Buffalo Rising Online

Development follows development.

Where else in buffalo would this apply? (waterfront?)

This would be great news, thats turning into a fun little area, i love the washington market. even if this particular development doesn't pan out.....i'm POSITIVE many developers are wandering around buffalo looking for projects.

buffalo is becoming a smart place to invest money. see bashar issa.

wow what a vague article. So basically there is an outside chance that somone might build a condo somewhere in that area that might have some residential units. With the property owner unwilling to sell I highly doubt this gets done. Until there is more information about who the developer or the well known architect is, then this really isn't news.

I took it as a gossipy-rumor article - nothing wrong with that. I hope this project sees the light of day.

As much as I like Buffalo Rising, I don't think it should act as a rumor mill if it wants to be considered a reputable source of news about the past, present and future of Buffalo.

Good to know their is potential. Hope this goes through.

I enjoy the articles by BRO, especially the ones by West Coast, but stuff like this is pretty useless. Tell me what block, what owner, what developer. Buffalo Rising could easily market itself as a second source of print news besides the Buffalo News and almost make this town a two paper town, but articles like this won't cut it.

To Kip, I'm not hatin' I just want real news and not a gossip mill. If I want gossip I'll go to TMZ. I appreciate the efforts that West Coast puts in, but I just wanted more info. (Which I did receive through an e-mail. Kudos to him for that) I just think BRO sells itself short with articles like this.

I know WCP personally and I can vouch that whoever his sources are they are mostly very reliable, first hand, and fact based, especially if he posts it on this site. He has fairly high standards about the stories he posts...you should hear some of the rumors that don't have enough reliable sources to be posted! haha

"Loose lips sink ships."

BRO should stick to the facts rather than rumors. Such rumors accomplish more harm than good. I personally know of TWO (count that TWO) different businesses that are scheduled to open that are purposefully trying to stay off the radar of BRO until they actual open their doors. Both business people feel that premature leaks and rumors make essential preliminary work more difficult to accomplish - especially in a small pond like Buffalo.

Kip have you ever put your own capital at risk in any substantial development/business? If you had, I think you would reconsider your harsh tone towards those who suggest caution and responsible reporting.

BRO editorial staff should urge more restraint in more responsible, accurate and fair reporting - even if they report facts that don't fit into the Pollyanna dogma that plagues some who circle this site like vultures looking for the next juicy meal.

Some people here are just negative all the time. DSB if you don`t like it,, why come on here. Start your own site then. WCP is a great part of this site. BRO keep up the good work, and don`t listen to all the people that think they know everything, like DSB, SteveP they should get a life

Who cares if it is only a rumor. Issa buying the statler began as a "rumor" BRO and WCP do a good job digging up possibie developments. That is the reason I log in every day.

Sleepl8 exactly, Better then digging up all the negatives

Typical WNY response on these boards; the "if you don't like it leave" attitude... Forget about making positive change... just go along with the cult, shout out the approved slogans but dare not to ever think or ask critical questions. SLEEPL8/BSJava are "old" Buffalo in a shot glass.

B(ull)S(h*t)Java have you ever opened a business??? I doubt you have... Rumors have a chilling effect on projects that have yet to get off the ground. I know for a fact of TWO projects that fear being mentioned on this web site because of the unintended consequences rumors have. There are very good reasons most project negotiations are held in private away from public discourse.

What is negative about demanding facts and being responsible with what is published? I would expect more from a publication that is one of Buffalo's premier websites. Pollyanna attitudes will NOT bring about positive change. Ethics and the respect for accuracy are qualities that seem absent from BRO lately.

"Ethics and the respect for accuracy are qualities that seem absent from BRO lately". UM I guess that doesn't stop you from coming back does it? DSB the question is,, have you ever opened a business? Everyone can say they have, but prove it that you did !!!!
