Ellicott Development’s six-story building at 1091 Main Street is taking shape. The $20 million office
building will connect to the former Our Lady of Lourdes church to the north that is being converted into a
mix of retail, restaurant, commercial office and residential uses. The properties are on the northern edge
of the Medical Campus.

Concept Construction Corp. is overseeing construction of the 167,000 square foot building. It will contain
a variety of retail and office space and include one level of underground parking for 50 vehicles.
Designed by Smith + Associates Architects, the building will offer a modern exterior with a range of
materials selected to complement the existing Lourdes structure. General Physicians and a dental practice
affiliated with the University at Buffalo have signed leases for space in the building.

floor and roughly 5,700 sq.ft.of commercial office space will be available on the second floor.

Nice. With the possible hotel going up behind this and the nearby Metro stop, this area can be
a vibrant urban node while also an extension of the medical campus.

Cool. The windows look smaller than the rendering, but oh well. Small quibble for a great
development.

The windows in the rendering appear larger but if you look closely, only a portion of the
rendering windows are 'real.' The remainder is faux/curtain wall.

Can Ellicott Development at least restore the stained glass windows on the front facade?

Although I can appreciate the weathered look of Medina Sandstone, this might be one instance
where a thorough cleaning of the exterior would actually compliment the new build next to the
former church. It would also give us a rare look at a sandstone building with a fresh quarried
patina.

I'd settle for the window framing to match the wooden doors. biege color really sticks
out, in a bad way.
