What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Marketplace Senior Apartments, a 150-unit senior housing affordable apartment project. Marketplace emphasizes the trend of decline in retail and rise in housing. The Marketplace Mall was on the decline and that warranted the mall to diversify the uses within its campus. University of Rochester launched its brand-new orthopedics center to serve as a mecca for orthopedic surgery and treatment within the mall. Marketplace Senior is part of this mall’s transformation allowing senior residents access to healthcare, retail, restaurants, and public transportation within a few feet. The building is under construction and expected to be completed in 2024.
