- Architectural firm: Canon Design
- Developer: Kaleida Health
- Building Use: Other
- Project Type: New Build
- Floors: 4
- Cost: $64 million
- Description of Project: Kaleida Health is preparing to build a 300-bed nursing home, another big project connected to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus that advocates say will significantly improve services for the elderly in the inner city.
The $64 million building, planned for the block bounded by Michigan Avenue and Maple, East North and High streets, will be the first nursing home built in Buffalo in many decades.
It will rank as one of the largest nursing homes in the region and will fill a gap in long-term-care services resulting from the disappearance in recent years of Grace Manor, Nazareth and other facilities in the city.
James Kaskie, president and chief executive officer of Kaleida Health, said the project will benefit the Fruit Belt neighborhood, the hospital system and the medical campus.
“When you step back and think about the investments that are being made, if you understand facilities, what we’re planning is so much more efficient and improved for medicine than what we have now,” he said.
The project will replace two nursing homes operated by Kaleida Health — the 242-bed Deaconess Center on Humboldt Parkway and a 75-bed skilled-nursing unit in Millard Fillmore Hospital at Gates Circle.
