Announcing the 2025 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award Winners

Big news! The Aqueduct Redevelopment has been honored with a 2025 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the Preservation League of NYS!

This prestigious recognition celebrates our adaptive reuse project, which transformed 180,000 square feet across eight historic buildings along the Genesee River into the new headquarters for a Fortune 500 company. The project meticulously restored the 19th-century industrial campus while creating a modern, state-of-the-art workspace.

Key improvements included a new entrance plaza, a two-level parking structure, and significant riverside park enhancements, all while integrating with Rochester’s Roc the Riverway initiative. We are incredibly proud of this project's role in reimagining and transforming Rochester's waterfront.

The Preservation League of NYS's annual Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards program recognizes the people and projects that use historic preservation to create positive change. We honor exceptional work in restoration, publications, and organizational or individual leadership.
