ITHACA, N.Y. — A longtime business owner on Ithaca’s West End is seeking to aid in the neighborhood’s revitalization with a bevy of real estate purchases and renovations in the works.
An Ithaca-based limited liability company (LLC) purchased nine contiguous land parcels on a block of Ithaca’s West End on March 29 for $2.54 million. Five buildings are included in that purchase. Among them are the retail plaza at 605-615 West State Street that housed Finger Lakes Beverage Center, the former Sparrows/The Falls wine room building at 726 West Green Street, an adjacent building at 109 Fulton Avenue, the former Ace Security building at 716-720 West Green Street, and a commercially zoned house at 706-708 West Green Street.

The LLC filing shows that it is registered to the address of the Ithaca Agway on the next block, and Ithaca Agway President Andrew Boerman represented the purchasing group.
