Resolute Wealth Planning Office Renovation Complete: A Historic Space Reimagined

Resolute Wealth Office Reception Area

Elev8 Architecture is proud to celebrate the completion of the Resolute Wealth Planning office renovation, marking the successful transformation of a long-standing local landmark into a vibrant, modern professional space.

Originally constructed in the early 1800s, the building at 4936 Ellicott Road has lived many lives, most recently as Eckl’s Restaurant. With a history that includes relocation, multiple additions, and decades of community presence, the structure presented both a unique opportunity and a meaningful responsibility. The design approach centered on honoring that legacy while introducing a fresh identity aligned with its new tenants.

Resolute Wealth Office Exterior Before & After

The completed project delivers a thoughtful balance between historic character and contemporary design. The exterior has been revitalized to create a clean, welcoming presence, while the interior has been fully reimagined to support modern office functionality. The two story, 3,561 square foot building now houses Resolute Wealth Planning on the ground floor, with additional tenant spaces above.

In addition to private offices, the building features thoughtfully designed shared amenities that support collaboration and flexibility among tenants. A central co working space provides an open, comfortable environment for informal meetings, focused work, or day to day interaction, fostering a sense of community within the building. The shared kitchen offers a welcoming place for tenants to gather, recharge, and connect throughout the day. Complementing these spaces is a fully equipped conference room that can be reserved as needed, providing professional settings for client meetings, presentations, and team discussions. Together, these shared elements enhance the functionality of the building while creating a more dynamic and connected workplace experience.

Resolute Wealth Planning’s new office reflects its commitment to a holistic approach to financial planning, offering clients a warm, professional environment designed to support meaningful conversations and long term relationships. Complementing this vision, HumanKind Wellness has also opened within the building, expanding the site’s role in supporting both financial and personal well being in the community.

In addition to HumanKind Wellness, Elev8 Architecture is also excited to now call this building home. Our Buffalo office, located on the second floor, is fully operational and reflects our design philosophy in a built form. The space serves not only as a workplace for our team, but also as a living example of how thoughtful design can transform existing structures into inspiring, functional environments.

This project represents more than a renovation. It is a continuation of the building’s story and a reinvestment in the surrounding neighborhood. By bringing new life to a historic structure, the project contributes to the ongoing evolution of the community while preserving a meaningful piece of its past.

Resolute Wealth Planning Office Renovation at Former Eckl’s Restaurant

Construction is underway at the new Resolute Wealth Planning office!  Elev8 is working with Resolute Wealth Planning on the design and conversion of this 1816's structure, the former Eckl’s restaurant. The building was originally constructed in a different location in Orchard Park and began its life as a tavern.  In 1963, it was relocated after being condemned by the state to facilitate the widening of South Buffalo and Chestnut Ridge Road due to its proximity to the road.  Eckl’s recently left this location to start a new venture in the Larkin District. Over the years, this historic structure has undergone many renovations and additions.

The structure now plans to undergo a complete transformation that includes a modern revamp of its exterior and new office spaces on its interior. This two-story, 3,561 square foot structure will now house Resolute Wealth Planning’s office on the ground floor, as well as two additional office spaces on the second floor. Elev8 Architecture is thrilled to be one of those new tenants, relocating our Buffalo office to the second floor of this building.
