Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation has passed along a few more images of Benderson Development’s Donovan Building makeover. The former state office building was acquired by Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation in 2008. Benderson was the only bidder that responded to a request for proposals to redevelop the property where construction is quickly progressing.
A 96-room Courtyard by Marriott will occupy three floors in the eight-story, 160,000 sq.ft. building. Law firm Phillips Lytle has leased the building’s top four floors.
A two-level parking deck will be constructed on the north and east sides of the building. A planting trellis has been added to the structure to soften the view of the garage from Washington Street. Also along Washington Street is a drop-off area that provides access through the parking structure into the building.
Clark Construction Group, LLC, the nation’s largest privately-held construction company, is general contractor. Orchard Park-based Fontanese Folts Aubrecht Ernst Architects, P.C. is architect for the revamped building to be known as One Canalside.
