The Phoenix Brewery was a notable project in the Historic Preservation category for its achievements in retaining, promoting, and reusing the state’s architectural heritage. The building’s rebirth included 3,000 s/f of commercial space and loft apartments with exposed brick accents, tall ceilings, polished concrete floors and high-end finishes. Containing 15 one-bedroom and 16 two-bedroom units ranging in size from 714 s/f to 1,314 s/f, each has a unique layout and several have second level loft areas. This market-rate residential development is within the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
