The reimagined Bethlehem Church is now home to 12 unique units

Combining historic architecture and modern design, Buffalo’s newest high-end city condominium project – Cornerstone Lofts – is pleased to announce that the new lofts are now available for purchase.

Built in 1909, Bethlehem Church was the cornerstone of its community. Over a century later, the legacy of this landmark has been restored and brought to new life as Cornerstone Lofts. Lofts are ready for viewing, with an open house being held on Saturday, October 9, 9am-12pm.

Nestled in a close-knit residential community in the heart of Buffalo at 340 Bird Avenue, the development offers a variety of spacious, open floor plans beaming with natural light and featuring original exposed brick, custom designed cabinetry, luxurious finishes, full appliance packages, and private parking.

“Neighboring Buffalo State, and just steps from the art galleries, restaurants, and shopping of the Elmwood Village, Cornerstone Lofts offers more than just a home,” said Robert Blake, Exclusive Agent. “It offers atmosphere, culture, and community.”

“I believe my great-grandfather would have been amazed at how his architectural design has remained intact and has been adapted to be part of Buffalo 112 years after he designed the original structure” said Lucy Miller Haskins, great-granddaughter of Bethlehem Church architect Martin Miller. “He’d be proud that his design has stood the test of time and has been transformed with new life.”

Starting from the low $200,000s, the development preserves the history of the building and its surroundings. “To us, it was important to maintain the look and the feel while modernizing the building to meet today’s design standards, taste, and needs of the community” said Peter Hunt, Partner in Cornerstone Lofts. “Bringing something new to the ever-evolving Buffalo community, this project was designed and built with passion and with spirit for the next generation of Buffalonians.”

Cornerstone Lofts are walking distance to Elmwood Avenue, Delaware Park, The Albright Knox Museum, and Burchfield Penney Art Center, and are minutes from downtown. With floor plans ranging from one to three bedrooms and priced from $219,900–$425,000, residents will be treated to an array of special features including:

• Private street-level entrances for each unit
• Open-concept floor plans
• Soaring ceilings: 18-feet in mezzanine units; 10-feet in garden-level units

HUNT Real Estate ERA acquires Great Spaces ERA located in the Boston suburb of Dorchester.

HUNT Real Estate ERA, the largest brokerage firm in the ERA Real Estate network, has acquired Great Spaces ERA located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. 

Great Spaces, which has 12 agents, was founded in 2014 by industry veterans Nadine Fallon and Jamie Iacoi, and has been in the top 5% of Boston agencies for transaction volume each year since 2017.

HUNT Real Estate already operates 14 offices throughout central and eastern Massachusetts under the name ERA Key Realty Services. The addition of Great Spaces expands the reach of the combined companies, increasing options for homebuyers and sellers, especially in the Boston market.

Great Spaces will benefit from the suite of digital tools and best-in-class infrastructure provided by HUNT and ERA Key, according to Fallon. She added that the company’s emphasis on training, seller services and other support will ensure the agency’s continued growth.

“We wanted to maintain our small, family-owned brokerage feel, but with big brokerage services,” Fallon said. “We got to know the people at HUNT and ERA Key at industry events. Our personalities clicked, our cultures clicked, and here we are.”

“As ERA agencies, we have shared values, which will make the merger seamless,” said ERA Key President and Chief Operating Officer Cheryl Eidinger-Taylor. “By joining forces, we have an opportunity to establish a major presence in the Boston market.”

“We are thrilled to welcome the experienced team at Great Spaces ERA into our HUNT Real Estate family,” said Charles F. Hunt, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, HUNT Real Estate ERA. “This partnership creates an opportunity to provide Boston-area buyers and sellers a wider range of homeownership services, including access to our in-house mortgage brokerage, HUNT Mortgage.”

Great Spaces ERA will retain its name and current office at 5 Savin Hill Avenue in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
