BUFFALO’S TALLEST TOWER, WITH SCHINDLER VT, OPENS TO TENANT

The tallest building in Buffalo, New York, at 38 stories, Seneca One opened its doors to apartment residents several days ago following a US$150-million renovation by Washington, D.C.-based Douglas Development Corp., WKBW reports. In addition to remote-access and amenities including a food-and-beverage center and a fitness center, the work included updating the tower's 27-elevator vertical-transportation (VT) system, which Douglas Development told ELEVATOR WORLD was handled by Schindler. The property was built as an office building in 1970, and Douglas bought it out of foreclosure in 2016. Seneca One now has M&T Bank as its anchor tenant, with at least five other commercial tenants signed on. Apartments — a first for the 50-year-old building — total 115.
