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.”
