Larry Glazer and Harold Samloff began an informal partnership in 1970 purchasing several 5-unit homes on Buckingham Street and other properties in the Park Avenue area. In the mid 70’s the Park Avenue properties were sold and the new partnership of Buckingham Properties bought a large area of mixed use buildings in the Monroe Avenue-Oxford Street area and with new building, new parking lots and extensive renovation created Oxford Square (35 stores and 100 apartments).
After Oxford Square, Buckingham Properties acquired several single user industrial complexes in the City of Rochester and re-developed them as multiple mixed-use properties. The first was University Business Center at University Avenue and Culver Road, formerly Burroughs Corporation and Gleason Works. Another example is West End Business Center (at West Ave and Cairn Streets), formerly General Railway Signal.
Buckingham Properties continues to acquire meaningful properties for adaptive re-use as modern facilities, while also acquiring and developing land for new build projects.
Among the latest additions to the Buckingham portfolio are several retail plazas (both existing and new-build), a new-build flex office park, mixed-use buildings with residential units and the former Genesee Hospital campus, a 15 acre site near Rochester’s Central Business District that is being developed into new medical and professional offices with retail and residential opportunities.
Larry was Co-Chief Executive Officer at Great Lakes Press before it was sold in 1983. Harold was an attorney specializing in various aspects of real estate purchases, acquisitions, financing, zoning and tax assessments.
Larry remains as CEO and Managing Partner of Buckingham Properties having purchased Harold’s stake in the company upon his retirement in 2001.
Chief Financial Officer Dan Goldstein and Vice President of Operations and Construction Don Lasher were named as Partners in the Company in 2007.
