Construction
The new building replaces the two-story Delaware Court building (1917–2014) at the northwest corner of Delaware Avenue and Chippewa Street[3] and occupies a 1.95-acre site.[1] The new building replicates the iconic curved façade of the old, using terracotta features of the original structure.[4] 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.[5] 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.[how?] In 2019, the building received a LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.[6][7]
Operations
The Delaware North Building serves as headquarters for namesake company Delaware North, which also operates a 116-room Westin hotel and Patina 250 restaurant within the building.[8] Other tenants include KeyBank offices and retail branch, UBS Financial Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the Cullen Foundation, and Osteopathic Wellness Medicine.[9]
