The Residences at Carronade will feature 248 units of upscale housing which will be completed in two phases. The first, which will be ready as soon as April 2011, will consist of 140 units in a picturesque, park-like setting with a clubhouse that has a salt water pool and fountain, a state of the art fitness center and a Wi-Fi cafe. It is located in Perrysburg, Ohio, a place Family Circle magazine recently named one of the best places in the country to raise a family.

This state of the art facility is 400,000 SF with 24 docks and 30’ ceilings which is prized by distributors. The large warehouse was left empty in late 2005 following the closing and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of the former tenant that was on a build-to-lease basis. At its purchase by Weston, the building was completely vacant. With its multi-tenant conversion and the office build-out that was performed by Weston Development, the property was stabilized with nationally-recognized tenants soon after its purchase.

Weston purchased a 3 acre site of land for a build to suit for Fresenius Medical Care North America. The facility, built to their specifications, will be over 10,000sf and house over 25 employees. We broke ground on November 23rd; the project is scheduled for completion in 2011.

This project involved Owner's Representation for the construction of a new 65,000 sf state-of-the-art educational facility located on a 50 acre wooded campus. The new private upper school will serve gifted children with learning disabilities for grades 7 through 12.

The three-story residence hall compliments the traditional architecture of other campus buildings and houses 72 students.

This project involved serving as Cleveland City Council’s representative to the 5-year, $1.45 billion dollar expansion of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. This Project - with it’s nearly 150 subprojects - created a new era for air travel in Northeast Ohio.

This project required monitoring of three areas that were most critical to Council: schedule, budget and EEO compliance. We reported directly to the Council leadership on the Project status and workforce diversity - including a reporting role on legislative oversight and policy initiatives.
