Construction
The new building replaces the two-story Delaware Court building (1917–2014) at the northwest corner of Delaware Avenue and Chippewa Street[2] and occupies a 1.95-acre site.[1] The new building replicates the iconic curved façade of the old, using terra cotta features of the original structure.[3] The building features 193,000 sq ft of class A office space on the sixth through 12th floors, a 116-room hotel occupying 104,000 sq ft, 18,000 sq ft of retail space, and indoor parking for 593 vehicles in a five-level attached parking ramp.[4] The building's 2,600-square-foot lobby features the largest living green wall in Western New York, a 22 ft × 21 ft expanse of plants providing beauty, improving indoor air quality, and reducing energy use. The building was designed and constructed to achieve a LEED-Silver certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.
Operations
The Delaware North Building serves as the new headquarters for namesake company Delaware North, which also operates a 116-room Westin hotel and Patina 250 restaurant within the building.[5] Other tenants include KeyBank offices and retail branch, UBS Financial Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the Cullen Foundation, and Osteopathic Wellness Medicine.[6]
