Add the Aud to the growing list of historic buildings to be turned into a downtown Buffalo surface lot.
People say the Aud isn’t that great a building. I disagree. The 1970’s additions to the building are hideous, but the details on the original walls are only seen by other WPA projects like the eagles coming out of the stone. The large entrances (especially the exchange street entrance) are unique as well.
I’m no preservation freak, in fact I perfer modern architecture (favorite buildings in Buffalo are Hauptman-Woodward and the Public Safety Campus). But I’ve seen Bass Pro’s all over this country.

They’re lame-o.

And the same-o. Every. Single. One.

So now we’ll have a large, cheap looking wood building taking up this space when they at least could have taken up the surface lot inbetween HSBC Arena and One HSBC Center.

This whole project becomes more of a cliche Buffalo publicly-funded, silver bullet, project.
Tearing down an historic building despite being surrounded by surface lofts, and then cancelling their call for an intermodal transportation center. Pretty much just bending over for the companies that come into the city (Bass Pro, Casino)

You just can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Paladino finally has the ball rolling on this long proposed project. The long vacant “Courtyard Mall” is getting ready to be converted into office, apartments, and possibly retail.
And PS…wtf is this “Lisner’s” stuff? Interesting.

EDIT: It ain’t Lisners, Its Neisner’s. Read the inside comment for more infor on that.

Carl Paladino’s Ellicott Development Company has invested a lot of money into redoing the pretty shameful looking building on the corner of Oak and Seneca. Amazingly it has now become a fairly attractive building with a new addition to go along with it.


It will house the NYSDOT who currently occupy the soon-to-be demolished Donovan State Building

Now there is some serious evidence of progress going on on Delaware Ave with NewEra’s new headquarters. Um yeah, thats about it. The pics speak for themselves.
