After posting on the upcoming 2009 Solar Conference (yesterday), 'sonyactivision' made an inquiry as to the state of the Freezer Queen project slated for the Outer Harbor. It was a good question due to the relative quietness regarding construction and time lines. I decided to give developer (Queen City Landing) Gerry Buchheit a shout to see if there was any news available. His response follows:
"We are well underway with our architectural drawings but are awaiting some governmental considerations to remain competitive with the surrounding condominium developments. We have been cautiously mindful of our market study and are being certain to be cost effective knowing full well the challenges of the present economy and the Greater Buffalo market. We are reconsidering a mix of rental units as well as condos to better complete the project but we remain confident that the project will provide some of the most beautiful settings on the Buffalo Waterfront. We expect to have units available in the end of 2010."

Are the developers still sticking with their design that looks like a dockside Queen Mary awaiting its passengers?
