Success Stories
Client:
New Village Corp. / Forest City Development
Assignments: Head up the leasing for urban re-development project in Cleveland involving
the re-location of existing tenants and the upgrading of the tenancy.
Challenges:
Existing tenants had valid leases; the shopping center was in disrepair; surviving
tenants had to live-thru renovation, high pro-forma rents were necessary.
Results: Successfully coordinated the entire leasing of the project by re- locating 20 of
the existing tenants. The K&V team located and brought in six new tenants.

The center has been recognized locally as an excellent example of aggressive
urban re-development. The community has embraced the new project and the
retailers are enjoying increased sales.

Client: Cousins Market Centers
Assignments: Assemble 20-plus residential properties to create a large, commercial
development parcel in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
Challenges: Many of the parcels were investment properties and all were necessary to
develop a large shopping complex. Most of the houses were not for sale.
In addition, many Owners relied on the investment income as a living.
Results: Successfully assembled all the parcels at a price that permitted the developer
to build a 250,000 square foot Home Depot anchored shopping center. The City
was very supportive of the project and extremely pleased with the end result.

Client: Starbucks Coffee Company
Assignments: Assist/represent the real estate deal maker in opening up the entire
Akron-Canton trade area.

real estate availability. Also - store openings in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
had been weak.
Results: The K&V team helped make it possible for Starbucks to open four stores in 1997;
all of which experienced sales which were greater than projections.The market
currently holds 23 stores and is growing at a pace of 6 -7 units per year. As an
added bonus - the best performing store in Ohio is located in our region.
