EdR Trust, who is working with Cornell on Maplewood, will once again partner with the university for this project as a housing specialist. The three firms previously partnered on another large project, the 600-unit Storrs Center new urban neighborhood near the University of Connecticut. Among them are Leyland Alliance, a mixed-use neighborhood developer from downstate, and Charter Realty & Development, a large-scale retail developer. The project team, “East Hill Village Partners”, consists of several major real estate players from across the country. The university pays taxes for East Hill Plaza. The apartment complexes east of the plaza are privately owned and would not be redeveloped by Cornell, but the university owns the fields further east and north, and they may be incorporated into the project. Redevelopment would include the shopping center, hotel, and outparcels like Rite Aid and Burger King.
