The Business Development Center will make the Downtown office
market the easiest real estate offering in Northeast Ohio.
We will serve as the single point of contact helping businesses
navigate the Downtown real estate market. Just as the DCA
Clean & Safe program augments city services to enhance
visitors' Downtown experience, the Business Development Center is a
valuable supplement to ongoing efforts by property owners and
brokers to proactively attract businesses to our vibrant city
core.
While research indicates that site selection takes an average of
12-18 months, our mission is to simplify the process for brokers,
businesses and Downtown property owners. We are committed to
all stakeholders until the deal is done…and beyond.
