Buffalo City Tower as approved is a 40-story, mixed-use, tower aiming to be the tallest in downtown Buffalo, being developed by British property development company BSC Group, headed up by entrepreneur Bashar Issa. Details include: retail focused on the corner of S. Elmwood and Mohawk Street, 20 floors of office space at 24,400 GSF/floor, 10 floors of hotel totaling 300 rooms each at 380 – 500 sq ft., and 10 floors of 80 condos each at 965 – 1,500 sq ft (140 m²).
