BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Work on the Heritage Point development project at Canalside, a key initiative aimed at boosting one of Western New York's largest tourist destinations, could soon resume.
The $40 million mixed-use project, spearheaded by Sinatra & Co., broke ground in 2021 but has remained stagnant since March 2024.
Despite assurances made earlier this year that the project was "back on course" after securing additional funding, including a $4 million loan from Empire State Development, there has been no visible progress at the Heritage Point site.
In April, Sinatra & Co. said work was scheduled to resume before the end of June.
On Wednesday, Nick Sinatra was asked by a Buffalo News reporter about where things stand:
Sinatra: It's gonna be completed, and it will start this summer, and that's all I'm gonna say about it.
Reporter: So, there is no work going on there right now?
Sinatra: There is not any work going on there right now and there hasn't been in a while. Correct.
Reporter: And it's going to be this summer?
Sinatra: It's going to be this summer.
Reporter: Early? Late summer?
Sinatra: It's gonna be this summer.
Reporter: It's gonna be this summer?
Sinatra: Yes.
