In addition to the above, multiple truck docks will be available as will several rail accessible ones to make use of the existing rail line that services the original Sonwil Distribution Center and that will also serve #2.

The increased size of the new Distribution Center; especially its height, will allow for the Warehouse space to make use of an automated racking system. This system will allow for pallets of various types of food products and other items to be transported along rack system and easily accessed for further shipping and handling.

As previously mentioned, multiple annexes will be available for Truck Drivers who will frequent the Distribution Center. They will be able to make use of bathroom facilities and furnished breakrooms while they wait for their drop-off or pick-up to be completed.

Estimated Completion for the Project is Late 2022.

Elk Street Commerce Park is Buffalo’s largest and most visible new redevelopment site, with amenities for a wide range of potential uses.  11 acres of developable land along Elk Street is currently available.

The Park is located just over 2.5 miles southeast of downtown Buffalo along NYS Thruway I-190, conveniently positioned between exits 3 and 4. Close proximity to the highway offers excellent visibility and exposure to thousands of drivers every day, in addition to quick and easy access to all points in the city and the region. Canada is a close drive via the Peace Bridge, just minutes to the north.

The rear of the Park is on a section of the Buffalo River that is regularly maintained and dredged as a navigable channel, which could be accessed directly through the ESCP service parcel.

A thriving industrial and commercial district with several established industry clusters exists in nearby employment zones, with affordable residential neighborhoods beyond offering convenient and accessible housing for employees.

In situ stabilization and remediation efforts undertaken over the last four years have stabilized and transformed the land on this former industrial site into large parcels ripe for development. Work along the shoreline has reinforced the existing wall and increased the strength of the land along the Buffalo River.

Potential development on the site can take advantage of its location in an Opportunity Zone, as well as available Brownfield Tax Credits of between 20-24%. Space on site can be purchased for development or leased with build to suit in mind.
