Prefect! This block is really coming along, Chrus J has vision and will be making good rents off this real soon.

I always had high hopes for this particular block. It is downtown, but yet its own little neighborhod.

Now if we could get more investment like this on the rest of Main St.

Looking back at the slideshow, I almost forgot how dumpy the area used to look. What an improvement. By the way, where are all the business signs? I can't tell if it their are any businesses inside or just decorated windows from the pics.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this put two business/legal copy centers on the same block? Folks in the know, how high is the demand for greater copy capacity?

LivingForge- you'd be surprised.

My sister in law works for Avalon in Syracuse, they do a lot of work for law firms, hospitals etc. Much of the work (especially for the law firms) is duplication of records and case files. This can amount to several bankers boxes of documents depending on what it is. They show up at your office, take the documents, make the copies then bring everything back, for some projects I believe the also do on site stuff.

"Does this qualify?"

Its still a little old-timey but its fine. The window framing should be as thin and unpronounced as possible. It seems like glass from floor to ceiling would be the goal so maybe that strip of brick along the bottom of the facade could go away. If there must be thick aluminum window framing maybe it could be coated black or brown.

Print shops are always a good thing and competing print shops are even better.

Isn't there a place called Document Advantage right next door?

ExWNYer, that's what I'm thinking, they're going to be right next door to each other.

I know the guy that owns Document Advantage- Rory. He used to live out here in San Francisco. He was advertised on this site when it opened. I hope it doesn't cut into his business. I know his business is a very high end printing shop. It's great to have business liek this opening on Main and I'm all for it, but is this like Subway and Quiznos opening up right next to each other?

It will be nice either way. The new courthouse / gate condo's will bring a little bit of 'new' to Buffalo.
