BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Diocese of Buffalo announced that the Catholic Center, its central office building located at 795 Main Street, has been listed for sale for $9.8 million.

The diocese said it purchased the building in 1985 and it has served as its central office building since 1986. It was previously the home of the Courier-Express which ceased publication in September of 1982.

According to the diocese, the sale includes:

  • The 95,000-square-foot building at 795 Main Street
  • An additional two-story building at 801 Main Street
  • An adjacent garage structure on Main and Burton Streets
  • Three adjoining parking lots on both the east and west side of Main Street

7 News previously reported that the bankrupt diocese could attempt to sell at least two dozen properties as it faces nearly 900 child sex abuse claims, according to court documents filed in federal court.
