An internationally acclaimed resort architect and an "Iron Chef" television celebrity have been recruited by an Amherst developer bent on saving three deserted brick buildings to create an upscale inn at Fort Niagara State Park. William Huntress said his firm, Acquest Development, has hired Nunzio DeSantis of Dallas-based HKS Architects, "probably the best resort architect in the world," to draw up plans to save the three historic buildings and create two new ones.
Despite some vocal opposition, the Amherst Town Board voted, 4- 2, to sell the historically connected St. Mary of the Angels boilerhouse and garage complex at Amherst State Park to Acquest Development for $100,000. The town has been trying for some time to rid itself of the dilapidated buildings at 404 Mill St. associated with the historic St. Mary of the Angels Motherhouse building, which has been redeveloped as a senior housing complex.
Developer William Huntress is a smart and cunning businessman. Over time, he's built a reputation for acquiring property, and designing and constructing new office buildings that he typically fills with government tenants. The Niagara Center in downtown Buffalo is a good example. He also partnered initially with Uniland Development on the transformation of the former Dulski building on Delaware Avenue into the impressive Avant. But while local often face controversy and criticism, Huntress and his company, Acquest Development, stand out from the crowd. The pile of lawsuits filed against Huntress and Acquest over the years is one measure of a man described as arrogant, vindictive and self-serving by those who have stood in his way.
An Amherst developer has signed a lease with the state and is awaiting final approval of a $15 million-plus proposal to create a hotel complex in abandoned, historic buildings in Fort Niagara State Park. We're trying to help Western New York save these historical assets, said William Huntress," owner of Acquest Development. "And we're trying -- on a small scale -- to turn the Niagara area around. This will be as nice as anything in Niagara-on-the-Lake, or even nicer.
If Pittsburgh is to ever find a developer to build a hotel adjacent to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, it may have less than the 500 rooms the city wants, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said. In a speech to area real estate agents, Ravenstahl said the city has reduced the number of rooms required in any addition, but he did not reveal a number.
