products and toward knowledge-based industries will help the region because of its strong universities, he said.
"Businesses, when they locate somewhere, don't just look for the lowest cost," he said. "They look for a highly educated work force. Education matters."
