We’re Finalists! Zeton and Rails Named in the 2025 Brick by Brick Awards

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: two of our recent projects—Zeton U.S. Properties Inc. and Rails on Main—have been named finalists in this year’s Brick by Brick Awards, hosted by Buffalo Business First!

These awards celebrate the best in Buffalo’s architecture, construction, and real estate—so being recognized for not just one, but two projects is a huge honor for our team.

Zeton U.S. Properties, Inc.

Finalist: Industrial Category

Zeton’s new space is all about clean, smart design for cutting-edge manufacturing. From the outside, it’s bold and modern—but the real magic happens inside. The layout is designed to support high-tech production with a focus on efficiency, safety, and comfort for the people working there every day. It’s proof that industrial buildings can be both functional and beautiful—and we’re proud to have helped make it happen.

Rails on Main

Finalist: Multi-Residential Category

The Rails stands as a new transit-oriented development and is a powerful testament to Buffalo’s ability to honor its industrial heritage while embracing the future of urban living. What was once a dormant, contaminated brownfield site has been thoughtfully reimagined into a dynamic residential community that prioritizes design, functionality, resident experience, and connection to the surrounding community through its proximity to various modes of transportation. Through innovative construction methods, strategic planning, and a strong focus on amenities, The Rails has not only reshaped the physical landscape of North Buffalo but also contributed to the neighborhood’s cultural and economic revitalization. As it welcomes new residents and breathes life back into Main Street, The Rails serves as a model for sustainable, community-focused redevelopment—proof that with vision and collaboration, even the most neglected spaces can be transformed into places people are proud to call home.

Why This Matters

Every project we take on is a chance to shape the city in a meaningful way. Seeing Zeton and Rails recognized alongside some of the best work happening in Buffalo is incredibly rewarding—for us, our partners, and especially our clients who trusted us with their vision.

We’re looking forward to the awards ceremony this July and celebrating with the amazing local design and development community.

Thanks to everyone who helped bring these projects to life—and fingers crossed for the big win!
