The Benchmark Group opened the AMC Theatres complex in August, but is not done with changes to the
complex it purchased in 2016. Benchmark is adding two apartments to the Washington Street side of the
project.

Former office space on the third and fourth floors of 628 Washington Street will contain one apartment
each. The historic four-story building was incorporated into the original General Cinema complex that
opened in 1987. The historic facades of its two-story neighbor at 634 Washington and the two-story
building at 643 Main Street were also saved as part of the project.

This is a very beautiful, historic building and I am very happy to see that it's continued
revitalization and reuse is well underway. There used to be so many beautiful brick buildings
like this throughout Buffalo but sadly many were lost first to careless urban renewal and later
abandonment and arson. That is why it is so crucial for Buffalo to save and repair the remaining
