Barcalo Buffalo Living & Commerce is on a roll. First it was Canandaigua-based Frequentem Brewing Co. signing up as a tenant. Now it’s a fitness business called Pace Strength and Conditioning. And what better tenant to have than a business that caters to runners, walkers, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts? Not only will this be a welcome amenity for the residential tenants at Barcalo, it will also be a wonder neighborhood resource.
PACE Strength and Conditioning’s programming is based on the science behind functional fitness.
Currently the $38 million mixed-use development project, located at 225 Louisiana Street, is under construction. As the work continues, the goal is to pre-lease the commercial components, of which there are a number. PACE Strength and Conditioning’s owner and founder, Kathleen Granchelli, realized early on that the Barcalo building was a good fit for her business model, which already has already garnered a healthy following of fitness-enthusiasts. Actually, it’s Granchelli herself who has amassed the following, by establishing the popular BFLO Run Club five years ago (a free community-based run club). Granchelli also has 12 years under her belt, as a general manager, certified personal trainer, run coach, and class instructor at various fitness centers.
The development partners for Barcalo Buffalo Living & Commerce, the Frizlen Group and BRD Construction, expect the project to be complete in mid-2023
“After more than a decade in the fitness industry, I’m opening my first run and strength studio, and Barcalo is the perfect building to launch this new fitness concept,” said Granchelli, who encourages everyone to participate, no matter their fitness level. “Pace Strength and Conditioning will offer run-focused classes along with strength programs and personal training spanning beginner, intermediate and expert levels. Our motto is you set the pace—we help you maintain it.”
PACE will be the official home of the ever growing BFLO Run Club apparel line and offer the following programming:
Run-based classes on state of the art treadmills
Functional strength and mobility classes
Open gym access
Private one-on-one person training
The PACE deal was co-brokered by Caitlin Coder and Matt Hartrich of Schneider Real Estate. There are still commercial units available ranging from 2,000 square feet to 21,000 square feet.
“Fitness for all levels will be part of the community amenities at Barcalo, as Pace Strength and Conditioning joins Frequentem Brewing Co. as commercial tenants of this project. We’re excited to welcome Kathleen and her team as she opens her first studio space at 225 Louisiana Street,” said Karl Frizlen, president of The Frizlen Group. “With commercial space still available for offices, restaurants, businesses and retailers, we continue to welcome opportunities to add tenants that contribute to the surrounding community and Barcalo overall.”
“The project consists of numerous historic structures woven together,” said Hartrich, president of Schneider Real Estate. “Each area of the building has its own historic character and attributes, which lends itself very nicely to a vibrant mix of tenants and uses.”
