Work is progressing at 19-23 North Street. First Amherst Development is in the process of constructing a 39 luxury unit apartment building, a couple of blocks from The Medical Campus. The original 11,000 sq.' mansion that stood at this location was struck by lightning in 2014, before being demolished at a later date. The new project, designated “Nineteen North Apartments", is scheduled for a fall completion. HHL Architects designed the new building. Nineteen North Apartments is now pre-leasing for fall - one and two-bedroom apartment units are available from 815 square feet to 1,650 square feet. The project also features an attached secure parking garage, and is situated in close proximity to the Metro Rail. Apartment amenities include wood flooring, stainless steel appliances, custom kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, tile back splash, vented exhaust hoods, custom ceramic bathroom, tiled showers with glass surround, front-load washer and dryer, and state-of-the-art building access technology.

In November, Ben Obletz, President of First Amherst, received the 40 Under Forty Award from Business First for his many contributions to our community and the overall quality of life in Western New York.

First Amherst has been retained as the Property Manager and exclusive Leasing Representative for 100 South Elmwood, a 40,000-square-foot historic redevelopment. This unique mixed-use project is located adjacent to Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo, NY.
