SYRACUSE — Appel Osborne Landscape Architecture, a Syracuse–based firm, is opening a new office in Buffalo on Oct. 21.
The new 1,290-square-foot, leased office, located in Suite 400 at 50 Elk St. in Buffalo, is in a newly renovated mixed-use building — The Silos at Elk Street, which is listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places. The building has been home to multiple malting companies beginning in the 1890s. It was vacant from 1986 until the Silos at Elk Street, LLC took ownership in 2015, according to Appel Osborne.
At the time of the office opening, Appel Osborne will have four full-time employees working there, says Jessica L. Smith, the firm’s marketing manager. The space allows for further growth in staff, she adds.
Appel Osborne says it needs the new office because in recent years, its work in Western New York has “grown substantially with new clients and projects throughout the region.”
“The opening of this second office is a milestone for our firm and an effort to enhance the service we provide. While our two offices are now in different areas of the state, our office technologies allow seamless communication between both locations,” the firm said in a news release.
Appel Osborne, founded in 1975, is a landscape architecture and site engineering firm. The firm’s services include construction documents, contract administration, environmental and agency compliance, land planning, promotional services, site engineering, and sustainable design, according to its website.
The firm has 28 total employees —15 licensed landscape architects, two project managers, eight project designers, and three administrative staff, according to Smith.
Appel Osborne’s headquarters is located at the Oak Knitting Mill building at 102 West Division St. in Syracuse.
