One Canalside has an address to match its name. The Buffalo Common Council formally changed the building’s address from 125 Main Street to One Canalside. Anchor tenant Phillips Lytle’s 300 employees were scheduled to being moving into the building from One Seneca Tower later this week. Work on the building’s parking deck and streetscape/plaza is ongoing.
Benderson Development is putting a mix of retail, hotel and office uses into the former Donovan State Office Building. Law firm Phillips Lytle leased the building’s top four floors.
A 96-room Courtyard by Marriott will open early next year on the second through fourth floors and the ground floor will contain retail/restaurant space.
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.
The eight-story 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.
