The F&M Building has been a fixture of downtown Lockport for over a century. We're proud to be the ones bringing it back.

Sixteen market-rate apartments, ground-floor commercial space, and a basement ready for its next life as a café, salon, or bar.

Work starts later this year. Can't wait to show you what's inside! Thank you for the feature, 7 News WKBW!

Lockport's long-abandoned Farmers & Mechanics Bank Building is set for a major redevelopment that would bring luxury apartments and commercial tenants to one of downtown's most prominent structures.

We have more to share on the F&M Building in Lockport from Jonathan D. Epstein at The Buffalo News.

Savarino Companies closed on the six-story Beaux-Arts landmark built in 1905 as the Farmers & Mechanics Savings Bank last week. Vacant for nearly 40 years, it is the tallest building in the city.

The renovation will bring 16 market-rate apartments to the upper floors, restore the original bank floor and ornamental plaster at street level, and create space for a bar, restaurant, or café below.

Construction begins this year, with completion expected in late 2027.

Developer Samuel Savarino completed his purchase of the six-story Farmers & Mechanics Savings Bank building in Lockport, with plans to turn it into 16 luxury apartments on the upper floors and "high-end" commercial and retail space on the two lower levels.

Stay tuned for updates.

Developer Sam Savarino has purchased a historic six-story bank building in the City of Lockport, moving forward with a project he's been circling for several years.

We here at Savarino Companies are proud and honored to play our part in this important project.
