• Diverse array of commercial spaces suitable for a mix of food, small offices, and neighborhood shops

• Smaller spaces open onto an activated multi-purpose courtyard

• Architecturally significant Showroom Space with dramatic arches, ornate plaster work, and other carefully preserved historic details, all complemented by impressive floor-to-ceiling storefront glass

• Abundance of parking

• Outdoor Courtyard available to use for all commercial spaces

• Easy regional access – 1/2 mile to 198 expressway, 3/4 mile to 33 expressway, 4 minute walk to Delavan/Canisius College subway stop
