SHIFT is part of DevelopROC, an experienced team of national developers led by the Dawson Co., and partnered with Rochester-based US Ceiling Corp led by Bull’s Head native Melissa James-Geska and The Oughtness Group led by John Majors, another Bull’s Head native.
The revitalization plan is driven by the City of Rochester’s strong commitment to the Bull’s Head community that has experienced significant disinvestment over several decades.
The development team met with community members to reveal and get feedback on the plan that is expected to mix commercial and retail spaces, affordable and market-rate housing, and community gathering places to create a vibrant neighborhood located at the intersection of West Main, Brown and Genesee streets, and Chili and West avenues. The plan also includes the creation of a mixed-use construction accelerator that would provide for economic development, commercial corridor development, workforce development and a critical demand for workforce housing in the neighborhood.
Development and construction company US Ceiling Corp and construction company Livingston Associates, two Rochester-based companies, will be anchors for the development at 160 Clifton Street. Livingston Associates will lead the construction accelerator to provide construction training, workforce development facility and community outreach.
