Citigroup

Citigroup has operated in Buffalo Niagara for about 30 years, and decided to expand the facility to take advantage of the work force, lower operating costs, and quality of life in the Buffalo area. They have become the sole tenant in the second largest building in Amherst's Cross Point business park. The bank occupies a 156,000-square-foot, three story building that sits next to a 109,000 square foot office building that Citigroup also occupies as a back house facility. This expansion will create over 500 new jobs in Buffalo Niagara adding to the already strong financial service back office sector in the region that is here largely because of our available, productive, people.

"Citigroup chose Buffalo because of the character of the people here," said Morris, who is also chief financial officer of the division within Citigroup's corporate and investment bank. "I love this city. I love our staff here. Back at [our headquarters], I am called Mr. Buffalo because I love the place to so much."
