After: This client expanded their existing master suite by doing a ground-level addition.

Kevin Bunnell, Renovation Design Group

We discussed last week the different levels of remodeling master suites, which range from a basic cosmetic makeover to more in-depth construction projects.

There is no problem with simply sprucing up a master suite by upgrading the furniture, bedding and paint if the space is working well for you. However, we do not feel it is a good investment to put "lipstick on the pig" if you are lacking the space or layout required to actually qualify for a master suite.

We define a master suite as a bedroom, generous closet space and a private bathroom. If you need to create such a space in your home, this is when an architect should be included in the project. Depending on your house and its existing floor plan, you may be able to move some walls to capture space to create a master suite. A common scenario is reconfiguring an adjacent bedroom and/or bathroom to become part of the master suite. While losing a bedroom is significant relative to property value, providing a lovely master suite is usually a reasonable financial trade-off.

If all the existing space in your home is being used, an addition will be required to meet the goals and needs of the homeowners in terms of a master suite. Working with an architect will help you determine the best location for the master suite.

Main level bedrooms are popular now as homeowners of all ages are projecting into the future, embracing the concept of "aging in place." This arrangement uses the upper or lower floors for childrens or guest bedrooms, but keeps the master suite (and the laundry) on the main level to allow a couple or individual to function in the home without being obliged to use stairs.

One of the challenges of this type of addition is how to access the new master suite. Clearly, you should never have to walk through one room to get to another, but you also dont want to enter the master suite off the kitchen or mud room either. The flow of the entire house needs to be considered to make the revised plan work seamlessly.

Lot size will figure into the decision of where to place the new master suite; some lots are too small to accommodate an addition on the main level. This leaves putting it upstairs or downstairs. While we generally do not think of basements as being appropriate for master suites, we have worked with creative clients who have created wonderful lower level retreats. Ceiling heights are usually set on the main level (unless you want to tear the whole roof off and rebuilt it), but basements can be dug lower and windows and window wells can be enlarged to provide a spacious, light-filled environment. Combined with the fact that well-constructed lower levels are quieter, cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, you may want to think out of the box regarding this location.

Many people have romantic notions about a master suite on the upper level. This option often allows you to take advantage of views not available from the main level. It also requires a new staircase, and these take up more room than you may think. Often a bedroom or some other room on the main level will need to be sacrificed to provide space for the new stairs. If you are considering adding a partial second story just big enough to accommodate the new master suite, be sure you work with an architect to assure that it doesnt look like your addition fell from the sky and landed randomly on your home.

Soon, if reports are accurate, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will be presented with a bill to extend temporarily the states Brownfield Cleanup Program. For Buffalo, Western New York and other regions with contaminated properties that will not otherwise be developed, it is urgent that he approve the legislation.

Indeed, the measure is perfectly aligned with the governors determination to restart the Buffalo economy. The signature project in that massive effort, the RiverBend project, is being constructed on a remediated brownfield site.

The program provides valuable tax credits to developers who undertake the challenge of reusing old industrial sites that would otherwise remain contaminated eyesores.

The tax credits will end unless Cuomo signs the bill, which would extend it through March 31, 2017. That would give lawmakers and the governor sufficient time to craft a permanent extension that deals with some of the objections that Cuomo and others have, including gross misuse of the law in Manhattan.

Those issues absolutely need to be fixed, but Cuomo must not allow a critical program to end because some people have abused it. The Brownfield Cleanup Program has been fundamental to Buffalos change in fortunes, and some projects now planned will fail unless he agrees to the extension.

Among those developments is Project Hello, a planned $102 million development expected to create more than 170 local jobs with average earnings of $72,500. Reports are that Alita USA Holdings, the steelmaker planning to locate in South Buffalo, will not proceed if the legislation is not extended by the end of the year, now just over two weeks away. Just the uncertainty over the programs renewal is causing jitters among developers in Western New York.

Whatever its defects, the measure provides the necessary financial push to overcome the risks and expenses of building on brownfield sites. According to the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, which is advocating on behalf of the bill, the program has leveraged more development in Erie County 28 projects than any other in New York since 2008. In the same period, 10 projects in Niagara County have used the program, seventh-most in the state. By the Partnerships reckoning, the program has played a role in the creation of more than 4,200 jobs and millions of dollars in development.

Those are staggering figures, and evidence of the programs importance to Western New York. Also staggering is even a short list of some of the projects that have proceeded because of the program. They include Conventus, a center for collaborative medicine under construction on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus; the HealthNow headquarters on West Genesee Street in Buffalo; One Canalside, the project that transformed a dreary state office building into a new hotel and law office across Scott Street from the HarborCenter development; and the $31.7 million project to turn the former F.N. Burt box factory on Seneca Street into high-end office space and apartments.

Cuomo has poured his heart into restarting the Buffalo economy and evidence of those efforts is all around. Failure to extend this program threatens to interrupt the progress that is under way.

Ongoing developments may not suffer, but long-term success depends to a great extent upon capitalizing on the momentum that Cuomo has set in motion. If the momentum flags, so will Buffalos prospects. In a city where brownfields are ubiquitous, a program to remediate them is essential.
