TRANSCRIPT
Connect A new system of roads, pedestrian circulation, and transit define the framework for the urban grid and create a flexible layout of open space and parcels that are adaptable to the market and of a walkable scale.
Restore A holistic approach to regenerative design and development that integrates the rich ecological legacy of the waterfront site with contemporary development, creating a sustainable landscape that complements the plan’s economic and urban dimensions.
Transform RiverBend is comprised of five neighborhoods, with a total development potential of 3,115,000 GSF. Within these neighborhoods, flexible land uses and parcel sizes provide market adaptability for large scale industrial sites to small urban development parcels.
RiverBendTransforming former industrial land into a green, modern, and vital urban neighborhood.
RiverBend, a 200 acre urban redevelopment project on the Buffalo River, features sustainable mixed-use development and a multi-modal transportation infrastructure.
Hon. Byron W. Brown, Chairman
RiverBend
RiverBend and the surrounding Buffalo neighborhood was previously home to the city’s heavy industries, including Republic Steel. Relics of the former era remain in the form of industrial structures – historic grain elevators, bridges, and iconic structures that mark the skyline and establish a distinctive visual identity for RiverBend, unique from downtown and other areas.
These industrial features have been selectively reinterpreted by consultants Sasaki and Biohabitats in the future vision for RiverBend. From a dramatic, new waterfront promenade that traces the steel bulkheaded river’s edge to the implementation of new contemporary wind turbines and green infrastructure throughout the site, RiverBend makes visible its industrial legacy while looking toward a new, green, clean energy future.
A distinct district within Buffalo, New York and the Buffalo Niagara region
