Stark Enterprises has selected Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO to broker office leasing for their downtown nuCLEus project. The two Cleveland-based companies agreed to terms this week, bringing together highly-skilled and experienced commercial real estate professionals from both sides to serve as partners on this project.

With a strong track record of brokering new developments here in Northeast Ohio and around the world, Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO will lead office leasing efforts at nuCLEus, the high profile, high demand mixed-use development project in Cleveland’s Gateway District, which will span 24 floors and 400,000 square feet of efficiently designed, Class-A office space with modern, unique floor plans.

“Stark Enterprises is excited to be partnering with Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO, a move which signifies our rapid growth and development,” said Ezra Stark. “The nuCLEus project is the second moving piece in our mission to change Cleveland’s skyline and enhance the connectivity of the city, and we are looking forward to working with them to accomplish this goal.”

“As mixed-use developers with a national footprint, Stark Enterprises knows exactly what they want,” said Jim Krivanek, Vice President at Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO. “We are thrilled to be a part of Stark’s positive impact in Cleveland development.”

The innovative development project will be a combination of commercial and residential, pairing a technologically advanced office tower with a second tower consisting of upscale multi-family apartments and condominiums. The groundbreaking new complex will include an abundance of amenities totaling over 38,000 square feet, including a covered parking garage, pool, fitness center, spa, indoor/outdoor meeting space, pet wash, and state-of-the-art conference center. There will also be 80,000 square feet of retail space.

“Nate Kelly and his hard-working team at CRESCO understand the needs of Stark Enterprises,” said Stark. “We both have strong knowledge about the real estate industry which blends very well together to fully accomplish the goal of finding the right companies to call nuCLEus their home.”

“This project is inspired by key developments around the globe and reflects Stark’s vision for what downtown Cleveland deserves in its first central business district high rise in a generation,” continued Krivanek. “We are honored to be a part of such an important and exciting project.”
