I got my 1st look at the de-skinning of the old Dulski building. Its actually the 1st time I’ve ever seen such a thing happen to a building. Could even confuse some people-perhaps those who stay at the Hampton Inn next door think Buffalo is so backwards that they’re building early 70’s-looking buildings in 2008.

This project is interesting in many ways obviously but it is a good statement that Uniland even after all the buzz about Bashar Issa’s plans for downtown-came in here, proposed the project, got Embassy Suite to run the hotel space and then went right at it while Issa sat on his hands and eventually got exposed for his business practices. Kudos to Uniland for understanding the market and aggressively pursuing this project.
