Over the rainbow

It might look humble, with its boxy dimensions, its Dumpster-spewing garbage and candy wrappers. (Buzz loves how Dumpster is capitalized, like Realtor.) No matter. The Spectrum Building is Buffalo’s unofficial City Hall. Buzz beheld Mayor Byron Brown, immaculately suited, in the Spectrum Building a few days ago. A friend spotted former Mayor Tony Masiello in the Spectrum Building a few days before that. You’ve never seen the Spectrum Building? Sure you have. It’s the CVS at the corner of Elmwood and Amherst streets. It is identified as the Spectrum Building on the online CVS store locator, and on prescription receipts. Why? We learned there was a nightclub by that name on that site in the 1970s. Ha, ha! We can respect that. Now, Spectrum Building, get that garbage under control. You have your image to think about.

Buffalo Statler Towers Volunteer Sale’s Effort Status Report

Buffalo Statler news update from the website: http://buffalostatler.com/news/news.htm

When I first got involved, the Statler was for sale – but wasn’t exactly for sale because nobody knew it was for sale. Sales information was nowhere to be found on the Internet. People naturally assumed that the Statler was not sellable because there were no qualified buyers appearing. The Statler was being scheduled for abandonment. Creating the BuffaloStatler.com website and a free Loopnet ad brought in qualified buyers from near and far. This fixed the matter of the sale’s secrecy.

Over the next several weeks, there was a series of arcane seller issues. There were also questionable obstacles: interference, threats, and intimidation from entrenched interests. That has been fixed.

There was an obstacle to the buyers that has also been fixed. A public mindset had been established that the Statler was a 100+ million dollar total restoration project. I emphasized a much more modest business plan to the buyers. The Statler has potential without necessarily requiring the type of full restoration that owner, Bashar Issa, planned. The Golden Ballroom played host to lavish weddings and parties as recently as several months ago. The Statler has been an uninterrupted going concern since 1923. Businesses occupied the building until several months ago. The Statler can bring back tenants one by one, slowly over time, build to suit according to market demand, and steadily build on the already accomplished restorations. This modest business plan has been made practical by the city’s lowered tax assessment.

Fortunately, I did not run out of persistent qualified buyers to help advance the process each time to the next breakdown. We are closer than ever. I am confident that we will arrive soon – but we aren’t ready to drive around without the toolbox.

BuffaloStatler.com Buffalo Statler Towers Sale – Progress Report

Howard Goldman — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:49:33 +0000

Update: June, 2010 from the website: www.BuffaloStatler.com

The BuffaloStatler.com marketing effort has brought several qualified buyers (out-of-towners and local) to the table – cash in hand and willing to pay the asking price. Each time it was the seller, not the buyer, who got cold feet. I have confidence that the building will be under contract soon and that the successful buyer will have displayed an impressive amount of patience. Patience is an important quality to find in a new Statler owner, so perhaps this slow process is actually a blessing in disguise.
