Lake Erie Waterfront Commercial Property with Marina

South End Marina

1515 Fuhrmann Blvd. Buffalo, NY

Boat Marina with Concrete Grain Elevator Building: This unique property is 1400 feet long, extending from the middle of Old Route 5 to 30 feet past the end of the pier, and 400 feet wide which consists of approximately 180 feet of land with water rights extending approximately 130 feet to the south and 90 feet to the north. The property’s access to the waters ofLake Erie on three sides is a tremendous asset.  These waters, protected by theBuffaloOuterHarbor break wall, make up approximately 6 acres of the total 12.18 acre property. The private ownership of water rights around this property are a unique and advantageous feature giving ownership of the water around the land from the surface of the water to the bottom of the lake.

 The building itself is currently used for boat storage on the ground floor.  The top floor (bin floor) is open and is 75’ x 530’ or 39,750 sq. ft.  The building is structurally sound. Concrete bore holes were tested by Buffalo Concrete Cutting and deemed excellent.

Vehicle access is excellent, the infrastructure and utilities are readily available or extendable, and the political climate is positive.  The former grain elevator building located on the property is readily developable, whether as an adaptive reuse or “from the ground up”.

 Particularly noteworthy is the factNew YorkStatetook possession in 2005 of the adjacent piece of property which lies directly to the north for a park and beach. Further north, plans are in place to develop a 120 acre parcel of waterfront property. These plans include building residential units as well as commercial retail space.

 South End Marina has participated in two previous studies of their own with two ofBuffalo’s finest development groups. Borings for a conventional break wall, floating docks (blue prints by Richard Hayden of Alpine Docks), environmental impact studies and more have been completed. 

 The Seneca Nation of Indians started building a casino just 1.2 miles away. South End Marina’s location is a prime area for hotels, corporate offices, restaurant, condos or a marina.
