Specifically this is what I am talking about... http://www.buffalo.e...013/04/017.html yeah, all the medical campus stuff is still happening as far as I know. this was a separate project on the site of the old gates hospital, which moved into the corridor downtown.

LabattBlue Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) yeah, all the medical campus stuff is still happening as far as I know. this was a separate project on the site of the old gates hospital, which moved into the corridor downtown. Medical Campus... 1 - Ciminelli Medical Office Buidling at Main & High - Crane on site, huge hole that will become underground parking is undergoing remediation 2 - Childrens Hospital at Ellicott & High - Service tunnel under Ellicott that will go between BGH & Childrens is under construction. No sign of actual ground breaking for hospital. 3 - Roswell Bldg at Carlton & Michigan - no groundbreaking(scheduled for later this summer/early fall). 4 - UB Med School at Main & High(adjacent to subway station) - no groundbreaking yet, but First Niagara Bank branch at that corner just closed, and that is part of the land to be used for med school. I heard groundbreaking is a ways out. 5 - Trico Building - forget about it. The preservationists want to save it, the developer does not. Battle will go on forever. 6 - Catholic Health System Headquarters bordering Genesee, Elm & Oak - Majority of steel is up. Edited July 19, 2013 by LabattBlue Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) It really is a dreadful piece of the skyline. It's so out of character. A friend describes that building as a giant middle finger. I don't know how feasible it is but I wonder if the HSBC Tower could be dismantled floor by floor and turned into a 6-10 story building? Then take the concrete panels and steel and reuse them elsewhere. Make lots of little buildings out of it. PTR Edited July 18, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 @BuffaloSabres Nik Fattey named VP/Director of Hockey for @HarborCtr. DETAILS: http://ow.ly/201OiL work to create a world-class destination for hockey players, coaches, scouts, fans and families and to ensure that HARBORcenter is an internationally recognized elite hockey development center. I starting to buy into this a little- I'm getting the impression this facillity has the potential to be a LOT better and higher profile than the Toyota Sports Center (the Kings' sparkling three-rink practice facility; the best rink I've ever skated in, next to maybe the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee). I can't convey how much it helps to have a good rink director- it really makes or breaks the entire facility- and it looks like Fattey could be good at it. I'm looking forward to the whole thing.

shrader Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) That's cool to see. He and his brothers practically taught me how to skate years ago by skating circles around me in open skates. Edited July 25, 2013 by shrader Quote
spndnchz Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 That's cool to see. He and his brother practically taught me how to skate years ago by skating circles around me in open skates. His brother was part of the lawyer team getting the deal done for the Center. Quote
shrader Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 His brother was part of the lawyer team getting the deal done for the Center. It's good to see a local hockey family so embedded in the process. They were good people and I hope the place thrives under his leadership. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 @chrislerch Canisius and Sabres to hold joint presser tomorrow on HARBORcenter. Griffs were in talks to move home games there from Buff State. Quote

spndnchz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 OMG these sports bar pics look awesome. Confirmed: Canisius will play at HARBORcenter Quote
sabills Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 OMG these sports bar pics look awesome. Confirmed: Canisius will play at HARBORcenter Are the pictures publicly available, or are you just teasing us? haha Quote
spndnchz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Are the pictures publicly available, or are you just teasing us? haha They should be soon. Think 39 foot video screen. Quote
darksabre Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 They should be soon. Think 39 foot video screen. It moved. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 It moved. Was it a move, or a shift? Quote
sabills Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 They should be soon. Think 39 foot video screen. There they go again, cheaping out on the fans. A REAL owner would have shelled out for the extra foot. Also, awesome. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Holy, I don't even..... To say it moved would be the understatement of the century. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Haha, why even pay for a ticket to the game. Awesome. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Awesome. Just don't ruin it by only serving ###### beer. edit: Seriously, hopefully TPegs is on board with the concept of supporting your local brewery. It would be nice to see taps from Flying Bison, Pearl Street, Community Beer Works, that new brewery in Hamburg etc.. Edited July 30, 2013 by Claude_Verret Quote
Patty16 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 this is what happens when you have a fan as an owner. Quote
spndnchz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 It's not a DONE deal yet so SUFFER! j/k about the suffer part, but yeah not done yet. Quote
