CityView Construction Management ( CVCM ) is the Construction Manager for Genesee Gateway, currently under renovation and construction in the central business district. CVCM is owned by Bill Jones.These developers have great depth and experience in commercial real estate with expertise in general and electrical contracting, architecture and business ownership.CityView Construction Management is responsible for the restoration of the Larkin at Exchange Building. In August of 2002 the decision was made by the partners, Howard Zemsky, Doug Swift, Bill Jones and Joe Petrella to undertake its largest commercial real estate development. They purchased the 600, 000 square foot, 10-story building formerly owned and occupied by Graphic Controls. Within 36 months later the building has benefited by an investment of nearly $60MM in improvements and is occupied by dozens of tenants ranging from law offices, engineering firms, advertising agencies and even the back-office support departments for the largest health care provider in Western New York. Ninety-nine percent ( 99% ) leased with more than 1, 900 people per day working at Larkin at Exchange this property is part of a neighborhood that will soon be well-known as the Larkin District. The LCo campus tenants enjoy amenities including a fitness center, childcare center, full-service cafe, conference center, convenience store, salon and more.When some principals of CityView developed City Centre office and luxury residential condominiums in the early 1990's, the Main/Chippewa Streets of Buffalo were underutilized and less than desirable. City Centre now ( and for many years ) boasts a waiting list for the luxury condominiums, the office portion enjoys high occupancy and this property, in part, spurred the well-known success of this neighborhood. The Root Building, located at 70W. Chippewa was the second venture and is over 99% leased. In 2004 CityView completed the construction of a 20, 000+/- square foot annex addition to this property leased to the Buffalo Board of Education. The Board leases the first three floors of The Root Building and the entire 32, 880 square foot annex for the very successful Emerson School of Culinary Arts.In 2002, CityView decided to build a 20, 500+/- square foot building at the corner of Main Streets and Chippewa. Situated in the heart of Buffalo's Commercial Business District and Buffalo Theatre District, 598 Main Street is a premier example of state-of-the-art construction through the use of high-quality materials and 21st century technology mechanical systems.June 2007 brought the unveiling of The Larkin District Plan. The Larkin District Plan seeks to enhance an urban neighborhood known for its livability, convenience and character. Located just east of the central core of Buffalo, the historic Larkin District is a prime business and residential location downtown. The Larkin District lies immediately north of Interstate-190, with the nearby Smith Street exit providing ready access to the rest of the city, the airport Niagara Falls and Canada.Much like the gateways off the I-190 at Smith Street, the Genesee Gateway Project is an important key entrance that provides the critical first impression of a neighborhood. Successful gateways help to create, retain and reinforce the distinctive features that give an urban district its unique identity. CityView Construction Management, with its unique partnering with the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation, has exhibited the infrastructure and depth of knowledge and experience to lead and direct this Genesee Gateway Project to fruition.
