Description

1803 Lyell Ave sits on the corner of Lyell Ave and Alvanar Rd in the City of Rochester, positioned along one of the region's most active commercial arterials. Lyell Ave carries significant daily traffic volumes and is home to a dense mix of auto dealers, service businesses, light industrial users, and neighborhood retail — making it a natural fit for continued automotive use or commercial redevelopment. The site benefits from immediate proximity to the Lyell Ave commercial corridor and easy access to I-390 and I-490, putting the property within minutes of downtown Rochester and the broader Monroe County market. The surrounding area is characterized by established commercial and light industrial development, with a strong base of contractor, fleet, and service-oriented businesses in the immediate vicinity.Rare corner opportunity on one of Rochester's highest-traffic commercial corridors. This .49-acre site at the corner of Lyell Ave and Alvanar Rd features an existing 1,350 SF auto service building with two bay doors, a customer reception area, and three curb cuts — two directly off Lyell Ave. The lot offers exceptional visibility and access in a dense, established commercial node surrounded by auto-related businesses, light industrial users, and service-oriented retail. The property is well-suited for an owner/operator looking to continue automotive or service use, or for a developer/investor seeking a value-add redevelopment play on a high-exposure corner. The oversized lot relative to the building leaves significant land available for expansion, reconfiguration, or ground-up development. This is an as-is sale.
