The 500 Pearl project was one of two case studies presented at the recent Build Up Buffalo symposium. The event provided owners, architects and contractors an opportunity to learn from each other’s perspectives and experiences.

LeChase Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Kyle Sayers joined Ellicott Development Director of Development Tom Fox and Kideney Architects President & CEO Ray Bednarski for the 500 Pearl session. Together, they discussed various aspects of the project from pre-development to completion. Kyle’s segment covered topics including collaboration, site and weather challenges, workforce and safety.
Co-hosted by the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Buffalo/WNY, the Construction Exchange of Buffalo and WNY, and BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) Buffalo, the February 12 Build Up Buffalo event was a follow-up to a 2015 symposium. In addition to highlighting specific projects, the recent event looked how the Buffalo area has moved forward since 2015 and what lies ahead for the region.
