Previous building
For 81 years (1876–1957), the six-story, cast iron, Buffalo German Insurance Company Building (a Second Empire-style office building built by Richard A. Waite) existed on current land site prior to the Tishman Building.
History
The Tishman building was home to the Fortune 500 company, National Fuel Gas (formerly Iroquois Gas) until 2003 when the company relocated to the Buffalo suburb of Williamsville.
In May 2011, the Amherst-based Hamister Group purchased the Tishman building. They spent $41 million renovating the building into a mixed use complex including the 123-room Hilton Garden Inn Buffalo Downtown, two floors of apartments, and three floors of office space.{{cite web | url=http://www.buffalorising.com/2012/03/vertical-mixed-use-good-fit-for-tishman-building.html | title=Vertical Mixed-Use Good Fit for Tishman Building | publisher=buffalorising.com | date=March 20, 2012 | accessdate=May 9, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322214828/http://www.buffalorising.com/2012/03/vertical-mixed-use-good-fit-for-tishman-building.html | archive-date=March 22, 2012 | url-status=dead }}
