THE MARKETPLACE MALL WELCOMES URMC ORTHOPAEDICS AND PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE CENTER
In November 2019, The Marketplace Mall and URMC announced a partnership to bring both evolving retail space and advanced medical demands into the future. The $240 Million project covers 330,000 square feet as URMC is repurposes the former Sears wing at The Marketplace Mall. The project will reinvent and elevate the property, and the Greater Rochester Area. Patients will benefit from accessible and state-of-the-art medical services, the community will watch a beloved space see new life, and The Marketplace Mall will see an invigorated future. As this project continues to progress, The Marketplace Mall continues to see new elements and tenants joining the property – moving the center to a mixed use space with retail, services, entertainment, dining, and even lodging.
