The developer of the Ellicott Station, now in its 10th<\/sup> year since being introduced to the public by City of Batavia officials, on Thursday said he\u2019s hoping to begin work on the commercial portion of the mixed-use project at 50-56 Ellicott St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re about 98 percent done\u201d with the 55-unit apartment building,\u201d said Samuel Savarino, chief executive officer and president of Savarino Companies of Buffalo. \u201cAnd, I believe, we\u2019re scheduled to meet with the planners (City Planning & Development Committee) at their August meeting (regarding the commercial\/retail\/brewery space).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The agenda of the Aug. 18 PDC meeting has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savarino said that he had to submit new plans on behalf of Ellicott Station Commercial LLC to the planning committee in order to eventually obtain a building permit. He said the plans have to line up with the city\u2019s updated 2026 building code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No work has been done on the commercial structure, which formerly was owned by Soccio & Della Penna construction company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the apartment complex is concerned, Savarino said work took longer than expected but is almost finished. After that, he said he hopes to finalize a purchase agreement with PathStone Development Corp. of Rochester, which has signed on to buy and operate the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Savarino pegged the purchase price at around $17 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have signed an agreement to purchase but it would close after we complete the construction, Savarino said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
