Lumina Industrial Park

The property at 354 Whitney Street and 415 Orchard Street is a four-acre vacant industrial site, which was previously the home of the General Motors Delco plant. The site is ideal for a small industrial park or multiple industrial /commercial/ health uses. The maximum one story building that would fit on site is approximately 80,000 square feet, and development can go up in height, if needed.  Subdivision of the site can be accommodated.

The site is located with proximity to I-490, good visibility, and proximity to downtown Rochester.  It is also adjacent to a city neighborhood which can provide a pool of close by neighborhood employees.  The City's development goal is to offer this site to a use that will provide job opportunities for city residents

A distinguishing feature of this site is that it has already been remediated by the City under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Restoration Program.   While future owners would be required to comply with the terms of an environmental easement and site management plan, they will also enjoy the benefit of receiving liability protection and indemnification by the State of New York related to past environmental impacts on the site.  The appraised value of the land is only $58,500, reflecting the ongoing requirements of the environmental easement and accounting for some geotechnical limitations.

If you are interested in this site, please submit an Expression of Interest. Most City-owned properties are sold through a process that starts with a Request for Proposal (RFP). For a list of current RFPs, and to learn more about the RFP process, click HERE.
