Standing at four stories tall, the building consists of 56,000 s/f divided into commercial, retail, and residential space. 960 Busti has undergone extensive improvements that have preserved its historic original architecture while adding modern enhancements for energy efficiency, convenience and safety.

Ellicott Development worked with the State Historic Preservation Office to complete renovations to restore the building. Most notably, the existing windows have been replaced, new window openings have been cut in, the original wood windows have been restored, and previously in-filled window openings have been re-opened.

Located at the conversion of Busti and Niagara Sts., this newly renovated building provides views of the Niagara River and the Peace Bridge. On-site and under-building free parking make 960 Busti a premier business address.
