We met through mutual friends out on the water at Grass Island.

Established in 1917, but left for ruin since the early 2000’s, the former Buffalo Color plant is now Buffalo’s premier event center. An iconic revitalization fueling a new era of growth in Buffalo. Constructed in 1917, The Schoellkopf Powerhouse was originally the home of Aniline Chemical Company, a manufacturer for dyes and different colorants for the textile industry. Providing resilient, brilliant color formulations to industry, Schoellkopf became the World Leader of dye and color products. In the early 1930’s, Schoellkopf merged with the Aniline Chemical Company from New Jersey to form Allied Chemical Corporation. In 1976, Allied Chemical sold the facility to Buffalo Color Corporation. After roughly 25 years of operations, Buffalo Color closed, and the 45-acre production facility sat fallow for almost a decade. In 2008, OSC Holdings, Inc, through South Buffalo Development, LLC, partnered with Honeywell to fully remediate and develop a new vision for the property. Today, the vacant facility has emerged from the last century into a fully developed sports, entertainment, and commercial complex as Buffalo Color Park!
