Canalside Commons is a reimagined industrial campus located at 1000 Turk Hill Road in the Village of Fairport, directly along the Erie Canal. Currently undergoing a thoughtful adaptive reuse transformation, the property is being repositioned as a design forward mixed use destination at the intersection of community, creativity, and commerce. Canalside Commons is not being redeveloped as traditional suburban space, rather it is being curated as a location blending retail, creative office, residential, light industrial and flexible workspace into a cohesive environment defined by character, energy, and long term momentum.
Under new ownership, the property is being elevated through a series of intentional upgrades including modernized façades, improved site circulation, outdoor seating and gathering areas, and canal-oriented placemaking designed to activate the waterfront and create a true sense of arrival. The campus will organically take shape through distinct yet connected environments from activated canal front retail and food concepts with outdoor seating, to flexible indoor/outdoor gathering areas, to maker oriented workshop spaces and character rich loft style offices. All designed to foster interaction, visibility, and a strong sense of identity.
The existing structures offer the kind of space that is increasingly hard to replicate, with high ceilings, exposed structural elements, flexible layouts, and multiple access points that accommodate a wide range of uses. The property is ideal for boutique retail and showrooms, coffee and bakery concepts, fitness and wellness operators, creative agencies and studios, makers and artisans, as well as hybrid office and flex users seeking space with authenticity and presence rather than a conventional white box environment.
The property is already home to a strong and diverse mix of tenants that reflect its community driven and creative spirit, including Amazing Grains Bread Company, Fairport CrossFit, Perinton Food Shelf, Inc., and the Turk Hill Craft School. Ownership is actively curating a complementary tenant mix to build on this foundation and further establish the property as a destination within the Village of Fairport, one of the most vibrant and walkable canal communities in the region benefiting from steady canal traffic, strong surrounding demographics, and close proximity to established shops, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods, all while maintaining convenient regional access.
Canalside Commons presents a rare opportunity to be part of an evolving, experience-driven commercial environment. Multiple suites and flexible lease terms are available, with select spaces now pre-leasing ahead of full redevelopment. Contact us for additional details or to schedule a private tour.
