Summary
[edit]DescriptionDent Tower, Amherst, New York - 20221022.jpg |
English: A sidelong view of the Dent Tower at 3980 Sheridan Drive in Amherst, New York, as seen on an October 2022 evening showing the electronic time-and-temperature display that has long been an iconic landmark for commuters along Interstate 290. Still a relatively unusual example in Western New York of a tall office building in a suburban location, planning for what was originally to have been an eight-story, 130,000-square-foot structure began in August 1969, when Buffalo Savings Bank president William H. Harder touted its location "in the middle of the Buffalo-Amherst Corridor", which he close because it would "serv[e] an area where there may well be 70,000 new housing units by 1985" (not to mention an enormous new campus for the University at Buffalo whose development was set to begin imminently). However, construction was put off until February 1971 due to a rise in building costs, and when complete, it was only six stories tall and about half the square footage as originally planned. The first floor was retained by the bank for its Sheridan-Harlem branch and some administrative offices, while the upper ones were leased to a variety of different tenants (early ones of which included the Siegfried Construction Company, which leased half of the top floor, and the local branch of Kelly Services). The bank retained its space through its 1982 rebrand as Goldome, and after the latter's 1991 bankruptcy the building was among the assets purchased by KeyBank. Key converted the facility to a full-fledged "financial center" in 1997, offering investment and brokerage services as well as retail banking, while in the meantime, medical offices came to predominate among the upper-floor tenants beginning around the 1990s. In 2002, KeyBank finally vacated the space in favor of a smaller standalone building next door, whereupon the building's new owners commenced a $6 million renovation wherein the entire interior was gutted, all-new HVAC systems installed, a new roof was built, and all windows were replaced with energy-efficient reflective glass. DENT Neurologic Institute is now the building's anchor tenant and namesake. |
