Crocker Park Update

(Proposed Rendering from Bialosky + Parnters)
(Proposed Rendering from Bialosky + Parnters)

Crocker Park, the lifestyle center located in Westlake, Ohio announced this past week that American Greetings' new world headquarters will relocate there.  The 700,000 sf office building, new investment, and the 1,750 new employees will also spark a new hotel and 50% more retail to be built on existing land owned by the center.  


The $100 million investment is reported to include the hotel, 250,000 sf of additional retail offerings, a parking garage as well as other green space and amenities.



This is not only a shot in the arm for Crocker Park, but also for the city of Westlake.  Of course with Westlake gaining so many jobs, they had to move from somewhere else. Brooklyn, Ohio is the recipient of the bad news where American Greetings stated it will work with the various Brooklyn agencies to find a new owner for its current headquarters.
