Residential
Affordable.
Luxury.
Quality.
These are the three integral components that
Buck Construction strives to achieve for each
and every homeowner.
Multifamily
An Affordable
Investment
The multi-family home is a wise choice for developers, investors, and/or the common hardworking American that would like to supplement their income, offset their mortgage, or own a rental property of their own. They can also be used to care for the aging or physically dependant family member as well.

Historical
Rehabilitation
Genesee Tower Apts and Mary D Buck Memorial Apts are splendid examples of a graceful, older building put to new use and a new building built for graceful, older people. Historical rehabilitation of old buildings is one of our preferences.

144-unit apartment complex
Schuyler Commons is a 144-unit apartment complex designed specifically to fit the needs of the 55+ community. These apartments allow maturing adults to downsize their means of living, while still being able to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Together, Steve and Rick Buck project managed this complex together beginning on June 1, 2007 and finishing it on time and within budget August of 2008.
Development
Genesee Tower
Genesee Tower was built in 1901 by the Utica City National Bank as the first “skyscraper” in Utica. In later years it housed the offices of Utica Fire Insurance Company. Finally, empty and outdated, the building was purchased and redeveloped by our organization into 66 apartments for elderly. Another one of our projects, Historical Park Apartments, was built in 1974, also as housing for the elderly, in one of Utica’s historical districts.
Mary D Buck Memorial Apts was built in 1980 as one of the newest and most lovely independent living apartments for the elderly anywhere. Designed with the latest in safety security and energy features, this is a very special building to the members of our family and the people who live in it.

Harmony Mills
The Harmony Mills are comprised of three buildings that make up an 850,000 sq. ft. complex that sets right along the Mohawk River with a beautiful view of the Hudson Falls. At the time of its operation in 1872, the mills were the largest cotton mill complex in the world. The projected goal of this renovation is to create a community of high-end residential lofts, much like those seen in the SoHo/TriBeCa area in New York City.
After the completion of the first phase in 2007, the 96 units quickly gained 100% occupancy. On February 5, 2010, Harmony Mills owners Uri Kaufman and Ira Schwartz, as well as the Harmony Group celebrated the commencement of Phase II in an official groundbreaking ceremony. This phase will add 135 units to the existing 96, as well as an indoor swimming pool.

Professional Experience
EMPAC-Performing Arts Center

Extremely sharp sloping site features on a postage stamp sized site. Building size of 375,000 SF built on a 3 acre site footprint.
Design/Build requirements on a fast track schedule.
Over 7000 embedded items and box-out locations.
Over 2000 detail changes on the fly mostly occurring within 8 hours of pour time.
Albany NanoFab
In January of 2001 the State University of NY at Albany embarked on the monumental task of entering the ultra competitive market of Research and Development of 300 mm microprocessor wafers. The project consisted of three phases.
Project Success:
After three years of project leadership this program has proven to be the single most successful endeavor SUNY Albany has ever undertaken as well as Welliver McGuire Inc, being delivered on time and under budget.
- Development of an incubator office and lab space to collaborate with the ongoing R & D of this technology.
- Develop 70,000 SF of class 100-cleanroom space inside 368,000 SF of support building that would become the foundation of attractiveness for Global Leaders
- Installation of the computer chip collaboration business (ISMT) with member firms as IBM, Intel, Infineon, Invent, Texas Instruments and others.
- World’s most cutting edge wafer building tooling into the world’s most advanced cleanroom facility.
- This aggressive program had the impending challenges of:
- Designing, building, and fit-up on a fast track schedule with the procurement constraints and red tape of the NYS government.
- Delivery of the project within a concrete budget set from a conceptual narrative only of what the facility would be.
- Value engineering the facility at 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% level of design to fit within the stages of funding availability over an extended schedule.
