City seeks new tenant for space at Port of Rochester
The city of Rochester is looking for a new tenant for space in the William A. Johnson Port of Rochester Terminal Building.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued for 7,000 square feet of space on the second floor of the building, located at 1000 N. River St. The city envisions the space being leased by someone in the food and beverage industry but is willing to entertain other ideas, according to the RFP.
“We are looking for dynamic food and beverage people to dream up what this impressive space can be for visitors and residents alike,” Mayor Malik Evans said in a news release. “This location is in a class by itself with one-of-a-kind views of Lake Ontario and the Genesee River, so we want the food hall, restaurant, brew pub or other food-related endeavor to match it.”
The space, once home to Jetty at the Port, includes a restaurant and bar area, commercial kitchen and covered outdoor patio. Another area included in the space overlooks the marina. The public entrance to the building is accessible from Lake Avenue.
Current tenants at the building include California Rollin II, Bill Gray’s, Arbor at the Port, UGI Energy Services and Abbott’s Frozen Custard.
Proposals are due by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20.
