Buffalo, NY, October 13, 2026 — Construction activities are advancing on the Marine Drive apartment complex replacement project, situated at the intersection of Marine Drive and Commercial Street in Buffalo. The development marks a significant undertaking in the area.
The initial phase of this project encompasses the construction of two distinct buildings: one standing 12 stories tall and another measuring seven stories. Collectively, these structures are slated to introduce 254 units designated as affordable housing. In addition to residential spaces, the development plans include provisions for retail establishments and a dedicated parking garage, aiming to serve both residents and the wider community.
Current progress reports indicate that the steel framing for the taller, 12-story building has reached completion up to the seventh floor. This milestone signifies a tangible step forward in the vertical construction of the complex.
Further details regarding the full scope of the project, including timelines for subsequent phases, specific retail tenants, or the exact completion date for the current phase, were not provided in the summary information.
