Buffalo Unlocked: Downtown Residential Density

Featured on Buffalo Business First

April 2026

Buffalo Business First recently featured downtown Buffalo’s continued residential growth, while also examining the need for greater density, amenities, and connectivity within the Central Business District.

As reported by Buffalo Business First, the Central Business District has seen meaningful population growth over the last five years, but continued development will be important in helping downtown feel more active, connected, and livable throughout the day and evening.

The article points to the broader opportunity facing downtown Buffalo: creating more residential options, supporting nearby amenities, and encouraging investment that helps turn isolated pockets of activity into a stronger, more cohesive urban neighborhood.

This conversation aligns with Ciminelli Real Estate’s continued focus on thoughtful downtown investment, adaptive reuse, and projects that contribute to a more vibrant and connected Buffalo.
