New development planned

· · 🌡️ 21°F

Hey all,
This troubled me quite a bit. I just happened across this posting from the Buffalo News about plans to develop the corner of Forest and Elmwood. The concept pictures look like a flying saucer vomiting a pile of bricks and glass. It's sort of like neo suburban stripmall architecture that populates the places that I finally escaped when I moved down here. I think the corner needs to be developed, I welcome that, but this seems like a bit much.



I especially worry about all of the retail space under this development. If the rent is high enough, we'll probably have a gap and a pottery barn there. Has anybody else heard about this?
