I've become increasingly optimistic of Buffalo's prospects in my years and would bet my existence on residential investment in the city as the closest thing to a silver bullet. But 1600/month for rent... on Connecticut Street? God Bless. Good luck. You have greater cojones than I ever would.
As for the market, hit it out of the park.
What's up with the building across from the Niagara Street offramp from the 190?
$1600 for 3bdr... for three young hipsters living in a cool space with cafe and market in the building, thats pretty cheap.
And we all know hipsters have money!
While those rents seem ridiculously high for Connecticut Street, I think they are geared towards D'Youville students, so given the cost of student housing, that's about right. Ever price the new studio apartments recently built in close proximity to the UB north campus?
Fantastic.
Why doesn't Karl use THIS design to copy for his newbuild on Elmwood? :)
This is great news for Connecticut Street! I love seeing new activity on that street/neighborhood. On a small personal note..I do miss the Mark Freeland mural on the wall of this building.
Great news!
Only makes sure that the prostitute and drug dealer on the corner of your rendering are Photoshop-ed out of your rental brochure...
Under contract since Feb 2010 .... that's one l-o-n-g closing !
why do you assume that they are a drug dealer and a prostitute? There is a bus stop there at the corner (I beleive they are waiting on a bus, the 3 Grant). I have caught that bus many times at that corner. I just hope you won't assume I'm sellimg drugs the next time you see me out there waiting for the 3 going downtown.
None assuming drug dealer. That's a good cover! So what ya got?
I thought for sure this project was dead for lack of any banks willing to finance it. I am so glad to hear that it is still moving forward. I think this is an incredibly beautiful building, and it will be wonderful to see it cleaned up and active again.
I hope this building spurs Connecticut Street along on its slow but gradual improvement the last five years or so.
This is great. However, I question the wisdom of putting vendors in the basement. Will that work? I'm skeptical, but, hey, if it works, I'll all for it.
