10:00 AM

Newmark is pleased to announce that it has been engaged as the exclusive office and retail leasing agent for Norton Crossing, a $50 million, 25-acre mixed-use development in Whitehall, Ohio. The developer, Continental Real Estate Companies, hired Newmark to market and pre-lease the highly anticipated development, which is planned to open in the fall of 2019.

Currently underway, Norton Crossing is located on the prominent corner of East Broad Street and South Hamilton Road, on the site of the razed Commons at Royal Landing apartment complex, and a few additional smaller parcels. Continental Real Estate Companies plans to build two, two-story office/medical buildings, retail/restaurant space, park-like common areas and a three-story apartment complex featuring 360 units and a community center. Newmark Directors Cory Kooperman and Steve Siegel will lead the brokerage team assigned to lease the office and retail spaces for the new development.

“We are thrilled to be working with Continental Real Estate Companies on this first-class, dynamic project,” said Kooperman. “Norton Crossing will be an incredible mixed-use project offering tenants modern amenities such as a proposed Snap Fitness facility and Hob Knob Tavern, a first-class casual dining restaurant as well as additional retail/restaurant uses. We believe that Norton Crossing will be transformational for the area and we expect to have interest from a multitude of users.”

Whitehall has seen a recent influx of corporate relocations to the city. Wasserstrom Companies, the world’s leading restaurant supplier and distributor of food service supplies and equipment, recently relocated to 50,000 square feet in Whitehall and Heartland Bank recently moved into a new, $10 million, 60,000-square-foot corporate headquarters and branch. The city of Whitehall is on an aggressive path to lure new corporate jobs within the city limits through attractive tax incentives.
