Former Rochester lighting store to house a medical supply center
Oct. 10—ROCHESTER — It looks like Arrowhealth, a local medical supply center, will soon be on the move to a new base in northwest Rochester.
Construction is underway at 511 Northern Hills Drive NE. The building permit describes the project as "interior demolition of approximately 6,000 square feet of an existing 12,897-square-foot building. Finishing approximately 3,212 square feet for use by a new tenant."
A follow-up permit lists the new tenant as
Arrowhealth Medical Supply
, which is currently located at 308 Elton Hills Drive NW in the Valhalla Center. The Arrowhealth office moved there in 2015,
after six years in the Beetles commercial center
on Second Street Southwest. It was located in
the Kahler Hotel subway in downtown Rochester
prior to the Second Street office.
Arrowhealth, a subsidiary of Orlando, Fla.-based Rotech, provides durable medical equipment such as ventilators, oxygen, sleep apnea treatment supplies and wound care solutions.
The space that Rochester's Reliable Contractors is renovating for Arrowhealth previously housed Northern Lights & Furnishings. It has sat empty since
Northern Lights closed in 2021
after a 44-year-run in Rochester.
Arrowhealth will occupy approximately half of the former Northern Lights space. The rest of the space will be available for another tenant.
Offices for
Bob Gill Builder, Inc.
will continue to be based in the Northern Hills building.
