Adding to the Niagara Street momentum, D’Youville’s $25 million, 85,000 sq.ft. Arts, Science and Education building is complete. The new facility boasts “smart” classrooms, faculty offices and a small café area in the atrium. The two-acre site (606 Niagara) encompasses a major portion of the block on Niagara Street bordered by Jersey Street and Prospect Avenue, close to D’Youville’s main campus on nearby Porter Avenue. D’Youville purchased the former Gateway-Longview property in November 2012. A 25,000 square foot structure that was built in 1928 bordering Jersey Street has been incorporated into the new building. The remainder of the former Gateway-Longview complex was demolished. Uniland Development was…
The final touches have gone up at D’Youville College’s first outdoor athletic facilities. The eight foot ornamental fencing has been branded ‘Dobson Field’, “The Home of the Spartans”. Along with the completion of the fence, D’Youville has also wrapped up construction on a locker facility, which is located across Fourth Street. This past summer, Dobson Field was alive with the sounds of baseball and soccer games. The development has greatly enhanced the neighborhood, which is probably unaccustomed to so much collegiate activity. The $4.3 million project is a great addition to the neighborhood, which is in somewhat of a transformative stage. Community…

Holiday Inn Express is part of the InterContinental…

Developer Rocco Termini has officially closed on the former Toro and Faherty’s locations on Elmwood Avenue. Termini, along with business partner Mike Shatzel, plan on combining the two restaurants into one large microbrewery restaurant called Thin Man. The name is derived from the first crash test dummy invented in Buffalo at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (Calspan – 1948). The theme of the brewery/restaurant will be designed around Thin Man, the crash test dummy. When asked about the excitement level of this particular project, Termini says, “I’m very excited.” The rest of Buffalo should be just as thrilled to see this section of…

For the second year in a row, Healthy Buffalo is organizing a co-ed broomball league at Canalside. While last year was a success, it was also a learning year. This year the equipment has been upgraded and there will be heating stations for both teams, which is a big deal for players who want to keep warm when they are off the ice. The great thing about broomball is that anyone can play. The game is challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun for everyone, no matter the skill level. The games are played after work, under the lights,…
