Ciminelli Real Estate’s plans for the Bank of America Building at 560 Main Street/10 Fountain Plaza were recently featured by Buffalo Rising, with a focus on the building’s historic significance and its future as part of downtown Buffalo’s continued evolution.

As reported by Buffalo Rising, the Norstar Building, now known as the Bank of America Building, has been nominated to the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. The designation recognizes the building’s role as an early example of energy-efficient commercial office design and highlights its importance within Buffalo’s downtown revitalization efforts of the 1980s.

The article also notes Ciminelli Real Estate’s plans to convert nearly all of the nine-story building to residential use, creating an opportunity to honor the property’s architectural history while helping bring new life, activity, and connectivity to downtown Buffalo.
