ActivePT Opens 15th Ward Clinic in Recently Sold Building in Northwest Rochester – Post Bulletin

ROCHESTER – After a new owner purchased a complex in northwest Rochester for $2.3 million, ActivePT plans to open a large clinical space as a new tenant.

Joan Kopazwhich founded ActivePT in Rochester in 2008, said this future clinic location will be the 15th for its physical therapy practice. After Kopaz started as a single employee, ActivePT now employs 100 people.

The plan is to build a space with 14 clinical rooms in a 4,400 square meter area previously used by patients Rooted School of Massage and Wellness Center. Kopaz hopes to have it completed, staffed and ready to open by early 2015.

The 10,800-square-foot building at 4229 West Frontage Road is across from and nearby Broadway Pizza Mayo Clinic’s northwest medical complex. SalonCentric and the non-profit MagiKids by Weirdcards are among the other tenants.

Kopaz said this location is a good fit for ActivePT.

“Convenience is really important when people need physiotherapy as this often means more than just once a week visits. That close proximity, ideally within a 15-minute drive for patients, is what we want to achieve,” she said. “Location wise, this building was very appealing because it is so close to (Highway) 52. It gives people easy access to this place, and that was a big appeal for us.”

ActivePT’s most recent office opening was last summer Island Fitness Pine Island Gym. Kopaz has five offices in Rochester, as well as offices in Byron, Plainview, Stewartville, Lake City, Mantorville, St. Charles and Preston.

Another positive aspect of the new Frontage Road location is that the new owner, TW Holdingsplans to refresh the 32-year-old building, starting with the parking lot.

“We are excited about the improvements the new owners will make to the property,” Kopaz added.

TW Holdings, led by Henna Kalsipurchased the Frontage Road complex on Sept. 30 with a $460,000 down payment on the $2.3 million purchase price.
