Bob’s Discount Furniture Inks 31K SF in Amherst 

Bob’s Discount Furniture has signed a 31,2421 square feet lease with Urban Edge Properties at Amherst Commons in Amherst, NY, taking a portion of a former TJ Maxx store. Amherst Commons, located near Buffalo, is a power center offering wholesale and discount brands as well as fitness services.  

“This is an ideal property for Bob’s second location in the Buffalo region as it will be joining other high-traffic driving brands like DSW and BJ’s,” said Leigh Lyons, senior vice president of Leasing for Urban Edge Properties. “By filling the available space in such a short time, we are able to continue to create a strong draw for the property and offer new reasons for the community to visit.”  

The transaction was arranged by Jim Lavelle of Widewaters Group, Inc., who represented both Bob’s and Urban Edge.
