The Delaware North Building is a mixed-use development in Buffalo, New York. The 12-story, 330,000-square-foot mixed-use building features Class A office space, a 120-room Westin hotel, ground level retail, a 7,000-square-foot outdoor courtyard, and an adjacent structured parking ramp. Delaware North's World Headquarters anchors the building.

Construction

The new building replaces the two story Delaware Court building (1917-2014) at the northwest corner of Delaware Avenue and Chippewa Street[2] and occupies a 1.95 acre site.[1] The new building replicates the iconic curved façade of the old, using terra cotta features of the original structure.[3] The building features 193,000 sq.ft of class A office space on the sixth through 12th floors, a 116-room hotel occupying 104,000 sq. ft., 18,000 sq.ft. of retail space, and indoor parking for 593 vehicles in a five-level attached parking ramp.[4] The building's 2,600-square-foot lobby features the largest living green wall in Western New York, a 22x21 foot expanse of plants providing beauty, improving indoor air quality, and reducing energy use. The building was designed and constructed to achieve a LEED-Silver certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.

Operations

The Delaware North Building serves as the new headquarters for namesake company Delaware North, which also operates a 116-room Westin hotel and Patina 250 restaurant within the building.[5] Other tenants include KeyBank offices and retail branch, UBS Financial Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the Cullen Foundation, and Osteopathic Wellness Medicine.[6]
