SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Unique Development Companies, Inc. of Syracuse recently announced it has been selected by home-furnishings retailer IKEA to help build out its brand-new store at Destiny USA.
The IKEA store, which will open sometime this fall, will occupy the 88,500-square-foot former At Home space at Destiny USA. It will be the Swedish retailer’s first location in Central and Upstate New York, but third in New York state overall. IKEA has stores in Brooklyn and Long Island.
“We’re honored to be part of this milestone, and we’re looking forward to getting to work on what will be an exciting addition to our local landscape,” Unique (www.generalcontractorsyracuse.com) said in its announcement. “In choosing us over several larger out-of-town firms, IKEA made a bold decision to stay local. And not just local. They chose a small, family-owned construction company made up of just eight people.”
No financial terms or other details of the contract were disclosed.
The IKEA store at Destiny will feature its signature showroom, marketplace, and a Swedish food experience, according to a Destiny USA announcement. IKEA Syracuse will also include a central planning area where customers design and order home-furnishing products for spaces in the home such as kitchens, bedrooms and restrooms with support from an IKEA employee.
