Project Overview
Westside Construction Group is delivering tenant improvements and a major addition to convert an existing one‑story industrial building in Rochester, New York into an ambulance dispatch hub and fleet service center. The project transforms a vacant 21,836 SF facility with a new 15,851 SF addition (37,687 SF total) to support vehicle wash and repair operations, offices, and storage, along with upgraded sitework, parking, and landscaping. Work is being completed under a City of Rochester building permit as a Type IIB construction project with full compliance to current codes and inspection requirements.
