Haylor, Freyer & Coon Inc. (HF&C) says it has opened an Eastern New York regional office in Schenectady.
It’s the sixth office for the Salina–based insurance and risk-management agency. HF&C says it will use the location to service clients in Eastern New York and the Capital Region.
HF&C will lease new office space at Two Harbor Center at Mohawk Harbor. Two Harbor Center is a mixed-use building with a total of more than 65,000 square feet of office and retail space.
The Schenectady–based Galesi Group, a commercial real-estate development firm, is the developer on the project.
“We have been amazed by the Galesi Group’s vision for this new development,” Jim Freyer, CEO of HF&C, said in a news release. “We have been searching for the right space for our expansion for some time, and we clearly found it at Mohawk Harbor. We look forward to a mid-December grand opening. Over the years, we have seen tremendous growth in our Syracuse, Rochester, Watertown, Ithaca and Binghamton locations. It made sense to continue our successful model of distinctive and exceptional service in Eastern New York and Mohawk Harbor is definitely the place to be.”
HF&C has begun staffing this new office space, and when at capacity, the office will have 10-15 new employees or more.
These new employees will work alongside George Mahoney, a risk-management advisor, who is already located in Schenectady.
“As a full-service agency, we are looking to complement our commercial business presence with a full staff of group benefits and personal-insurance advisors. This is an exciting time for HF&C and we look forward to becoming part of the resurgence in Schenectady,” said Freyer.
David Buicko, president and CEO of the Galesi Group, said Haylor, Freyer & Coon is “exactly the type of quality employer” that his firm wants to attract to Mohawk Harbor. “We thank them for selecting our waterfront community for their new office,” he said.
