20th Annual The Ellicott Development Belesario A. Paladino and Patrick J. Paladino Golf Tournament

In 1996, the idea of hosting an Ellicott Development golf tournament was encouraged by Belesario Paladino, the father of Carl Paladino, and Leon McCoy, a residential leasing agent and brother-in-law to Carl Paladino. Just a few months after beginning to organize the outing, Belesario Paladino passed away. In honor of his memory, the golf tournament was named “Ellicott Development Company Belesario Paladino Golf Tournament”. Sadly, a little more than a decade later, tragedy struck in 2009 when Patrick Paladino, son of Carl, passed away from a car accident. Patrick always looked forward to this event as he loved playing with family and close friends. This brought upon the renaming of the event “The Ellicott Development Belesario A. Paladino and Patrick J. Paladino Golf Tournament.”

NY Post: The Wind and Sun Are Bringing the Shine Back to Buffalo

Article via NY Times
By Diane Cardwell July 20, 2015

BUFFALO — Along a bend in the Buffalo River here, an enormous steel and concrete structure is rising, soon to house one of the country’s largest solar panel factories. Just to the south, in the rotting guts of the old Bethlehem Steel plant in Lackawanna, where a dozen wind turbines already harness the energy blowing off Lake Erie, workers are preparing to install a big new solar array.

And in Lockport, to the north, Yahoo recently expanded a data and customer service center, attracted by the region’s cheap, clean power generated by Niagara Falls.

After decades of providing the punch line in jokes about snowstorms, also-ran sports teams and urban decline, the Queen City of the Lakes is suddenly experiencing something new: an economic turnaround, helped by the unlikely sector of renewable energy.

The change in Buffalo is so evident that parents who once told their children to seek their fortunes elsewhere are now telling them to come back.

Luxury housing booms in Buffalo

Via WIVB Channel 4

By Jenn Schanz

BUFFALO. N.Y. (WIVB) — Expansion in the Queen City demands more housing.

The approach? Several new luxury apartment options downtown.

Kristan Andersen, Vice President of real estate firm Gurney Becker & Bourne has been renting apartments here for years.

She told News 4 she’s seeing new trends.

“The prices have gone way up in the rental market,” she said.

Just five years ago, three-bedroom apartments rented for around $1,000 a month downtown; the going rate for new luxury apartments in the same area is around $1,500 for a one-bedroom.

For young people returning to Buffalo, the change is a shock.

“I was surprised at the rent. There were a lot of apartments that were between $700 and $900 for like a one bedroom or a studio,” said Buffalo native Michael Wysochanski.

Road Less Traveled Productions has found a new home on a well-traveled stage, in the heart of what may soon be a bustling neighborhood.

The company announced plans Wednesday to move from its 90-seat space in the former Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre into the cavernous Forbes Theatre at 512 Pearl St. in time for the opening of its 2015-16 season in September.

Article via WBFO
By Mike Desmond

The push for new apartments in downtown Buffalo appears to be moving farther and farther out from the Central Business District.

Ellicott Development is planning new townhouses and potentially another high-rise on the waterfront.

But the two projects it just took to the Zoning Board of Appeals were “brownfields,” a building at Niagara and Busti vacant for 20 years and a vacant field on Ohio Street unused for far longer. That’s a plan which might take some years, to gradually fill the space between the Buffalo Scholastic Rowing Association and a new city park.

Article via Buffalo Rising

With the apartment market red hot, Ellicott Development Company is dusting off plans to put residential units in a four-story commercial building at 960 Busti Avenue. The company purchased the site in April 2008 along with a nearby property at 1050 Niagara Street from Ciminelli Development.
