As we wrap up the last of 11 commercial spaces in this building, we couldn’t resist sharing how far this project has come from start to finish and showing this amazing transformation.

The Barcalo Living & Commerce. 116 Apartments and 11 commercial Spaces. This 160,000 Square-foot historical building was a massive undertaking.

This project had it all from asbestos abatement and brownfield cleanup to demolition, framing, drywall, and full MEP system installations. Completing this project during the height of COVID came with its share of challenges — from material shortages to strict safety restrictions — but our team’s dedication and adaptability ensured we delivered a successful project despite it all.

Edward J. Barcolo founded the Barcalo Manufacturing Company in 1896. The company manufactured beds, bedding and small tools but expanded into the furniture market. By the early 1950s the company had over 550 employees
*1890 - 20 year old Edward Joel Barcalo came to Buffalo and worked for Buffalo Brass and Iron Bedstead Company
