HSBC today unveiled its new, innovative workspace in Buffalo’s
historic Larkin Square neighborhood, reinforcing its presence in
the Western New York region. The move supports the bank’s approach
to fostering a dynamic environment for its Buffalo employees to
feel engaged and collaborative in the workplace, thus providing
optimal service for clients.
Prominent community guests joined the event, including Stacey
Hengsterman, CEO of Special Olympics New York; Dottie Gallagher of
Buffalo Niagara Partnership, and Howard Zemsky and Kayla Zemsky of
the Larkin Development Group. Attendees also included
representatives from the offices of Governor Kathy Hochul, Senator
Charles Schumer, Congressman Timothy Kennedy, and Assembly Speaker
Crystal Peoples-Stokes. HSBC executives included Michael Roberts,
CEO, U.S. & Americas; Michael Privitera, Chief Operating
Officer; Wyatt Crowell, Head of U.S. Commercial Banking; and
Racquel Oden, Head of Wealth and Personal Banking.
“HSBC is here to stay in Buffalo, and our innovative, new office
represents our unwavering commitment to the city and Western New
York,” said Roberts. “We are thrilled to be a part of the community
and contributing to its dynamic economy. We’re making the return to
office an engaging, collaborative and inspiring experience for our
colleagues, while at the same time, supporting the community we
serve. Together, we are not only building an office space for our
employees and clients, but a foundation for future growth and
prosperity in this remarkable city.”
“The HSBC offices are a welcome addition to the historic Larkin
District,” said City of Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown. “The impact
will even be felt downtown and in communities throughout the
city.”
HSBC’s amenity-rich location represents a significant investment
in its people. The space features new furniture and modern designs,
including a beautiful, painted mural by local artist Cassandra Ott.
Other unique aspects are an open-floor design, heads-up and
heads-down desks, and workspaces built for more efficient
collaboration.
The HSBC offices occupy three floors in a building with
particular significance to the community. It was originally
constructed in the Romanesque style in 1893, when it was first used
as a factory. Developers refurbished the building 10 years ago,
using contemporary architectural designs to align with evolving
work environments. It is now part of the broader Larkin Campus,
where HSBC employees have access to child daycare, gym discounts, a
cafeteria and local retail stores. The Buffalo office dedication
comes on the heels of additional HSBC real estate milestones,
including the opening of a new U.S. headquarters and wealth center
in New York City.
Immediately following the Buffalo grand opening, Special
Olympics New York President and CEO Stacey Hengsterman joined HSBC
staff outside its office location for a celebratory game of bocce.
This marked a preview of the Special Olympics bocce tournament held
later in the evening at Buffalo RiverWorks.
