Tower280 at Midtown - Rochester Wiki

Tower280 at Midtown - previously known as Midtown Tower - was a former office building and hotel in the Midtown Plaza complex. It is now being redeveloped. Branca will have a second location here.

Original Plan - Defunct

Christa Development was originally planning on starting a rehabilitation project in 2010. The $62.2 million development calls for commercial development on the first three floors, 186 market-rate apartments on floors 4-13 and 24 owner-occupied condominiums on the upper floors. Some condos will offer garden terraces. Anticipated completion of mid-2012.

Future rendering of Midtown Tower

After the deal with Christa fell through, Buckingham Properties joined forces with Morgan Management to transform the property into a mixed-use development offering apartments, retail, and possibly a movie theater. According to Amy Polochock of Buckingham Properties:

The Tower at Midtown offers five floors of modern commercial office space in the heart of downtown Rochester. Underground parking with direct access into the building makes The Tower a dream location for downtown employees.

Upper floors of the mixed-use building are home to 182 trendy apartments featuring polished concrete floors, open floor plans, and roof decks with stunning city views. The Tower Apartments will be pet-friendly, with plans for a dog park and wash station. Floor plans feature plentiful common areas for social gatherings.

The redevelopment project is a 50/50 joint venture of Buckingham Properties and Morgan Management. Construction of the 357,000 square foot structure is projected to begin in 2013 with completion expected in 2014.
