Ellicott Development Co. is seeking to demolish a one-story former gas station at the southwest corner of Main and North streets. Ellicott’s 4268 Group Inc. has owned the 1,352 sq.ft. building at 1030 Main since 2004. After a brief run as a Quizno’s restaurant, the building most recently housed Medina Deli. If approved for demolition, an existing parking lot on the site will be expanded by 10-12 additional spaces. The development firm has begun renovations to an adjacent four-story building at 1028 Main Street that once housed Bryant and Stratton’s city campus. The end use for that building is not known.
The demolition proposal was tabled at the January 12 Planning Board meeting. Since the property is within the Allentown Historic Preservation District, the Buffalo Preservation Board needs to weigh in on the matter.
Ellicott Development recently completed renovations to a three-story, turn-of-the-20th-century building at 1010 Main Street. Kaleida Health opened an out-patient care facility in the 36,000 sq.ft. building. An adjacent one-story structure at 1008 Main Street was removed to create a 39 car parking lot for that renovation project.
