About

Generations of excellence.

From our humble beginnings owning a single building, First Amherst Development Group has grown into one of the most respected and diversified real estate companies in Western New York.

Our transformation into an award-winning commercial real estate development and management company has taken over three generations. We spent that time identifying exactly what it is that makes a tenant's experience exceptional—and what makes a property more than a building, but a true representation of businesses and individuals.

Most of all, it's taken devotion. To clients, and to a set of principles.
