BUFFALO, N.Y. — Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of WNY confirms they are planning to relocate from W. Genesee Street to the Seneca One Tower next spring.
Many of Highmark's employees are hybrid, so they no longer have the need for large office space.
“Moving to a more adaptive office space in Seneca One is the best way to support our team members, so they can support our customers,” said Dr. Michael Edbauer, President, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York.
“As part of our commitment to the community, it is important that we remain in the City of Buffalo, with amenities that will attract and help retain our nearly 1,400 local team members to the downtown core.”
“This move helps us continue to contribute to building the city’s economic and cultural resurgence, and we are excited to work alongside likewise community-focused and influential organizations like M&T Bank, 43 North, Odoo and Serendipity Labs,” added Edbauer.
“We are not ‘downsizing,’ but adapting to the new post-COVID workplace realities.”
The company will still retain their 1,400 employees, but say they will be able to save on administrative costs with the move.
Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield has been headquarter in Buffalo since 1936. They have relocated to various office spaces in Buffalo throughout the years
