The NAIOP awards celebrate the high-quality and innovative achievements of regional commercial real estate projects from the upstate New York area, covering the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse regions. There are several award categories, and each winning project represents a challenge that was overcome and realized results that were economically, environmentally and/or aesthetically achieved.

Each apartment is equipped with specific technology to help tenants, including open floor plans with high levels of visibility, strategic lighting, safety lights on appliances, vibrating-alarm beds in case of a fire, hard-wired strobe lights for CO2, and fire alarms.
