With all the negative publicity surrounding economic development in Buffalo, it's nice to report on some real progress in the city. The latest is the reopening of the Hotel Lafayette tonight with a black tie event that is expected to have some 2000 guests.

When it comes to Buffalo architecture it seems that what was old is (or is about to be) new again. It all started with the old federal court building that was gutted down to its skeleton and reformed into a beautiful work of art we call the Avant building on Delaware Avenue.

Developers like Rocco Termini and Mark Croce have under taken a sort of  renaissance in the community when it comes to downtown Buffalo.  With the abundance of run down buildings in Buffalo there is an endless supply of stock just begging to be restored.

Here is our list of the top five restoration projects completed and on going in the city of Buffalo.
