Storefront and Office Space Available in Rochester, NY.

The Inglewood and Thurston Historic District in Rochester is a go-to destination for fashion brands and independent designers seeking a neighborhood rich in history and style. This area, home to diverse architectural marvels from Colonial Revival to Arts and Crafts, provides a unique backdrop for creative endeavors. In our experience placing brands in the Ward, we've noticed smaller showrooms and concept stores particularly drawn to the streets like Thurston and Inglewood, where there's a mutual respect among boutique owners and local ateliers. With a rich mix of traditional and contemporary aesthetics, the neighborhood also becomes an ideal location for pop-up shops and short-term commercial spaces looking to stand out.

Brands choose the Inglewood and Thurston area for its tranquility and historic charm, providing an alternative to Rochester's bustling commercial districts. Unlike the bustling Midtown area, the Ward offers a quieter footfall that lends itself perfectly to invite-only formats and intimate press day locations. The better value per square meter compared to more saturated zones such as Eastman Business Park makes it an attractive proposition for brands mindful of budgetary considerations. We hear consistently from brand teams that its proximity to residential communities ensures a steady yet manageable flow of creativity-inclined clientele.
