Over the past 18 months, the team at Severyn Development has been renovating a collection of 7 brick townhomes into 14, 3 bedroom, 1 bath apartments that are now available for rent on Florida Street. With this development team behind the reins, these homes have undergone an extensive renovation, and have been restored to their original grandeur all while maintaining their historic value.
Alex Severyn and his brother William Severyn have been the masterminds behind much of this company’s success, and while they take pride in each renovation, there is something particularly special about the Florida Street project. These units pay homage to an area that hit close to home for the duo since they sit relatively closely to their alma mater, Canisius College.
“This project has been watched by the local community. These houses were vacated for 15 years and although Canisius had kept up with the grounds and the location, the buildings themselves very quickly fell into disrepair. So we spent a lot of time focusing on rebuilding these things to their original grandeur. I think the neighborhood always had a soft spot for these seven properties. They would stop by and tell us that they used to be beautiful,” shares Alex.
Within the first two weeks, half of these units have been rented by people within the surrounding community, and ultimately prove to be serving the purpose the team had hoped for,
“ The majority of the tenants that we’ve already placed are from the community. They wanted to live there because they remember what they were and are pretty happy to see what they are today.”
Severyn Development has high hopes for that neighborhood, and plans to continue further developments on Florida Street in the near future.
“ I hope that this is a good display of our flexibility and really our commitment to Buffalo- this project in particular, we’re going to be invested here for the long haul.”
7 of these beautiful units are still available for immediate occupancy, and any additional information can be found on their website https://severyn.co or by emailing info@severyn.co
