Two months after securing Buffalo’s historic Dun Building, McGuire Development is set to transform the 130-year-old landmark into a mixed-use, residential-focused project. This adaptive reuse effort seeks to revitalize the city’s first high-rise and breathe new life into downtown Buffalo.

Violent crime in Seattle’s downtown commercial core fell by 36% this summer compared to last year, according to new data. Observers say the Downtown Seattle Association’s Revitalization Dashboard has played a critical role in guiding restoration efforts, signaling renewed optimism for the city center.
