RocLinks 9/3/16

September 3rd, 2016

From local development to just plain news of the weird, here are your RocLinks for this past week…

Strong Markets

Its seems Tower280 hasn’t had any trouble finding tenants. Nor have other high end buildings. This is promising for the longer term success of many of the buildings coming online in the next year.

The train, boss!

Seisenbacher Rail Interiors Inc. is coming to town. They’ll be manufacturing over on Humboldt St next to (get this) the train tracks. At a mere $12,000 per job in subsidy, this is quite likely to pay off. Even if every job was only for $40,000 (let’s call it an average), the state should be getting about $23,000 per employee in taxes. Bravo.

The Best(s)

It’s that time of year again when we all get to vote on Rochester’s Best(s). Go to town, and you know, put in a good word for my favorites while you’re at it.

I’ll bid $1

And finally, the Price is Right hit up Rochester for a recent prize. I’m flattered! Although they should maybe do some Rochester stuff too next time, and not just drive to Hilton.

Any idea what the building behind Chase Tower (to the left) is supposed to be?

I’m assuming that’s the existing Alliance Building, it’s the right location and size, just re-skinned to coordinate with the new tower.

And it would only take 7 or so years for geniuses to figure out the white marble from Italy couldn’t hold up to Rochester Winters. Then the marble would get removed and we had a white plywood tower for a while while more geniuses figured out what to cover the @#%^&*$ tower with that wouldn’t fall onto the sidewalks below.
