What Uniland Development Company does

Uniland Development Company is a privately held, vertically integrated commercial real estate developer headquartered in Amherst, New York, operating continuously since 1974. The company develops, leases, and manages office, industrial, flex, retail, medical, and mixed-use properties across the Buffalo and Rochester markets, with a Florida expansion underway via Station Village in Fort Lauderdale and the Port Manatee Logistics Center in Palmetto. Its portfolio includes 16 million+ square feet developed, 8 million+ square feet under management, 300+ buildings, 30 office and industrial parks, and more than 400 acres of shovel-ready vacant land. Service offerings span site identification, due diligence, entitlements, design-build construction, leasing, and 24/7 property management, supported by a Tenant Portal for online payments and maintenance requests and a proprietary Office Space Calculator. The wholly-owned HANSA Workspace subsidiary (launched 2020) provides coworking and flexible office at 505 Ellicott Street in Buffalo.

Revenue is generated through five streams: commercial real estate leasing (subscription/recurring rent), property management services (managed services), construction and development services (professional services), coworking memberships through HANSA Workspace, and build-to-suit development. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated individually, with published starting points such as warehouse suites from $1,925/month at Eastport Commerce Center and HANSA day passes from $25. Go-to-market is sales-led, with experienced Account Executives guiding customers through a documented 5-step leasing process, supplemented by a self-serve property search portal and an active social/content presence.

Recent strategic activity centers on a $250M+ 100-acre Eastern Hills Town Center redevelopment in Clarence, NY (SEQR-approved June 2025, $30M NYS infrastructure grant 2026), a $107M FeedMore WNY headquarters under construction in Hamburg, a $92M City of Buffalo Department of Public Works Campus, and a $20M Evergreen Health center.
