Conifer Realty announced the successful close and construction preparation of Park Square II, the second phase of Conifer’s redevelopment of the Park Square Campus. The development is funded in part by New York State Homes and Community Renewal and the City of Rochester. The company plans to host a groundbreaking ceremony in August.

Park Square II will preserve 200 existing apartment homes and create 40 new apartment homes to replace those demolished as part of Park Square I construction. The existing building, formerly known as Midtown Manor and now as the Tower at Parks Square, has 21 floors containing 94 studio apartments and 106 one-bedroom apartments.

Phase II will complete Conifer’s redevelopment of the entire Park Square campus, resulting in 576 new or freshly renovated apartment homes in Downtown Rochester’s Neighborhood of Play.
