Investing In Buffalo

by queenseyes

It seems like more and more people are investing in our city these days. Take The Larkin Building (photo) for example. Now here is an investment that many people thought was a shot in the dark and still others were overly confident that it would never recoup the initial investment. It's projects like The Larkin Building that are making names for themselves in this city. Take, for example, Lu Modern on Elmwood. That is an investment on a much smaller scale yet it took some creative thinking to match the developers with a tenant. Lu Modern will soon open on Elmwood breathing new life into a part of that street that recently saw a Pier 1 close. There is one thing that many of these investors have in common... they believe in Buffalo.

We have witnessed many investment opportunities in recent months on BRO. Whether they were ideas for new stores, or buildings that needed to be fixed up, etc. We have found that there are people out there with the ‘ways and means’ to get projects off the ground, yet have not planted a shovel for one reason or another. For whatever reason, these investors (in Buffalo's future) are missing a component that would allow them to turn their assets into viable businesses. BRO has tapped into a few of these people who are wondering if there are any sort of investment groups where they can meet like-minded, forward thinking individuals that share in their passions for the city. Are there more people out there that have been playing the waiting game, yet want to invest in Buffalo? Please send me an email to queenseyes@buffalorising.com if you would like to find out more about these ideas and who is behind them.
