2408 -2458 Main Street, Buffalo

Historic Parkside Campus For Sale

2408, 2450, 2456 & 2458 Main Street, Buffalo, NY
Former Central Presbyterian Church | Asking Price: $6,900,000

About:

A rare opportunity to acquire a four-parcel campus in the heart of Buffalo’s historic Parkside neighborhood — one of the city’s most treasured districts, laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted and anchored by Delaware Park, the Buffalo Zoo, and a wealth of architecturally significant homes and institutions.

This offering combines four contiguous properties at the prominent corner of Main Street and Jewett Parkway, the former home of Central Presbyterian Church, a congregation whose roots trace to 1835 and whose sanctuary complex has anchored this corner of Parkside since 1910. The site offers a developer or institutional buyer an exceptional combination of scale, character, and location, with multiple paths to reuse and strong potential eligibility for Historic Tax Credits.

The Properties:

2408 & 2456 Main Street — Former Primary Hall Charter School

Two connected buildings, most recently occupied by Primary Hall Charter School, offering move-in-ready classroom and administrative space. These buildings are turn-key for continued educational use, or well-suited for conversion to office space or residential apartments, offering a developer significant flexibility to reposition the asset to the highest and best use. Existing infrastructure, classroom-scale floor plates, and generous window lines lend themselves naturally to an adaptive reuse residential conversion, while the buildings’ institutional systems and layout also support a return to school or office use with minimal reconfiguration.

2450 Main Street — Two-Family Dwelling

A two-family residential building included in the sale, offering rental income potential or additional development flexibility as part of the assembled campus.

2458 Main Street — Parking Lot

A dedicated surface parking lot, providing valuable on-site parking for whichever combination of uses a buyer envisions — a significant asset in this dense, walkable, and highly desirable neighborhood.

Why Parkside?

Parkside is among Buffalo’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods, prized for its Olmsted-designed streetscapes, proximity to Delaware Park and the Buffalo Zoo, and a strong, engaged residential community. Main Street provides direct access to the Metro Rail line, downtown Buffalo, the University at Buffalo South Campus, and the region’s medical and educational corridors, making this an ideal location for residential, educational, or office redevelopment.

Investment Highlights:

• Four-parcel assemblage offering scale rarely available in an established, walkable neighborhood
• Prominent corner location at Main Street and Jewett Parkway
• Multiple reuse pathways — school, office, or residential/apartment conversion for 2408 & 2456 Main
• Historic Tax Credit eligibility, offering significant potential for redevelopment financing
• Existing income-producing residential unit at 2450 Main Street
• Dedicated on-site parking
• Deep neighborhood roots, with a building history dating to 1910 on a site tied to Parkside’s earliest development
