The Sheehan Hospital building, located at 425 Michigan Ave., was purchased by McGuire Development Company in December is welcoming Langston Hughes Institute Center as a temporary tenant at the Michigan Ave. facility.
While working with Langston Hughes on a larger project, McGuire Development learned they had recently lost their lease. McGuire stepped in and came to their aid, housing their administrative office as well as accommodating them with storage space for a few months. Langston Hughes will continue the planning of their new museum and facility.
Langston Hughes is a cultural and educational institute for the African American population. "We're pleased that this temporary location will fit the needs of an organization that is so vital to our area's cultural and historic communities," said James Dentinger, president of McGuire Development. "We felt it was a great fit for them to temporarily reside along the Michigan Corridor."
Executives from McGuire Development have been working with state and local stakeholders and constituents with an interest in supporting the east side community's growth objectives, as well as that of the entire Buffalo region. The property is situated at the hub of the growing Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Larkinville's continued westward expansion and adjacent to the city's central business district. McGuire has also worked with local community leaders to ensure that the new vision for the facility compliments the Michigan St. corridor development initiative and the neighborhoods that are interspersed among it.
McGuire is intending to fill the 150,000 s/f campus with tenants focused on clinical medical delivery, science and technology operations and workforce educational training, as well as community revitalization organizations.
