A Game Changer for Local Work: Industrious Bringing Premium Flexible Workspaces to Sheridan Drive

Hey Buffalo, got some exciting news that's bound to shake things up a bit in the local business scene! Industrious, a really well-regarded company known for its fantastic flexible workspaces, is officially setting up shop right here in Western New York. And get this – their very first location is going to be in Amherst, at the ever-evolving Sheridan Drive Shopping Center. It's a pretty big deal, really, especially for anyone looking for a more dynamic and, frankly, inspiring place to get work done.

You see, Industrious isn't just about renting out a desk; it's about crafting an environment where businesses, big or small, can genuinely thrive. Imagine a place where you've got access to everything you need: beautifully designed private offices, vibrant coworking areas, and top-notch meeting rooms, all wrapped up with amenities that genuinely make your workday smoother. They’re planning for a substantial 25,000-square-foot space, which, interestingly enough, is taking over a portion of the old Macy's store. Talk about breathing new life into a familiar landmark!

This move is particularly noteworthy for the Sheridan Drive Shopping Center itself. Owned by DLC Management Corp., the center has been undergoing a thoughtful transformation, and bringing in a tenant like Industrious is a huge win. It signals a shift, you know, from traditional retail dominance to a more mixed-use future that truly reflects how our communities are changing and growing.

Why now, you might ask? Well, it's no secret that the way we work has fundamentally shifted over the past few years. There's a real and growing demand for flexible, high-quality office solutions that can adapt to different business needs, whether you're a burgeoning startup, a seasoned freelancer, or a larger company looking for satellite offices. Industrious is perfectly positioned to meet that demand, offering a premium experience that goes far beyond your average shared office space.

It's not just about the convenience, though. This kind of development brings a fresh energy to the area. It can attract new talent, foster collaboration among different businesses, and ultimately contribute to the economic vitality of Amherst and the wider Western New York region. It’s an investment in our future, really.

So, mark your calendars! While an exact date is still to be confirmed, the expectation is that Industrious will be opening its doors sometime in early 2024. It’s definitely something to look forward to, promising a new chapter for flexible work in our community. Get ready to experience a whole new way of working!
