What is 2005 Lyell Avenue like?

What makes this property stand out?
Two lease terms set this space apart: rates are quoted on a net lease basis, and the landlord offers a tenant improvement allowance that helps pay for a tenant's custom buildout. That combination lets a business shape a suite to its own layout rather than accepting it as-is.
The setting matters too. The building sits on Lyell Avenue (NY 31), one of the main east-west roads between the Town of Gates and the City of Rochester, close to where it meets NY 390. A few verified facts about the town:
- Gates was formed on April 1, 1813, under the name Northampton, and was later named for Revolutionary War General Horatio Gates, according to the Town of Gates.
- The original town reached from Lake Ontario to the Genesee River; Rochesterville and the Town of Greece were later carved out of it. Today Gates covers about 15 square miles, the smallest town in Monroe County by area.
- The town lists the Rochester Technology Park and Elmgrove Crossings among its business locations.
