The developer from England who just bought the Statler Towers and will be spending $80 million to refurbish them has plans now to build Buffalo's tallest building. He's proposing a 40 story high rise on South Elmwood and West Huron. The drawing above shows the new federal court building in front of the propsed high rise.

I know that there's a need for Class A office space downtown not sure of the exact vacancy rate but it's definately below 10%. The building is supposed to be a mix of commercial, retail, condo's, and a high end hotel all of which are in high demand now in downtown.
