Construction of 96 apartments is set to begin behind the Costco store at the Township 5 shopping center. Morgan Management LLC, of Pittsford, will begin construction as soon as the weather permits, said Tom Valenti, partner in the Cameron Group, the developer of Township 5. Plans are for eight, two-story buildings containing 12 apartments each. Construction will take about a year. The market-rate apartments will be built north of the brand new shopping center, which opened at the northwest corner of Route 5 and Hinsdale Road in October with the Syracuse area’s first Costco Wholesale club store. The apartments will be connected to the shopping center by a road and a sidewalk. Valenti said the convenience of having shopping within walking distance, combined with easy access to Route 5, should drive demand for the apartments. They will be the first new apartments built in Camillus in some time, he said. Morgan Management is the same company that developed the Rivers Pointe apartments behind the shopping center that includes a Home Depot and a Target store off Route 31 in Clay.
