Here’s a real opportunity to do something great on Main Street. At this stage in the game, we need to looking at better infill opportunities, whether we’re looking at a sprawling surface lot or any other underutilized property. I would have to say that 1458 Main Street falls into the latter category. The single story 5,536 square foot office-with-retail warehouse is prime for a complete redevelopment. It’s going to take someone with some vision to understand the potential here.
With a 12 car garage (3,087 square feet), a 3,974 square foot detached warehouse, a 48 vehicle on site parking lot, and 91 feet of frontage along Main Street… the opportunities are endless, especially for a developer that wants to go “up.”
As for the location of 1458 Main Street, there’s a lot of upside at the moment. The Flexlume building is for sale next door, Unapologetic Coffee and Vasilis opened nearby, Jericho Road purchased the former Bristol Home site, and Canisius College and the Medical Campus are in close proximity. The site is also situated along the Metro Rail route, for added convenience.
Investing in Buffalo’s Main Street is a good idea. We’re starting to see some significant changes, which will only be enhanced and sped up by a (coming soon) Middle Main Smart Corridor.
Middle Main (Goodell Street to Kensington Avenue): The City has secured $50.52 million in funding to complete a streetscape work on Main Street from Goodell Street to Kensington Avenue.
