Queen City Landing is an approved residential tower by developer Gerald Bucheit under construction on the Outer Harbor in Buffalo, New York. The construction will involve the demolition of a 6 story warehouse formerly operated by Freezer Queen Foods and the construction of approximately 200 apartment units. When completed in late 2017, it will be the city's first residential high-rise, with a height of 99m and 23 floors, and the 13th tallest building in Upstate New York.
The tower was targeted in a lawsuit by local environmentalists out of concern that it would pose a danger to bird migration, and also that the city board did not conduct a full environmental study on the site. However, a state Supreme Court judge upheld the city board's decision to build the tower in the ruling, and construction should go ahead as planned.
