Greenleaf & Company has been awarded designated developer of the City-owned Summit Bosche Building at 918 Main Street. This historic four –story property will be re-developed along with a Greenleaf owned three – story building at 916 Main Street. Greenleaf purchased 916 Main Street in November 2008. 918 Main Street Richardsonian Romanesque masonry building is located next to the Red Jacket Apartments, south of Allen Street, one block across the Street from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and the historic streetscape is currently intact. It is a former carriage factory built in the 1880"s and designed by Cyrus K Porter, a well-known architect. It is one of the last remaining intact nineteenth century blocks of three to four story row-type buildings that once characterized much of downtown Buffalo.

Reuse of 918 Main in the Allentown Historic Preservation District has been a neighborhood goal for years. In 2004, the City applied to the Buffalo Preservation Board for approval to demolish the building but was turned down. A hole in the roof has steadily grown and many feared the building would collapse due to neglect or fall under an emergency demolition. The path to reuse was assisted last fall when the City received grant funding through the Restore New York program to stabilize and restore the building's façade. The company's $9 million reuse plan for the building is being developed by architecture and planning firm Carmina Wood Morris. A mix of conventional financing and state and federal tax credits will be utilized.

Greenleaf plans to use the first floor for commercial space and thirteen market rate apartments are planned. Many of Greenleaf's current 650 apartments are in renovated buildings where the original character is retained and kitchens, bathroom and mechanical systems are upgraded... The firm's properties are concentrated in the Buffalo State, Linwood, Elmwood Village, Delaware Park and North Buffalo Areas.

Greenleaf & Company is proud to announce its newest development project located at 1040 Delaware Avenue.

The former Niagara Lutheran Nursing Home located on Delaware Avenue between W. Utica and Lexington Avenue is getting an extensive and significant makeover. 1040 Delaware will become an upscale blend of 49 market rate apartments and approximately 2,200 square feet of commercial space. The thirty-five (35) one bedroom apartments, thirteen (13) two bedroom apartments and one (1) studio apartment will be available beginning on or about June 2011.

Two well-known Western New Yorkers have joined forces to redevelop the building at 1040 Delaware: James Swiezy (Greenleaf & Company) and Paul Kolkmeyer (Priam Enterprises). While this is their first project together, both have extensive experience in real estate development. Mark Tufillaro from Greenleaf Development will be the Construction Manager.

1040 Delaware is being transformed from an existing mundane, dull building into a more "neo-classical" structure with its own distinctive character. When completed it will enhance and compliment neighboring Delaware Avenue properties. All apartments will be higher-end units with modern finishes including hardwood and stone tile floors, hard –surface countertops and stainless steel appliances.

This building is equipped with ample onsite parking, an exercise room, laundry facilities and storage area for tenants. It is anticipated that two model apartments will become available for private tours before the end of March 2011 and applications will be accepted from prospective tenants at that time.
