CLEVELAND — ErieView Development, an Ohio-based real estate development firm headed by the Kassouf family, has closed on $218 million in financing for the new W Cleveland mixed-use tower in downtown Cleveland. The adaptive reuse project will convert the 40-story Erieview Tower at 1301 E. 9th St. into a 210-room W Cleveland hotel, 215 rental residences and Class A office space. The W Cleveland’s residential units will mark the first apartments under the W brand that are exclusively for-rent, rather than for-sale, residences. The project also represents the first W hotel in Ohio and Marriott International’s first luxury hotel brand to open in Cleveland since the opening of The Ritz-Carlton Cleveland in 1990. Both renters and hotel guests will have access to 24-hour concierge services and other amenities, including a fitness center and spa. Both the hotel and apartments are slated to open in late 2027. The offices at W Cleveland, which will be on floors 29 through 38, will be delivered on a turnkey basis on tenant schedules through 2028. ErieView Development plans to appoint a leasing agency for the offices in the fourth quarter of this year. Other components of the W Cleveland will include a signature restaurant and …

InterFace-Seniors-Housing-Southeast-Investment-Panel

By Taylor Williams ATLANTA — The cog between the wheels, the mortar between the bricks, the grease between the skids — when it comes to seniors housing, whatever your preferred cliché is for the factor or mechanism that makes it all work, you’re likely talking about the operator. Operators in seniors housing have always provided crucial services in the forms of resident caregiving, facility maintenance, property marketing and programming execution. But in 2026, amid a rebounding investment sales environment, third-party operators also play important roles in helping sellers accurately underwrite costs that fall outside their traditional line-item purview. In addition, the reputation of the operator can factor into the buyer pool of a property being marketed for sale.

McKinney-Air-Business-Park

By Taylor Williams The Texas industrial market could use a little ABS.  The acronym, which stands for automated ball-strike system, has been a — wait for it — game-changer in 2026 for Major League Baseball, the innings of which are often invoked as metaphors for points in real estate cycles. The ABS system establishes a clear, objective picture of the strike zone that eliminates doubt among players, managers and umpires about whether a pitch is a ball or a strike.  Like any good sports technology, the system provides clarity on the rules of engagement, which leads to better operational execution. It’s been a — wait for it again — big hit for the game.  Efficiency in real estate development and investment similarly hinges on data that is governed by universally accepted frameworks. While there is always the hopeful possibility of stumbling upon a hidden indicator, most real estate investors and operators are inter-reliant on themselves — in the form of industry comps — and their established metrics to understand where they are in a given cycle. There is room for disagreement, but only to a certain extent. With regard to industrial real estate in Texas, what is essentially indisputable is …

When it comes to Florida’s industrial real estate market, Orlando is often viewed as a single, high-growth distribution and operations hub. For those of us on the ground, however, the more important story is that the market is no longer moving uniformly. According to Colliers’ market reports for the second quarter of 2026, the Central Florida market reached approximately 253.6 million square feet of industrial and flex inventory, while industrial vacancy improved to 7.4 percent from 7.5 percent in the first quarter. Those figures point to stable fundamentals overall; however, the reality is that demand is becoming more concentrated in well-connected submarkets with established infrastructure and modern industrial inventory. This shift is most visible among owner-users and tenants seeking less than 100,000 square feet. For these companies, location affects labor access, delivery times and operating costs. Large regional distribution users still evaluate sites through a broader logistics lens, often considering service radiuses of 200 to 400 miles, while smaller and midsized occupiers place greater weight on immediate connectivity. Southeast Orange County Southeast Orange County remains Orlando’s strongest industrial submarket because of its transportation connectivity, established infrastructure and concentration of modern industrial space. Southeast Orange County recorded 240,815 square feet of …
