Sweet Suites at Avant

While I commend Uniland for pulling off a project like of this magnitude.... I would be very interested to see who spends $500k - $1 mill plus to live here and the Pasquale (waterfront)....is there a Fortune 100 company moving to downtown Buffalo that we don't know about?

There will be a plethora of very expensive condos hitting the market at the same time...during the worst banking crisis since the great depression.

Minimum of 30% down for something like this; lot of wealthy people lost big money in the stock market...

Who wouldn't want a piece of this? My god, I'm reaching for my wallet right now...

Amazing views and space, but a million bucks in Buffalo? I suppose the people purchasing those are looking for the loss they will take down the road as a tax deduction. More money than sense.

Damn. Spectacular views. The downtown rendering blows me away. The timing of the sales is unfortunate but i still think they will be very successful.

awesome...now, as far as wondering who will own these for that price in buffalo, my perspective is this...buffalo needs to market itself to a more affluent citizen. having properties available such as these make us a bit more competitive, something we are sorely lacking at...this building, and the pasquale are examples of long term, big picture thinking, good for them...as of now, the perspective of our city is that we're poor, there's nothing to do, many suburbanites won't touch it with a 10 foot pole, etc...construction does wonders for cities, at the very least gives a sense of prosperity, so next time companies like geico, or citi are looking to expand operations, they may want to consider a place like downtown buffalo, because the big picture thinkers created the infrastructure to provide 21st century business needs...now, we know the local and state political climate makes it difficult for businesses to consider us, well, that's a different battle...high end condos in the city are a good thing, not everybody is poor...that said, i'll enjoy these condos from the outside...

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it...while it may not be as concentrated as in other markets like NYC or Boston or San Fran, there is money in this area. You don't see it flashed around like you do in those other places, but we have two professional sport teams and a number of CEOs who make millions of dollars a year. Not to mention all the duel income families who may make in the hundreds of thousands. These are still mortgages. Sure now we're talking about $7k or $8k a month, but if your an empty nester making good money it's not out of the realm of possibility. And is there really a flood of high end units hitting the market? relatively speaking, i doubt the market is saturated yet.

This is exactly what Buffalo has needed and needs more!

Advice to developers....take this concept to another level by building similar high rises but at lower price points and Buffalo needs such developments scattered across different areas such as downtown, westside, north buffalo, south buffalo and the eastside.

This is a great project. Mixed use, in the middle of downtown.

I'm not worrying about who's going to buy the condos.

Other people get paid to do that.

Urbanguy, right on. There is plenty of money in Buffalo, it's just not as in the open like you say. This development will do wonders for this area, trust me it's getting people talking, and not only locals as I have witnessed. T.O look no further

I love the Buffalo naysayers...no one has any money and no one will buy. Yes, this is the top of the market but the money exists to buy these. Will they sell? Will people buy them? I don't know for sure but I suspect so. Nonetheless, if you think the money isn't there you are mistaken. I have a buddy who is a 30 something that bought one of the million dollar units. It was a no sweat move for him and I suspect that it'll be the same for plenty of others...

There are tons of rich people in Buffalo. The economy is great too! It is just a national conspiracy by people like Forbes magazine. Great concept, just build high-end condos and people will move here. How about maybe building a couple 40 story business towers, then just look at the companies that will pour into the city.

people on this site need to get a grip.

For those who say there is no money in Buffalo...what you are really saying is there is no money in your personal sphere of influence.

It is not like 500 $1M units are hitting the market.

I suggest those naysayers go back to the fire hall you volunteer at, pour yourself a cheap draft and watch the Sabres game.

Yeah, my van will have better resale value in 5 years.

I don't get what folks like georged are on about. Why so hostile to these upscale projects? What would you prefer -- that the federal building was left to rot? That it became an empty lot? What's your beef?

ZOWIE! Uniland sure took the "dull" out of the Dulski.

And I'm not sure I've ever seen such high-quality interior renderings of any project -- outstanding.

T.O. will buy one.

The folks who are questioning who can afford such homes in Buffalo are the ones who cannot and will not ever be able to afford one themselves. Their sphere of socioeconomic affiliation is clearly outside of this market and they are covertly envious. I find this pattern of criticisms among many Buffalonians. They're the exact ones who vacation at a campground in South Carolina or a Days Inn in Ft. Lauderdale and bash our fine city the whole time they are there. There is plenty of money in Buffalo for these homes and their value will grow.

even through its not the most appealing exteriors at least they are trying and its better than another demo project in downtown. hopefully it will be a success.
