Identifying and acquiring locations

• Challenge – To identify markets and locations well situated for entrepreneurs and large corporations’ local facilities. To understand light industrial needs including access, employment base and zoning.
• Solution – Working with CRESCO Real Estate (Cushman and Wakefield’s Cleveland, Ohio, office), we identified and pursued efficient sites in growth markets.

Design and Construction

• Challenge – To design and build this speculative project to meet the needs of our target customers with the appropriate building envelope and amenities to successfully lease and maintain occupancy.
• Solution – We built a team that included industrial architects, CRESCO’s leasing specialists and our internal construction staff. We paid special attention to key efficiency details:
  • Truck access and maneuverability, including building spacing, docks
  • Drive in doors and roadways
  • Building design elements such clear ceiling height, power, lighting and column spacing
  • Office space design with plumbing, window line and quality using affordable finish materials

Liberty Business Park has consistently been leased and has proved to be a quality investment for our company. Eight companies are located in the park. They include national distributors, locally owned businesses and a healthcare organization. The general area of our project has seen significant growth and now includes suites, multi-family residential, retail and community amenities, including a minor league baseball stadium and a new recreation center.
