The property was purchased from the Rochester School District by Ryan Companies, which is converting the site into a commercial project called Golden Hill Shops. Plans call for four buildings on the site.

The company also purchased a nearby site that had been operated as a BP gas station. That building is also gone and will be replaced by a Starbucks.
