Nearing a quarter-century in business, Washington Properties is a real estate development firm that builds, leases, and manages high quality commercial office space across northeast Ohio and other select locations.
Washington Properties remains a leading force in the revitalization of older central business districts in Ohio, most notably Medina’s Public Square and Wooster’s Liberty Street corridor. The firm has built, leased and managed a variety of attractive retail storefronts and professional office suites as well as mixed-use developments featuring market-rate residential lofts, spurring activity by other investors and creating a true sense of community stability and sustainability.
In addition to its signature work in the area of downtown revitalization, Washington Properties builds, leases and manages larger commercial office properties, including Western Reserve Office Park, its Medina counterpart, Western Reserve North, and Western Reserve of Brecksville. The firm has also brought to life the Heartland Pointe community center in Orrville.
Washington Properties’ founder, Mike Rose, believes in a holistic approach to community building. For that reason, the company helps establish, and sponsors, free public events in the communities it serves. These events include Medina’s popular Arts In The Park and winter ice sculpting festivals as well as Wooster’s growing arts and jazz festival.
Washington Properties received the coveted ‘Best Historic Rehabilitation Award’ from Downtown Ohio/Heritage Ohio for its adaptive reuse of an historic property to create Liberty Street Commons, a three-story, mixed-use development encompassing more than 30,000 square feet of retail and professional space in Downtown Wooster.
Washington Properties' headquarters are located at 23 Public Square in the heart of Medina's revitalized business district.
