Thread: The Buffalo Thread

i went by the new courthouse today and finally glass is being put up on the cylinder section, on the niagara side there is a good amount.

Couple random things, buffalo has lost 22,000 in the last year according to the census, and glass is finally starting to go up on the new federal courthouse. Maybe i'll go get some pics sometime this week.

And some things about HSBC, apparently they arent too happy anymore with the tower downtown, the rent, age of the building, so in response the people who own 1 hsbc tower are offering to build a new 10 story building on the site so hsbc can consolidate all there offices to downtown buffalo. no renderings of it yet, and no idea if they'll reclad the big tower, would be awesome if they did with the 10 story. Other rumors saying that hsbs wants a LEED certified new build tower, or something closer to the water. So who knows maybe in a few months we'll hear something about there current place, or maybe a new build? something really tall could be built.

And now speaking of being close to water the old freezer queen site that was originally suppose to be residential, is now going commercial, they want to bring hsbc or the law offices of phillups lytle, who may also be looking for a new build, here's the article and an image:
