Shaping Rochester’s Commercial Landscape: A Spotlight on Adam Borrell

For more than 13 years, Adam Borrell has been an integral part of Buckingham Properties as a Senior Leasing Executive. Specializing in industrial/warehouse, and downtown office space, he’s found his niche in connecting the right tenants with the right spaces while helping shape Rochester’s commercial landscape.

At Buckingham Properties, Adam’s role goes far beyond leasing. He’s a relationship builder, problem solver, and advocate for the clients and communities the company serves. “Buckingham prides itself on building long-term relationships,” he says. “Whether it’s with a small local entity or a Fortune 500 company, we work to build lasting relationships that span decades.”

Adam values the company’s collaborative, family-like environment and its deep commitment to revitalizing downtown Rochester. That shared vision fuels his optimism for both Buckingham’s future and the city’s. Currently, the company is revamping and restructuring its portfolio—an effort that will bring a fresh mix of quality and variety to their properties.

When it comes to Rochester, the growth of mid-market industrial and light manufacturing spaces is particularly exciting to Adam. These industries, bolstered by Rochester’s legacy talent from the Big Three (Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch + Lomb), are gaining new momentum from emerging technologies.

When he’s not helping shape Rochester’s commercial real estate landscape, Adam’s focus shifts to family. Weekends often mean traveling the country for his kids’ sports, but when they’re home, it’s all about spending time together—sometimes arguing but always laughing.
