Cleveland Real Estate News

Thanks to PR Newswire (in Cleveland!) for their recent press release regarding grant monies and a plan to make Ohio new construction affordable housing green.   We are also talking apartments, and that to me is even more terrific because more people are renting!  Here is a quote from the article: “Since we started Ohio Green [...]

NewGeography’s main staff seem to be located in North Dakota, but there are also a slew of contributing editors/writers from many other places.  There is also a blog. What is Newgeography? A combo of more geeky information (which appeals to me lol) where economic growth areas are indexed.  Unlike lists that you get in a Forbes [...]

Okay, who doesn’t need the perfect brownie?  I bet I can’t get a single no out of all of you.  I sold a house to a terrific, creative young couple a few years ago.  Turns out their creativity knows no bounds.  They are a sweets confection start up called Fears Confections.  Without a doubt, the [...]

I will say that while looking at a few condos 30 seconds from Gund Arena on Friday, this client commented that maybe [...]

For those who may have wondered if Ohio could be pro actively involved in energy companies if they started  up or relocated here, this is a good story. First Solar  is behind the Crayola Crayon company’s solar farm just being created. This is all happening in Forks Township Pennsylvania.  (I had to look it up: [...]

It was quiet on the Med Mart front for a while; last we heard there was arguing over the change in plans from MMPI regarding where it would be located.  I liked the first site choice better all along.   I don’t think you have to be a staunch preservationist to not want Public Hall torn [...]

Take it with a grain of salt, like everything else we read, but still worth reading. It’s been 11 years since Allegheny County in Pittsburgh switched to a Co. Executive/Council form of government. If nothing else, Jim Nichols’ PD article  interviews a cross section of people who were in the trenches in Pittsburgh when the [...]

KBIA News reports, both in audio and transcript form, a story about Columbia Missouri.  The residents set a goal to meet for renewable energy and they met the goal set in 2004 a little over two years early.  This project is intriguing. It uses methane gas produced naturally from (I assume) land fills/waste decomposition and [...]
