Project Description

MIXED USE OFFICE RETAIL RESIDENTIAL project. Ellicott Commons and Oak Street School are located on nearby sites in downtown Buffalo, New York. Ellicott Commons is composed of several adjacent structures in a Main Street setting.

Current and identified commercial tenants include an upscale neighborhood grocer, a copier/fax technology company, a voice-over-internet firm, and a collection agency. Oak Street School, a historically significant site previously used as a school, was redeveloped into 29 loft-style market-rate rental apartments and approximately 8,400 sq. ft. of commercial space.
