As a key location in northeastern Ohio, the Akron area has<br />
continued to weather the economic downturn. In 2011,<br />
increased activity for the industrial sector included Alcoa<br />
($21 million expansion), German-based Rochling Automotive<br />
($15 million), Diebold Inc. ($100 million new HQ), Involta<br />
LLC ($20 million), and Goodyear’s World HQ to be completed<br />
in 2013 ($160 million). The new 136 acre “Seasons Greene<br />
Eco-Industrial Park” in Hudson is the first of its kind in Ohio.<br />
Industrial park redevelopment is underway at the former<br />
167 acre Twinsburg Chrysler Plant. The City of Green<br />
acquired funding for a 200 acre expansion of the Akron-<br />
Canton Airport Industrial Park.<br />
The medical community continues on a rapid expansion with<br />
Summa Hospital Systems ($17 million) and Akron General<br />
Medical ($32 million) both opening new locations in Green.<br />
On the southern extremes of the county, Timken has<br />
partnered with Stark State College ($9.6 million) for a<br />
renewable wind power facility.<br />
The University of Akron continues to be a solid partner for<br />
Akron’s development. Currently under construction are two<br />
new residence projects totaling $47 million. Downtown,<br />
Akron is continuing with its development of the Biomedical<br />
Corridor, including the construction of Austen BioInnovation<br />
Institute’s facility and the FMI Medical Systems’ facility ($16<br />
million), funded by a Chinese investment group.<br />
The retail sector continues to go at a slow but steady pace,<br />
with vacancies starting to improve. Walmart is planning to<br />
replace an existing store with a new Super Center/Sams<br />
Club. On the south side Walmart is expanding an existing<br />
store by 35,000 SF to create another Super Center.<br />
The office market continues to struggle with current overall<br />
vacancy rates approaching the 24% range, and 12% in the<br />
CBD. Rates continue to be lower and creative deals are<br />
becoming the norm. Corporations continue to be cautious<br />
and are still downsizing. There has been little to no new<br />
office development over the past two years.<br />
The state economic development department has been<br />
privatized into several regional offices. They fall under the<br />
new Jobs Ohio program, which is funded by a $100 million<br />
annual seed fund to help grow and attract businesses<br />
to Ohio.<br />

The commercial real estate market in Canton has remained<br />
relatively stable in 2011. Canton, located just 60 miles south<br />
of Cleveland, offers businesses an educated labor force, low<br />
cost of living and a great place to raise a family. Canton’s<br />
growth during the second half of 2011 centered around the<br />
oil and gas industry. The influx of tenants for both warehouse<br />
and office space helped stabilize rates and fill mostly vacant<br />
industrial buildings, land and warehouse.<br />
Much of the vacant industrial space with acreage has been<br />
absorbed by the oil and gas industry in association with<br />
drilling and exploration of the Utica and Marcellus Shales.<br />
In addition, we have seen growth in manufacturing as well.<br />
Suarez Corporation leased approximately 200,000 SF in<br />
North Canton for manufacturing the EdenPURE heater.<br />
Office space is still abundant in downtown Canton and<br />
Belden Village. Buyers in 2011 continue to see excellent<br />
deals and tenants very reasonable rates. VXI <strong>Global</strong><br />
Solutions purchased the former Ohio Bell building to locate<br />
their regional call center, eventually bringing 1,000 jobs to<br />
Canton. Diebold also announced in May that they will be<br />
building a new corporate headquarters in the area. Location<br />
and timing is still to be determined. The Pro Football Hall of<br />
Fame is also in the middle of a two year, $23.6 million<br />
expansion.<br />
Retail growth has seen a very slight upturn, but developer<br />
Stark Enterprises is in talks to create a new retail sector<br />
north of the current strip center. The Akron Canton Airport<br />
(CAK) continues to grow, meeting record numbers every<br />
year. The airport just completed an interior renovation and<br />
they are in the midst of a significant parking expansion. All<br />
local colleges including Stark State, Kent State-Stark, Walsh<br />
University and Malone University continue to grow with on<br />
and off campus expansions of educational facilities and<br />
cooperative ventures with local businesses.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> looks bright with the oil and gas industry creating new<br />
jobs and opportunities in all sectors including industrial,<br />
office, retail and land. Also, the Timken Company, a major<br />
corporation in the area is looking at construction of a new<br />
corporate office.<br />
