Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The former Transfiguration Church, a late 19th-century Gothic Revival structure, presents a redevelopment opportunity. Architectural and engineering plans are in place to transform the site into a residential development featuring approximately 14 apartments while preserving the historic exterior. The redevelopment project has an estimated budget of $6.3 million, with projected monthly gross rents of $2,800 per unit and annualized income exceeding $700,000. The property is located on Buffalo’s East Side, minutes from Downtown Buffalo, with accessibility to major roadways including the Kensington Expressway (NY-33), the I-190, and I-90. It is less than two miles from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and a short drive from Canisius College, SUNY Buffalo State, and the University at Buffalo’s downtown campus. KeyBank Center, Sahlen Field, and the LECOM Harbor Center are also nearby. The 16,983+/- SF site is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, emerging redevelopment projects, and diverse cultural communities. The building has suffered deterioration, including roof collapse and structural damage. The sellers would prefer to stay involved in the development after closing.

Key Highlights

• Projected annualized income in excess of $700,000 with estimated monthly gross rents of $2,800 per unit.
