An illustration of the original Cunningham campus!
We did our best to try to emulate the original "Office" over the iconic Syrian arch.

Northern Elevation.
Part of the Southern elevation. We believe Cunningham employees were paid in this alley!
Southwestern corner of the building. This is the 4000 square foot manufacturing piece of the building.
Western Elevation
Now a loading dock, this was originally a ramp, which we believe was used to roll the vehicles into the building.
A colorized version of a photograph. Note the old building sign hanging above the Cunningham.
Renowned metal artist Paul Knoblauch helping us give homage to the original sign.
Finalizing scroll work before the sign becomes finished and hung.
We intentionally chose Corten steel so the the sign would rust and look like it's always been there!

Welcome to The Cunningham @ 9 Canal Street located in the The Susan B Anthony Neighborhood, a nationally registered historic district!  This historically significant property is the former headquarters of the James Cunningham, Son & Co. Carriage and Automobile Factory.  It served as their executive and administrative offices as well housing manufacturing processes for their Automobiles and Carriages throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s.  The property has largely been vacant since 1954 when the company shuttered it's Rochester operations.
OakGrove Development acquired the property in early 2020.  Our plan is to revitalize and reactivate the building into high impact commercial use and retail in an effort to get foot traffic and visitors into the neighborhood.  We are currently in the process of curating tenants that will be in alignment with this goal.  Some of the uses that we are targeting are artist studios and makers space, a small bar or cafe, wellness and fitness oriented businesses, photography studios, a bakery etc.

The property features:
  • Located in an Qualified Opportunity Zone
  • 10 to 15 foot ceilings
  • 3 Phase Electric
  • One loading dock and two grade level doors.
  • Located in the Center City Cascade-Canal Zoning District allows for very flexible uses.  Most indoor uses are permitted.
  • 11,798 square feet.
The location is superb, less than a half mile from downtown center city, close to major public transportation hubs, as well as very easy on and easy off from the 490 Expressway, making it an easy commute from your customers and employees who reside on the East or West side of the city.
Please see below for a walk through and for some photographs of the property.  Please call or email us for additional information!  We would love to partner with you on offering you this exceptional space!
