Signature projects include redeveloping historic buildings like Crane Factory Flats and launching The Rye, a LEED-Gold apartment tower in downtown Cincinnati.
It manages hundreds of thousands of square feet in retail and a substantial multifamily portfolio.
The company blends new development with thoughtful upgrades, often renovating acquired properties to modern standards.
