The West Seneca Planning Board will begin its review of the Seneca Mall project during its April 10th meeting.Two smaller anchor buildings, each around 15,000 square feet, are included in the initial site plan.Also planned are seven smaller outparcel buildings that could potentially house such tenants as banks, restaurants, or retail outlets.The former Seneca Mall, first developed in the late 1960s, sat virtually vacant by the early 1990s, and the property was demolished.Several development plans were proposed, including the Shops at Seneca Mall plan by the Pyramid Cos., owners of the Walden Galleria, but none ever went beyond the initial proposal phase.Benchmark Streamline, along with co-development partner NS Retail Holdings LLC, paid $22 million for the Seneca Mall property in late December 2024 with plans to move forward on development plans.</div></body>
