Ciminelli's Bethune Lofts nearing completion

Ciminelli Real Estate Corp. is nearing completion of the Bethune Lofts project. The historic building, an adaptive re-use of a building constructed for the Buffalo Meter Company in 1915, is located at 2917 Main St. Renovation of the four-story, 105,000 s/f building into 87 loft style apartments marks the first historic re-use project of this scale in the North Buffalo area. The 2nd and 3rd floor units will be available for occupancy July 15th, followed by the ground and 1st floors on August 15th. The 4th and 5th floors will be available August 30th. The complex takes full advantage of the area's many amenities and provides exceptional style, comfort and convenience to tenants. Of special interest to many recently signed tenants is the secure off-street parking, outdoor recreation area, laundry facilities, and fitness center, all of which are available to tenants of the building. Almost direct adjacency to major transit stations makes the Lofts an ideal solution for the growing workforce of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the University at Buffalo, and for anyone in search of transit-oriented living space in the City of Buffalo. The building's 87 units are a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, all of which have high-end finishes including hardwood floors, solid surface counters, and stainless steel appliances. The 5th floor offers a unique penthouse unit with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and private laundry, and nearly floor-to-ceiling views on 3 sides.
