The Gallagher Building in downtown Youngstown is projected to be the site of a new 36-unit apartment complex. It formerly held the Cedar s Lounge and Restaurant.
YOUNGSTOWN – The owner of the vacant downtown Gallagher Building said he plans to start work on 36 apartment units in it later this year.
Brian Angelilli, owner of YO Properties 23 LLC, said he expects work to start on the apartments in August or September, possibly sooner. For decades, the building housed Cedar’s Lounge.
“These are efficiency apartments, not even complete one bedroom,” Angelilli told the city’s board of zoning appeals Tuesday. “They’re intended, for the most part, for single occupants.”
Brian Angelilli, owner of the Legal Arts Building, announced Tuesday he plans to reopen the iconic downtown Youngstown structure. The adjacent parking deck is expected to reopen next month.
YOUNGSTOWN The owner of the Legal Arts Building is making exterior improvements to the downtown structure with plans to reopen it.
Brian Angelilli, who purchased the building in October 2019, said Tuesday that he wants to get the parking deck open by next month, and to put a breakfast-lunch business on the ground floor.
He mentioned Dunkin’ Donuts or a “mom-and-pop” restaurant at the site as there’s “a lot of foot traffic” at the downtown location at 101 Market St. that makes it a good spot for such a business.
