This rare development opportunity is located within Rochester’s H-V (Harbortown Village District), a zoning designation that encourages a vibrant mix of retail, residential, and recreational uses. The property offers flexibility for investors seeking to capitalize on a district designed for walkable, waterfront-oriented development. With its flat topography and clear site lines, the parcel is well-positioned for new construction and tailored site planning. H-V zoning supports small-scale retail, mixed-use buildings, and destination-driven concepts, making it ideal for a range of land or commercial retail projects. This is a strategic opportunity to build within a district purpose-built for long-term growth and creative land use.

The location lies in Rochester’s lakefront corridor, just inland from Ontario Beach Park with its expansive beach, pier, boardwalk, and historic carousel.

To the east, Maplewood Park offers scenic river trails and waterfalls, enhancing the area's natural appeal. A short drive connects to Eastman Business Park, one of the region’s major industrial and innovation hubs. This blend of recreation, natural beauty, and light industrial presence makes the area a compelling opportunity for land or retail investment with long-term potential.
