Coffey Modica LLP, a defense litigation firm representing businesses and insurance companies in liability claims, excess property and casualty, medical malpractice, nursing and other professional industries, has further solidified its presence in Western New York with the leasing of new, expanded offices bordering the Downtown Buffalo, N.Y. business district.
Located at 525 Delaware Ave., the expansive 6,100-square-foot building is in the heart of Buffalo’s historic and prestigious “Millionaires’ Row” district with accessibility to all major Downtown Buffalo courthouses, including Buffalo City Court, Erie County Family Court, and Erie County Courthouse.
“525 Delaware Avenue is the ideal location to meaningfully continue Coffey Modica’s Western and Central New York expansion,” said Managing Partner Maxwell Bottini. “Not only does this building have deep historical ties to one of the most storied legal experts in the city, but it is situated in a strategic location allowing easy access to all the major Downtown Buffalo courthouses.”
The office space was designed in 1896 by E.B. Green, a leading architect in Buffalo during the early 20th Century. Green also played a prominent role in the development of Delaware Avenue into the prestigious location for mansions at the time.
Building features include multiple large conference rooms for meetings and collaboration, a Victorian staircase, refurbished oak floors, five fireplaces and a marbled bathroom. The property also includes an additional attached parcel, providing parking for 37 cars, accessible from both Delaware Avenue and Virginia Place, along with a detached 2-car garage.
The law firm leased the entire building from an LLC that recently acquired the property in a $1.25 million transaction brokered by Leah Curione and Heidi Nuessle of Hunt Commercial Real Estate, Buffalo, N.Y. The firm’s 11-member Buffalo team will move into this new office space, with room for expansion as the firm plans to continue to grow in the Western and Central New York regions.
“As our presence in Western and Central New York continues to expand and we take on a larger case load, it is exciting for our team to move into such a beautiful and historically significant building,” said Patricia Mooney, New York Managing Partner. “We have no doubt that this move will help Coffey Modica to continue to provide the best legal teams and outstanding results for our clients.”
