Queen City Landing is an approved residential tower by developer Gerald Bucheit under construction on the Outer Harbor in Buffalo, New York. The construction will involve the demolition of a 6 story warehouse formerly operated by Freezer Queen Foods and the construction of approximately 200 apartment units.[1] When completed in late 2018 or 2019, it will be the city's first residential high-rise, with a height of 99m and 23 floors, and the 13th tallest building in Upstate New York.

The tower has been targeted in a lawsuit by local environmentalists out of concern that it would pose a danger to bird migration, and also that the city board did not conduct a full environmental study on the site.[2] However, on multiple occasions, a state Supreme Court judge has upheld the city board's decision to build the tower and has also ruled that the city acted properly in its environmental study. Construction should go ahead as planned when the site is cleaned up, pending further appeals from the plaintiffs.[3][4]
