About The Dean
The Dean puts you in the heart of downtown Ithaca, surrounded by a vibrant and walkable urban setting where daily errands, dining, and local favorites are close by. This boutique-level gem is an adaptive reuse of a 1924 mushroom column warehouse, elevating its industrial shell through the infusion of art deco motifs and exquisite finishes. Choose from one- and two-bedroom floor plan options, with layouts designed for comfortable city living and flexible work-from-home routines. Inside each apartment you will find modern features including a in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher, A/C unit, stainless steel refrigerator, and Italian ceramic tile spacious bathroom. Step outside your front door and you can relax or play a game of pool at The Solveig or get a workout in at the 24-hour fitness center. You’ll also have secure bike storage and a rooftop lounge when you want fresh air and a change of scenery. If you have a dog, the dog wash is a real plus after rainy or muddy walks, and a nearby path leads toward Six Mile Creek for easy outdoor time.
