Management Team

 Laurence C. Glazer co-founded Buckingham Properties in 1970 and today serves as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of the Company. After earning a Master’s degree in Finance in 1969 from Columbia University, Larry sharpened his financial and analytical skills by creating and managing his own private hedge fund. In 1971, Larry entered the private manufacturing industry and quickly became the CEO of Great Lakes Press, a major Rochester-based printing company. This experience provided Larry a first-hand understanding of the needs and concerns of the business owners who have become the core of Buckingham’s tenant-base.

The sale of the printing company in 1983 gave Larry the opportunity to focus his time and energy on developing his real estate portfolio.  Buckingham Properties currently owns and/or manages more than 40 properties totaling over 7 million square feet in the Greater Rochester/Finger Lakes region. Holdings include industrial, office, medical office, retail, residential and mixed use/flex space; and prime vacant land ready for new-build opportunities.

The combination of Larry’s financial, analytical and operational skills provides Buckingham Properties a CEO who is able to successfully lead the Company through the many opportunities and challenges encountered by a growing real estate development and management company. Buckingham has successfully taken on redevelopment challenges such as the ArtCraft Optical Bldg - now Buckingham Commons; the Michaels-Stern Bldg., the Bausch & Lomb Frame Center on Paul Rd. - now the Paul Road Business Center, and a host of others.

With an eye towards continued growth, Larry has accumulated a team of well-rounded professionals to manage the core components of Buckingham Properties consisting of finance, administration, leasing, marketing, operations, design and construction.

Larry is an active member of the boards of Monroe Community College, the Jewish Home of Rochester, Rochester District Heating Cooperative, Rochester Business Alliance and Rochester Downtown Development Corporation. He is a proponent of charitable giving and supports the community work of many human service and arts organizations. Larry spends some of his spare time on the ground – gardening around his house with his wife, Jane; and some in the sky - flying his plane.
