@Griffith @Gran3Walder @NeoDelorean Let's do some digging.
First sold in March 2022 to a "local investment group" under NDA. The church was approached by the group. The group planned massive $22 million renovations to be done "with respect", removing statues and religious artifacts but keeping the pews. Hmmm.

In November of the same year, the property was sold to the Islamic group Buffalo Crescent Holdings for a measly $250,000.

And then this year the faculties themselves sold for $2 million to Albany Herkimer Campus LLC, an affiliate of developer Faizan Haq.

Faizan is the founder of WNYMuslims, an organization which hosts the interfaith event Salam Shalom Conversations

>Faizan Haq, founder of WNYMuslims, emphasized on developing new bonds and spread the awareness about the cultural values between the two communities, and pondered upon on strengthening interfaith relationship through social exchange and wants to use Salam Shalom Conversations as a networking channel.

The church was a gift.
