A plan to construct a five-building office park and a retail plaza across from the Transit Valley Country Club has started to transform a swath of largely undeveloped land on Transit Road in Clarence.
Bevilacqua Development LP has started construction on three new suburban office buildings aimed at medical and professional tenants that will make up the $10 million Transit Meadows Professional Park. A second phase slated to begin this summer would add two more office buildings to the complex at 6041 Transit.
The developer also plans to build a retail plaza nearby on the site of the former Buggy Wash at 6031 Transit Road that would include a fast-casual restaurant.
The first $7 million phase of the office complex is underway, with the shells of three 10,000-square-foot buildings nearly completed and all work slated to be finished in August, said President Jonathan Bevilacqua.
The upscale apartments in a three-story building now nearing completion on Main Street in Williamsville will feature 8-foot-high doors, quartz countertops and a second head in every shower meant to reproduce the effect of rainfall.
There are 20 apartments in the Lymstone Lofts, located at 5933 Main St. across from Williamsville South High School, and amenities like these are why Bevilacqua Development LP plans to charge monthly rents ranging from $1,600 for a one-bedroom unit to up to $2,800 for a two-bedroom unit, depending on the size and room layout.
“There’s pretty strong demand, I believe, for residential housing in the village, and there’s not a lot of new supply in that area,” CEO Jonathan Bevilacqua said.
A pair of projects — one residential and the other commercially-focused — have been added to Bevilacqua Development L.P.’s pipeline.
The Amherst-based developer is proposing to construct an eight-unit apartment complex just off of Edgewater Drive in Amherst and has also landed its first two tenants for the fledgling Transit Meadows Office Park. Combined the two developments represent an $11.5 million investment by the company.
Transit Meadows Pediatrics, an affiliate of Tonawanda Pediatrics, will be part Bevilacqua Development’s site.
Lloyd Taco Factory, which last year opened its first bricks-and-mortar locations in Buffalo, is the first restaurant and/or retailer who agreed to move into the Lymstone Lofts, a mixed-use development under construction by Bevilaqua Development.
Bevilacqua Development is looking to expand its northern suburban real estate holdings by building a neighboring Transit Road office complex and small retail center.
Construction on both could start this year, beginning with the office complex. Continue reading →
Buoyed by a pair of residential-based projects and completion of a $3 million makeover along Main Street, the Village of Williamsville is poised to be a suburban development hot spot.
At least that’s the hope of Mayor Brian Kulpa, who released his “Prospectus: Williamsville” blueprint.
Buoyed by a pair of high profile residential-based projects and the completion of a $3 million make over of Main Street, the Village of Williamsville is poised to be a development hot spot.
At least that’s the hope of Brian Kulpa, Williamsville mayor.
Kulpa, in releasing his “Prospectus: Williamsville” blueprint for the suburban village, said he would love to see investors use the its Main Street business landscape as a development destination.
Williamsville Mayor Brian J. Kulpa laid out some of his goals in a State of the Village address that was streamed live Monday from the historic Village House.
Among them are plans to upgrade the village’s part-time Building Department into a full-time entity to handle a steady increase in the issuance of building permits.
Citizens Bank N.A. plans to relocate its Transit Road retail branch this year from one side of the street to the other.
The No. 5 largest bank in Western New York will switch this spring from a single stand-alone building at 6545 Transit Road in Clarence to a smaller office in a newly constructed retail center at 9430 Transit Road in East Amherst. Customers have been notified of the move, which is set to happen in May, a spokesperson said.
An affiliate of Bevilacqua & Associates has officially closed on the property it needs to develop a mixed-use building that straddles both the Town of Amherst and Village of Williamsville municipal lines.
Bevilacqua, through its 5933 Main St. LLC and 5949 Main St. LLC affiliates, paid $1.3 million for the 1.7-acre parcels of land to construct the Lymstone Lofts. Construction is expected to start this spring.
