CHICAGO, IL - Cross Street, a Chicago-based residential real estate firm, today announced the launch of its Cleveland office, marking a strategic expansion into Northeast Ohio in partnership with local multifamily development firm The Krueger Group (TKG). Jack Doheny joins Cross Street as principal broker of the new Cleveland office. He will also continue serving as partner and vice president of TKG.
Located in Rocky River, the Cleveland office will allow Cross Street to deepen its involvement in the region by assuming management and leasing of TKG’s multifamily portfolio, which currently comprises two operational communities, a third that is nearing completion and a fourth currently under construction. Cross Street looks to expand its service offering throughout the region, including multifamily leasing, marketing, management and residential brokerage services to developers and owners.
“Cleveland is a market we’ve believed in for a long time, and this announcement represents us officially planting our flag here,” said Shane Rachman, president and founder of Cross Street. “Partnering with The Krueger Group has been a natural fit, as we’ve already been working together for over seven years. We look forward to leveraging our experience as we introduce new-to-market technologies, marketing strategies and management practices that enhance the customer experience and drive operational performance.”
Cross Street has already taken over management and leasing of two TKG developments: Breakwater Lofts, a 26-unit rental community at 1270 W. 58th St., in the heart of Cleveland’s Gordon Square neighborhood, and ORRIS, a two-phase residential community at 22603 Center Ridge Road in suburban Rocky River whose first building comprises 54 apartments. A second phase, scheduled to deliver this summer, will add 25 rental townhomes that will also be marketed and leased by Cross Street.
Through the partnership, Cross Street will also market, lease and manage TKG’s newest development, Westline, a two-building, 124-unit rental community under construction at 16000 Detroit Ave. in suburban Lakewood.
“This strategic alignment will benefit not only The Krueger Group but Cleveland’s entire development community, combining hyperlocal expertise with the resources of a multimarket firm,” said Doheny. “Working on the development side of the business has informed us on how we want these properties managed and residents served. This partnership will bring this owner-managed mindset to the Cleveland market.”
A Cleveland native, Doheny has spent more than 16 years with TKG, where he was appointed vice president in 2012 and partner in 2019.
The Cleveland launch marks another step in Cross Street’s continued expansion, joining the company’s recent acquisition of Toprock Real Estate in Denver. With offices now in three states, Cross Street continues to grow its platform while maintaining a relationship-first approach to management, leasing, sales and developer services.
