Cleveland Office Market Sees String of New Projects

Image
Trammell Crow and Cumberland Development’s Harborview project will be positioned on the lakefront next to the inner harbor and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Cleveland’s central business district (CBD) continues to make headlines as events like the Republican National Convention , the 2016 and 2017 NBA Championships and the 2016 World Series earned national attention . Within the office market, trends such as “flight to quality” and  office-to-residential conversions, which are driven by a hot apartment market , have reduced surplus supply and lowered vacancies. This has shaped metrics positively , and has put Cleveland in a position of strength for the upcoming years. The news of the year has been the purchase of Key Tower by Millennia Cos., a local real estate developer known mostly for multifamily. The company moved its headquarters from a property in Valley View to two entire floors spanning approximately 40 ,000 square feet in Cleveland’s signature office tower . Douglas Lea...

Steven was born Nov. 12, 1947 in Ithaca, New York, to Kenneth and Virginia Tipping; his father was studying law at Cornell University, where his mother had completed her undergraduate degree. He was the third of four children. His father’s work brought them to Long Island and a year living abroad in Venezuela. His parents’ divorce led his mother and her children back to her hometown in Salamanca, New York. Steven’s interest in building was evident at an early age — if he didn’t have it, he would build it. He was an athlete — football quarterback, basketball guard, pole-vaulter. Pole vaulting incorporated speed , strength, suspension, and physics. It thrilled him so much that he constructed his own bar and pit in the backyard. He practiced diligently and made it to the state level in competition. After graduating from Salamanca High School in 1965, St...

Laura … more » Business Response: Laura, thank you so much for taking a few seconds to give us a 5 star shout out. Harish Vijendran Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall. Very nice maintenance guys , who are very friendly as well. Good neighbors, even though I don't know them, never had any troub … le. Cons: Most apartments lack dual pane windows , so noise is on the higher side due to regular maintenance activities going on in other apartments, so if you are a person who works from home a lot, be ready. Rent increase was $230 for a one bed for 2017-2018 cycle. And there is easily a $100 on top of your rent advertised (monthly) Extra car parking is paid, but there is always someone who parks in your spot, in the internal community website , this is the top complaint. more » Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall.

Affordable, Unsubsidized Housing Planned for Near West Oakland BART

Panoramic Interests is the developer who recently revised it’s design for 1,031 apartment units to be built near West Oakland BART (1). Previously, the plans called for 1,400 units, but was changed to 1,031 units by removing all of the one-bedrooms, and all but two studio apartments from the plans. Other interesting facts about the revised design include removing all luxury amenities such as gyms, pet spas and chef kitchens. Also removed from the floor plans are any empty corridors, to make most efficient use of the space to provide affordable, unsubsidized housing near a transportation hub. Also, no parking is provided for the complex, just seven spaces for car-sharing and deliveries. So occupants will be relying on public transit and car services. This is certainly a design for the post-modern era that should please the millennials. The estimated rents will be around $2,500 for 2 bedrooms and about $3,500 for a 4 bedroom unit. Instead of luxury amenities, the complex will include 2...

(Photo: Courtesy) LAS CRUCES - A new, 200- unit apartment complex is springing up on the city’s East Mesa and could be leasing the first units in about six months. Willow Springs Apartments will be located off of Bixler Avenue, north of US 70 and behind the now-closed Cattleman’s Steak House on Bataan Memorial West . The property is being developed by Dillon Mountain Enterprises , LLC. which is owned by Paul Curry and his son, Jared Curry. The Currys acquired the property in 2006 from a church which had plans to build on the site but opted to purchase a building in town instead. Construction on the 14.12-acre property will require the Currys to pave more than 1,000 feet of Bixler Avenue, one of the city’s oldest platted but undeveloped rights-of-way. The completion of Bixler will open up adjoining properties to development, Jared said. “We had the property for 11 years,” Jared said. “ Ten years ago our original t...
