Kango to Fill Niche in Rochester
Rochester, NY – Eagle’s Landing, a new flex/office park in Henrietta, has its first tenant: Kango Play Center. Kango is a rare combination of indoor playground and pre-school.
The development, located at 1565 Jefferson Road, a partnership between Buckingham Properties and LeFrois Development, will total 190,000 square feet of “flex” space when complete. The first two of four proposed buildings are now ready for occupancy.
“The location and flexibility of the space are a perfect fit for both traditional and non-traditional office businesses (such as Kango), as well as many light industrial applications,” said Rick Glazer, Buckingham’s Leasing and Tenant Relations Specialist for Eagle’s Landing.
Kango Play Center fills a niche in Rochester. It’s the merging of an expansive indoor playground with a first rate preschool – the only one of its kind. Parents Andy and Lisa Curwin started this exciting project over a year ago and they plan on being open to the public later this fall.
They originally started with the idea of creating a space for their own kids to play. Their vision expanded from there. With three kids of their own, Andy and Lisa know exactly what their target market is looking for.
The Curwins looked at dozens of locations and decided that Eagles Landing was the most suitable. Being on Jefferson Road, there will be exposure to many potential customers but being set back from the road offers privacy for Kango Academy students.
“The relationship between Kango, Buckingham Properties and LeFrois Development has made it possible to make this vision a reality. There are lots of very specific pieces to the puzzle and this team has done a great job putting it together,” said Andy Curwin, president of Kango.
Kango Play Center will include a giant climbing structure, roller/tricycle rink, air bounce units, toddler play area, redemption games, birthday party rooms and a restaurant.
Kango Academy, the preschool wing, will offer infant, toddler, preschool, pre-kindergarten and half day kindergarten. In order to accommodate working parents, there will be extended morning and afternoon hours to fit even the busiest schedule. “I can’t wait for the kid’s eyes to light up when they see the sign over our door,” says Curwin, “and to become exuberant when they see all there is to do inside.”
Kango Play Center will offer a very unique opportunity for Kango Academy students. Kango Play Center & Kango Academy will work in conjunction with one another. During the week (when the center will be less busy), Academy students will be able to play on the equipment as part of their curriculum. Lisa Curwin states, “With our mix of classroom activities and play, we are creating a school environment that is enriching and fun.”
