Buffalo is likely undergoing its biggest construction boom in decades, mostly due to 1) UB downtown Medical Campus,2) Canalside, 3) Conversion of formerly abandon warehouse into residences, 4) increase in hotel construction, and 5) airport expansion (Buffalo handles a lot of Canadian travelers). There even renew talk of expanding the Metro up to UB north and/or to the airport (a better choice in my opinion). Even Buffalo tallest bldg. ( formerly the HSBC bldg.) will be occupied once again by M&T bank. Still a lot of work needed to be done to spread development out to the inner city neighborhoods east of downtown. Not sure what's happening in Rochester (which is in a more beautiful part of the NY state than Buffalo), but, Buffalo is slowly improving.
