A 41,000 Sq.Ft. of high bay warehouse space, located off Miles Rd with 8 dock doors was leased to National Peening in August 2013. National Peening had been looking for a high-bay warehouse close to the freeways but had a tight budget for the project. After several tours and several RFP's to local landlords we narrowed our search to include the Corbin Drive facility. The Landlord was willing to work with the tenant and be creative. The property needed 9 months of build-out and the relocation of special equipment for National Peening. Green Bridge associates helped negotiate a long term lease that helped the tenant expand into the space and the landlord was able to amortize the Tenant Improvements over the term of the lease.

40,000 Sq. Ft. Commercial property on 1.88 acres sold in June 2013. Green Bridge Real Estate represented the Buyer in the transaction. Green Bridge was involved with communicating with the seller and title agency to achieve a timely closing with a satisfied buyer. Trionetics had leased space from their previous landlord with the understanding that they could purchase the property at a later date (purchase option). Once Trionetics understood how that leased property was constructed and the downsides of owning that space they decided to look at other properties in their current market. We had a tight target market to consider, about a 5 mile radius. They had looked for years but never found the right property in the target price range. Green Bridge persistently keep abreast of the new to market listings and properties that had been on the market for long periods of time to see if any deals could be located. We found one such building that had been listed with several brokers over the years. We eventually reached a satisfactory purchase price for both parties and closed on the property.

A 22,704 Sq. Ft of Commercial property on 4 acres was sold June 2013. Green Bridge Real Estate represented Fabricating Solutions, Inc. the buyer in the sale. The total purchase price was $626,000. Fabricating Solutions had leased the space with the option to purchase. This type of lease with an option to purchase allowed the tenant to get his equipment relocated to the site and to begin producing products quickly. This allowed the company to show positive cash to the lenders. Once the cash flow situation was satisfactory to the lenders looking at the finance package they could underwrite the purchase of the building and not slow down on the production management of the business. This scenario was beneficial to Fabricating Solutions and the landlord/seller that received cash flow prior to the sale.

None of them were suited their needs and we were asked to keep looking. We knocked on the door to a building that was not currently on the market and asked if any space was available. The owner had some space he wasn't utilizing very well and the current storage tenants weren't paying market rates. We helped create a space plan to make the building more rentable for the Landlord and created a 10,000 sq.ft. space for our client. Both the landlord and tenant were satisfied with the results.

A 4,553 Sq. Ft. of warehouse and related space was leased on February 2013. A Thirty Six (36) month lease agreement was signed to The Beard Group. Green Bridge Real Estate represented the Landlord in this transaction. The Beard Group had been looking to cut the driving time of their employees down. We identified where the majority of their workers were traveling from the Heights area. The perimeter around the target market placed many of the potential warehouses outside of the target driving distance. The other warehouses that were within the target area were either too small, too large or expensive for what was available. After several tours and discussing the market realities we came up with a particular property that needed some improvements that the landlord was unwilling to perform. A Letter of Intent was crafted to explain how the Beard Group would take care of the demolition and renovation of the space and protect the long term lease value of the space for the tenant and the landlord. This lease proposal benefited the tenant by saving driving/labor hours for the business and the landlord saved on the cash output and created cash flow for a previously undesirable space.

The former Leisy Brewing Company building was sold in August 2014 for $125,000.00 or $1.38 per Sq.Ft. Green Bridge Real Estate partner, John Wagner represented the seller in the sale. The former Brewing facility was approximately 90,000 Sq.Ft. on 5 floors. The all brick building that once was the home to one of Cleveland's largest breweries, Leisy Brewing Co. stopped brewing beer in the 1940's and the property eventually became a display company warehouse and production facility for some of Cleveland's largest companies. Eventually, when the Display Company needed additional space they moved out and donated the property to a Non-Profit group. The property fell into disrepair and vandal gangs made it their hang-out. All the utilities had been stripped out and windows were boarded up.

The property had a large highway billboard on site with commercially viable leases in place with options to extend for many years. The cash flow was attractive to the owner of the property. Our Seller was not interested in the bricks and mortar of the brewery building. That's when Green Bridge was engaged to create a marketing program for the building but keep the billboard in place for the seller. Green Bridge had large banners and signs erected on the sides of this well seen building facing all roads including the well-traveled I-90 corridor. We marketed the property on Loopnet, Xceligent, Co-Star and other listing sites. The property was one of the top ten viewed sites on Loopnet and generated numerous e-mail and phone calls every week. Several months of showings and multiple investors toured the property over that time period. Green Bridge associates negotiated with a group that was not interested in the billboard and wanted to focus on the Bricks and Mortar to develop a multi-use facility and turn part of the brewery back to its intended use. The former property owner was able to keep the billboard income and allow the building to be redeveloped.
